While I do have a few (fine, 16) favorite perfumes of all time, I usually rotate my fragrances based on the season. Autumn and winter beget cozy, crisp blends (think candied apple and rich cocoa), while spring inspires any airy elixir that makes me smell like a frolicking garden fairy. As for summer, which is right around the corner? I'm craving juicy, fruity gourmands that smell like a freshly baked peach cobbler cooling on the windowsill, the aroma mingling with the fresh, gentle breeze. A dream, no?
Peach may not be the most common fruity perfume note—cherry takes that medal—but it is arguably the most versatile. It can read creamy and sweet, tart and juicy, or even seductive and boozy depending on the blend. No matter your preferences, you'll be sure to discover a mouthwatering peach perfume you love below.

The 10 Best Peach Perfumes of 2025
Key notes: Pêche de vigne, Sicilian blood orange oil, davana oil, patchouli, sandalwood
Fragrance type: Woody, fruity, floral
Who What Wear Beauty Director Erin Jahns considers this fragrance "one of [her] all-time faves," and I have to agree. Intoxicating is the only word I can use to describe it, as the unique, woody-fruity blend has such a seductive dry-down. Yes, it's pricey, but it's one of those fragrances that will have people stop in their tracks to ask what you're wearing—which is worth the splurge, right?
Customer review: "My all time favorite TF fragrance. Yes, better than Lost Cherry. I said what I said, LOL. So complex and perfect. Easily my most complimented perfume. I get stopped all the time. Save your coins, it’s worth the splurge!"
Key notes: crystallized rose petals, lavender, sage blossom, orange blossom water, praline, peach, moss, tonka bean, musk
Fragrance type: Fruity, floral
Okay, do not sleep on this Khloé Kardashian number! It's super light and airy, and the peach—while subtle—really brightens up the blend. It's so refreshing that it lives on my desk for midday touch-ups, and last time I sprayed it at the office, I immediately received two "What perfume did you just use?" questions from my coworkers.
Customer review: "I am so glad I bought the large size. I love the bottle too. I love how airy it smells and it's not too overpowering. A little goes a long way. This perfume wears very well, and I'm a believer in honest reviews. I get nothing for making this but I know how hard it is to buy perfume for the price and end up to hate it. I've done it, LOL. This I would buy again."
Key notes: White peach, osmanthus, sandalwood
Fragrance type: Floral
This is the scent I gravitate toward after a rigorous "everything" shower. You know when you want something that feels light and fresh? This perfume 1000% fits the bill.
Customer review: "I love Peach Fields!! It is a true peach scent (not too sweet like candy) with a base of sandalwood; it’s the perfect peach scent! I went ahead and also bought the body and hair mist too."
Key notes: Lemon, fougeres, jasmine, honey, vineyard peach, bergamot, mandarin, white musk
Fragrance type: Fruity, floral, woody
Ever wish you could be instantly transported to the French Riviera? Until teleportation becomes a thing, this bottle does just the trick. You might not immediately associate peaches with the region, but take it from Ben Krigler, a fifth-generation perfumer for the iconic Krigler brand—peaches are huge in France. "If you want to feel like a princess in Monaco attending the Grand Prix, this is a perfect scent for that," he once told WWW. Consider me sold.
Editor review: "It’s not saccharine or artificial. Rather, it’s a reined-in, perfectly ripe version of the fruit. The peach notes are balanced with lemon and fougère. (For those wondering, fougère is a fragrance family that translates to 'fern-like' in English.) The fougère in Mediterranean Peach is an aggregate that has unexpected notes like lavender and sandalwood, which add a woodsy touch to the fresh, fruit-heavy fragrance." — Katie Berohn, former WWW beauty editor
Key notes: Vetiver, ylang-ylang, strawberry isolate, grandiflorum jasmine, bitter orange, black currant bud, peach isolate, violet leaf, orange peel, mandarin, grapefruit
Fragrance type: Fruity, floral
I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but the name "Dirty Peach" sounds right up my alley. I absolutely adore a fragrance that flips my expectation on its head, and this one is deliciously mysterious. Don't worry; it doesn't smell like rancid fruit—try sun-drenched skin after hours of lounging in the garden.
Customer review: "A sample of this fragrance was given to me on my birthday. I just had to have it once I smelled it. Citrus and peach just happen to be my favorite base notes. Super-appreciate that it’s made with non-toxic, cruelty-free ingredients. Definitely a new favorite!"
Key notes: Brazilian gardenia, mandarin, red currant, orange flower, jasmine flower, peach nectar, almond cream, cocoa bean, sandalwood, whipped cream, vanilla
Fragrance type: Gourmand
Oh, how I love a fruity gourmand scent—and Viva La Juicy has been my biggest obsession for years. Like this version's name (Sucré) suggests, the juice is very dessert-like, but the addition of mandarin, red currant, and peach keeps it feeling sophisticated. It's nostalgic, sparkling, and addicting, let me tell you.
