This perfume is enchanting and sultry and has a history that speaks to its romantic heritage. Balincourt is the name of the family estate where the creators of the fragrance house discovered a trail called "Lover's Lane." Along this trail, cedarwood and sandalwood mingle with cinnamon nutmeg and earthy vetiver, which makes up the dominant notes of No. 4. "I adore this scent," says Di Donato. "It's warm and complex and I love it for a long night of dancing because the scent deepens with wear as it mixes with your body chemistry."

Dior Joy

Di Donato loves the longevity of this airy scent, which she says "features florals, citrus, and slight essences of pear. The citrus keeps the scent from being treacly and delivers warmth. But I'm really drawn to the sandalwood and bergamot, which continue to balance out the profile."

"Attention-grabbing, but not cloying, it's exactly right for a bride (and is something you'll spritz on well beyond the big day).”

Byredo Blanche

"This floral fragrance is one of the cleanest I've experienced," says Di Donato. "Hints of rose, peony, and violet subtly intermingle with an aldehyde hit, which softens the sweetness of the florals. Traces of sandalwood and musk give the scent dimension and a crisp woodsiness. As the name implies, there's a freshness to this scent that's so suitable for bridal."

Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia

$39 at Nordstrom

“Yes, this fragrance does smell amazing. but that's not my favorite thing about it," says Rello Duffy. "As editors, we look at wedding photos all day long, and there's something to be said for ensuring all of your details—right down to the perfume you spritz on during getting-ready photos—look amazing. This is the type of bottle your photographer won't ask you to tuck away during your pre-nuptial portrait session.”

Yves Saint Laurent Libre

This sensual floral perfume is as sophisticated as the striking gold bottle design. Notes of orange blossom, lavender, and musk entwine for a fragrance that's romantic and feminine—a must for the classic bride. "Although I wouldn’t consider myself a classic bride, I enjoy the soft, floral vibes of this layerable scent, says Cher Checchio, our copy editor. "This wedding fragrance’s orange and musk key notes create a statement that’s as bold as the bottle."

While it's an obvious choice for a beach or destination wedding, there's nothing basic about this scent blend. "For someone with a love affair with the West Coast, this scent is so Los Angeles," says Di Donato. The bright, fruity fragrance contains notes of blackcurrant, citron, and lemon, along with more surprising coriander and basil seeds, peppermint, and orange. It's a fresh scent that will fit in perfectly with tropical vibes. "It's warm with notes of citrus and sweet, and has incredible silage that lasts from day to night."
