Who isn’t a fan of the run-of-the-mill spritz perfumes? One of life’s great pleasures is being enveloped by a cloud of your favorite scent before a long day ahead. And while we do love a classic, the up-and-coming option is roll-ons – and yes, it may seem not as glamorous but it will leave you with a longer-lasting top note that will follow you around all day.
So, whether you wear a scent through the changing seasons or are a brand enthusiast, here is our list of roll-ons that will leave you basking in smell-related compliments.
Kai Rose Perfume Oil
We love the smell of rose, it’s almost nostalgic. Fresh and a staple in most of our (or at least our mum’s) bathroom cabinets, it’s clean and uncomplicated. This Rose Perfume from Kai smells deliciously floral, perfect for travel and is formulated with essential oils so it doesn’t leave any greasy residue on your pulse points.
Aesop Marrakech Intese Perfume
A little bit woody, a little spicy and a touch floral, this potent ‘unorthodox’ fragrance is great for long summer nights. It’s genderless, too.
Byredo Bullion Roll-On Perfume Oil
Alcohol-free (perfect for sensitive skin girls) the brand describes this scent as ‘singing the fragrant tune of Arabia and Ancient Persia’ and is a homage to the Middle East.
Christian Louboutin Trouble in Heaven Perfume Oil
A play on the classic Louboutin perfume, Christian Louboutin describes this as ‘intimate and overt’ as it’s blended with a heart of delicate Iris Flower. Peppered with notes of Bergamot, Rose Bouton and Amber, it can be used on your pulse points or through your hair.
Natalie La Rosa Eau de Parfum Roller Ball
Inspired by the rose garden of the late Hollywood film star Natalie Wood, this scent was created by Natasha Gregson Wagner (her daughter) in collaboration with master perfumer Claude Dir. Its infused with rose, geranium and heliotrope for a fresh yet old-fashioned vibe.
Byredo Gypsy Water Rollerball Perfume
One of Byredo’s bestsellers, Gypsy Water is richly inspired by the glamourization of the Roman lifestyle and fascination with myths. It’s fresh, smokey and a little woody thanks to the melding of bergamot, lemon, incense, pine, amber and vanilla.
