Scent Type: gourmand fruits

Notes: strawberry, glutinous rice, red bean paste, brown sugar, vanilla

If you're a fan of strawberry milk, milkshakes, or all the above, you'll want to get your hands on this D'Annam scent. Strawberry Mochi opens with a starchy, mildly sweet starch note that pairs beautifully with strawberry. Lingering just bellow the surface is red bean paste, smooth brown sugar, and vanilla.

Scent Type: fruity florals

Key Notes: blackcurrant, jasmine accord, white woods, musk, dry amber

According to beauty editor Kaitlyn McLintock, this sweet and sophisticated scent isn't as over-the-top sugary as some other fruit-forward fragrances.

"Although it's not my everyday perfume, I tend to wear it when I'm craving a sweet and classic scent."

Emma Walsh, beauty editor of branded content, also sings its praises, saying, "[The perfume] opens with a burst of juicy berries along with delicate jasmine and violet notes. A base of heavenly amber and musk then opens then deepens the fragrance. Be prepared for compliments from strangers, just sayin'!"

Scent Type: fresh fruits

Notes: bergamot, mara strawberry, pink pepper, jasmine petals, woodland greens, cedarwood, oakmoss, musks, orris root

While you may immediately think of strawberry perfumes as considerably sweet and cloying, this one is unexpected and bright. The additions of pink pepper and bergamot adds some sharpness and musk, which helps balance out the sticky, sweet strawberry. Not only does it literally strike all the right notes, but it also lasts on skin and fabric for hours.

Scent Type: fruity florals

Notes: strawberry, pear, honey, rosebud, vanilla, green moss

Notes: datura flower, patchouli, red berries, white musk

The dynamic duo of patchouli and white musk gives it a sensual touch. We all agree this is the most romantic scent of the bunch.
