I Tested All 5 of Harry Styles's Pleasing Perfumes, and This One Was My Undeniable Favorite

Notes: Australian pink pepper extract, cardamom, clean sheets, orris butter, carrot seed, bamboo, Indian papyrus, cashmere woods, salted musk

I think this "clean sheets and musk" fragrance is, hands down, one of the most interesting scents I've ever sniffed. Equal parts fresh and spicy, it reminds me of the indie boutiques that line South Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas. (I used to live there, so forgive me for making such a specific reference.) The boutiques in question have an undeniably cool vibe, often selling unique, handmade items while wafting incense into the air. This scent has a similar aura of unbothered effortlessness.

Even though I'm single, this scent immediately struck me as one I'd share with a significant other because 1) I'm obsessed with it, 2) it's a true genderless scent, and 3) I'm pretty sure couples who choose a signature scent together stay together. Regardless, I've been wearing it nonstop since it first came across my desk. Suffice it to say this is my favorite Pleasing perfume.

What's better than snagging your new signature scent in candle form?

Notes: Plum, tobacco leaves, orris butter, marine accord, cedarwood, tonka bean absolute, Madagascar vanilla, amber

If I had to describe this scent in three words, I would say, "fresh, cheerful, and uplifting." Even though it's not technically a citrus scent, I get a similar effect from it. Maybe it's the combination of fleshy plum, sweet orris butter, and breezy marine accord, but it's giving sepia-toned smiles under the summer sun. (Believe it or not, I wrote this before checking Pleasing's official fragrance description. The brand describes it as such: "Fading into sleep beneath the hot sun. … Time slips away, basking in a midday reverie." Similar vibe, right?)

Funnily enough, this is described as a "woody amber" scent, and while it certainly has woody amber notes, I don't think I'd describe it that way. To me, it's much brighter and more joy-inducing than other woody-amber perfumes I've worn. I love it, and I don't say that lightly.

I have the perfume. Now I need the candle.

Notes: Spanish blood orange, Nigerian ginger, Italian tangerine, French clary sage, ruby orange, clementine blossom, elemodor, crisp amber, moss, Haitian vetiver

French perfumer Jérôme Epinette created the newest Pleasing fragrance. As he puts it, Happy Accident Eau de Parfum "is a scent of serendipity, designed for those who know the best moments are the ones you don’t see coming. I just love that. As for the scent, it's basically a bright burst of summer sunshine, bottled. Even though the notes include Spanish blood orange, tangerine, and ruby orange, I detect a distinct lemon scent. (Don't ask me why.) It's energizing and uplifting, and I could see myself wearing this regularly throughout the summer. However, I don't think I'd reach for it as often come fall and winter, which is why I'm ranking it third on this list.

One thing I love about this scent is how it evolves on the skin. At first, it's pure citrus (juicy and zesty), but as it sits, I detect the spicy ginger, the warm amber, and the earthy moss notes. It's a transformative scent that, in my opinion, becomes more sophisticated with time.

Notes: Ambrette seeds, lemon, Madagascar black pepper, white linen accord, poplin blossom, ambroxan, skin musk

Clean and breezy, this scent is as refreshing as spring rain. Notes of lemon, white linen, and poplin blossom give it a fresh laundry vibe (in the best way), while the addition of ambrette seeds and skin musk evokes just-showered skin.

Honestly, I feel bad placing this third. It's too good to be third, but then again, I love Closeness and Bright, Hot so much that they have to be first and second. Do you see my conundrum here? I think it comes down to which scent profile you usually gel with. If you like sophisticated skin scents, go for Closeness Eau de Parfum. If you like bright, citrus-esque scents, choose Bright, Hot Eau de Parfum. Finally, if you like clean-smelling scents, opt for Rivulets Eau de Parfum.

This is the kind of candle you light when you want to bring freshness to your space.

Notes: Indonesian clove buds, caramel, jasmine petals, agarwood essential oil, Indonesian patchouli fraction, Madagascar vanilla absolute, black amber

Last, I want to discuss the brand's newest fragrance, Welcome Dreams Eau de Parfum. To me, it smells well-worn and comforting, like a thick blanket pulled from a linen closet. The clove and caramel notes are the most potent, followed by resinous patchouli and creamy vanilla. It finishes off with an ever-so-subtle, uplifting note of jasmine.

Thanks to its woody and earthy notes, I'd say it's more traditionally masculine than feminine. However, I wouldn't let that stop me from wearing it. (At the end of the day, scent is genderless.) Plus, the floral and gourmand notes—namely, jasmine, caramel, and vanilla—give it a smooth, sweet, and slightly sensual nuance.