Customer review: "I can't stop sniffing my wrist just because this perfume is too good. It's yummy, beautiful, floral and fruity with a sweet background. I'm not a fragrance expert, not sure how to put it into words, but this one makes me feel pretty."
Best Feminine: Kilian Flower of Immortality Parfum
Key notes: White peach, blackcurrant, iris butter, rose, tonka bean
Fragrance type: Floral
Kilian fragrances are known for bottling pure elegance and mystery (likely the reason Rihanna is a major brand fan), and this gorgeous floral is no different. I mean, it's inspired by "a peach blossom floating on a crystal-clear stream." How can you not swoon after that statement?
Customer review: "Beautiful fragrance, smells like beautiful white peaches in the most sophisticated and non-teenage way possible. NOT like the Tom Ford Bitter Peach at all—the two are very different. This is soft, lovely, floral peaches. My husband said 'yummy peach schnapps' LOL. I took a star off because it has poor longevity, but I still love it!"
Key notes: Cassis, acacia honey, peach
Fragrance type: Fruity floral
If you're looking for a light, refreshing spritz, I can't recommend this Jo Malone elixir enough. Evoking a "ripe peach plucked from a market stall in the early morning sun," it's the perfect spring/summer spritz. It's also wonderful for layering given its airy dry-down—try Wood Sage & Sea Salt to add a creamy, intoxicating quality.
Customer review: "Perfect springtime scent. You definitely get the nectarine and peach notes once it dries down. Even though Jo Malone usually doesn’t last long on me, this one does! Love this!"
Key notes: Bergamot, mandarin, white peach, orange flower, nymphea, vetiver, akigalawood, ambrofix musk
Fragrance type: Floral
I can always tell when someone is wearing Valaya, and I will always tell them they smell incredible. (I just experienced that scenario the other night, in fact!) It's probably one of the most sophisticated floral fragrances I own, as it has the most gorgeous woody, musky dry-down. The peach here is subtle and adds more of a refreshing brightness, as opposed to a juicy, cobbler-like aroma.
Customer review: "I’ve never done a fragrance review but had to for this one. I’ve tried other fragrances from this brand but was not impressed. But this one is different. You just know from the first spray that it’s the one. And after a few minutes it’s even better. It’s light and fresh with a sweetness, feminine and sophisticated. Just cannot stop smelling it. I’m in love!"
Key notes: Blackcurrant, peach nectar, white musk, pink sugar
Fragrance type: Gourmand
That said, if you are hoping to smell like a freshly baked peach cobbler, here's your pick! It definitely reads sweet, but it doesn't slap you in the face with spun sugar, like the body mists you might have spritzed on as a teen. One reviewer compared the scent to "sugar dusted over fresh fruit," and I think that's the perfect description—fruit-forward with a touch of sugar that never feels too saccharine.
Customer review: "I bought this as a blind buy. I was looking for the perfect 'every day' fragrance. I wanted to smell clean and fresh, but not overly powdery or flowery. This smells like fresh linens with a hint of peach and sugar. I love this and forsee myself wearing this all the time."
Best Woody: Guerlain Pêche Mirage Eau de Parfum
Key notes: Peach, blackcurrant, saffron, osmanthus, leather, sandalwood, amber
Fragrance type: Woody, musk
Leather perfumes simply exude cool. Edgy, bold, and mysterious, they're what I reach for when I want to feel powerful and confident. This Guerlain potion adds an unexpected fruity touch to the mix (notably, peach and blackcurrant), which gives the blend some extra warmth and brightness. Take it from me: This "fruit leather" fragrance is so dreamy.
Customer review: "Blind buy success!! Fresh, juicy realistic peach blended beautifully [and] settles into a textured, creamy slightly woody base!! Yummy."
What to Look For in a Peach Perfume
Peach is an incredibly versatile—and highly underrated, IMO—note in perfumes. Depending on the rest of the blend, it can read light and floral, juicy and tart, or creamy and cloying. That said, you'll want to consider which fragrance family you prefer in order to get the most out of your peach perfume.
- Floral Peach: Peach's naturally sweet, juicy aroma can really open up a light floral. It also adds a subtle warmth to the blend.
- Spicy Peach: Spicy and fruity notes are a top-notch pair. (Like chili on mango, it just works!) Cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, clove… They all give the peach some much-needed zing that reads slightly boozy.
- Gourmand Peach: Peach cobbler fans, this one's for you! Peach notes are downright heavenly in sweet, edible fragrances, and a fruit-forward gourmand will always smell more sophisticated than your standard sticky-sweet vanilla.
- Solar Peach: Imagine biting into a ripe, ice-cold peach on a particularly balmy day (ideally beachside). Sounds sublime, doesn't it? Peach instantly adds a juicy quality to beachy solar notes (think vanilla, coconut, neroli, et al.) that practically screams summertime.
