I'm Putting My Amazon Prime Account to Good Use for These Underrated (and On-Sale) Designer Fragrances

Notes: Bergamot, orange blossom, tuberose, jasmine, cedarwood, vanilla

I feel like this perfume doesn't receive nearly as much internet hype as other designer scents, and that's a shame, because the floral-woody concoction is my top pick for a sophisticated, daily perfume. Its top notes are soft and sweet—think bergamot and orange blossom. The middle notes lend a certain timelessness (I'm looking at you, tuberose!), and finally, the base notes of cedarwood and vanilla offer a warm, grounding quality. I find it to be utterly elegant, which is why I wear it constantly. I wasn't kidding when I said it's the perfect daily perfume.

Notes: Rose, lily, jasmine absolute, mandarin orange, pink peppercorn

This is one of the most underrated fragrances of all time...at least it is in my book. It might not sound all that special with popular notes like rose, jasmine, and pink peppercorn, but trust me, it is. Fresh, floral, and balanced, it has strong signature-scent potential, and it's as timeless and anti-trend as Ralph Lauren's fashion aesthetic. I've said it before and I'll say it again: If there's one thing I'm going to put my Prime account to good use for ahead of Valentine's Day, it's this.

Notes: Rose, raspberry coulis, black vanilla

This is like the previous perfume's sultry, spontaneous alter-ego. The sophistication of the original Ralph Lauren Romance is still there, but it's deeper and made more mysterious with the addition of juicy raspberry and black vanilla. If you tend to veer towards fruity scents, this one's for you.

Notes: Orchid, red vanilla, vine peach accord

Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb is an iconic scent that many beauty editors have been intimately familiar with since the early to mid-2000s. (The original elixir debuted in 2005). Well, I love nostalgia, especially if it comes with a twist, which is why I was excited to see this perfume a part of Amazon's sale section. With notes of orchid, red vanilla, and peach, it's a floral-fruity scent that gives "daring"—even "carnal"—rather than innocent.

Notes: Blackcurrant, green apple, jasmine, musk, vanilla.

If you know me, you know I love a green apple scent, but only if it's done well. If it smells too immature or artificial, like a green apple-flavored lollipop, I'm out. However, if it smells like a freshly sliced Granny Smith and is balanced with other, sophisticated notes, I'm absolutely in. I find that *good* green apple scents have a crisp quality, like a fresh spring breeze. They smell clean and elevated. Burberry's Classic Eau De Parfum is exactly that. The green apple is balanced by juicy blackcurrant, sophisticated jasmine, earthy musk, and creamy vanilla. It's divine.

Notes: Pomegranate, black orchid, lotus blossom, mahogany wood

It's not often that pomegranate receives top billing in a designer fragrance, which makes Calvin Klein's Euphoria Eau de Parfum exceptional. Bold, rich, and juicy, I can almost imagine the dark red pearls of a pomegranate glistening in the light. Creamy black orchid, aquatic lotus blossom, and grounding mahogany wood round it out. I can see this being a newfound favorite to the uninitiated (ahem, Gen Z). BTW, it was also launched in 2005...so it's basically vintage.

Notes: Mandarin, gardenia, caramel, amber

Speaking of nostalgic fragrances of yesteryear, is there anything more recognizable to a millennial than Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy? It takes me back to bedazzled flip phones, watching The Simple Life on TV, and wearing a velour tracksuit (duh). This was one of the first fragrances I bought, and honestly, I love it just as much as I did back then. Its fruity-floral scent is bright, bold, and flirtatious, and to me, it's as relevant now as it was back then.

Notes: Pear, blackcurrant nectar, Damascena rose, jasmine, black tea

My sister and I both count Armani Beauty's original Sì Eau de Parfum as one of our favorite designer scents...well, ever. So when the brand debuted Sì Passione, we didn't have high hopes. (If it's not broke, don't fix it, right?) However, it's equally as good...if you like fruity-floral fragrances, that is. The fruit notes come first (pear and blackcurrant), but they're quickly followed by elegant rose and jasmine. It's confident, passionate, yet somehow delicate, too.

Notes: Honeysuckle, jasmine, peony, and sandalwood

Burberry's London Eau de Parfum was intended to be a "modern, yet elegant scent which captures and celebrates the city of London." It features exquisitely soft notes—honeysuckle, jasmine, and peony to be specific. It smells like a light breeze winding through a prim, English garden. Light, fresh, and floral, I have yet to find a single person who doesn't love it.

Notes: Bourbon vanilla, Italian bergamot essence, jasmine grandiflorum

This is a classic solar fragrance. If you're unfamiliar with that term, I got you. A solar fragrance mimics the warmth of the sun and is often described as "sun-kissed," "tropical," or "bright." This one achieves that with bourbon vanilla, bergamot, and jasmine. It smells like an expensive vacation spent in a lush, tropical locale.
