Finding the ideal perfume is an important part of expressing yourself as a woman. Scent is strongly linked to emotions – and the right perfume can make you feel irresistibly feminine.
Now, how do you go about finding that perfect feminizing perfume? I’m glad you asked!
In this blog post, written specifically for crossdressers and transgender women, I’ll walk you through various perfume scents and the impressions they create.
This way, you can confidently choose a perfume that perfectly complements your individual style and femininity.
Floral Perfumes
Floral perfumes are created using the scent of a single flower, such as lavender, rose, gardenia, or geranium, or a combination of multiple flowers.
These fragrances are particularly suitable for crossdressers and transgender women since they are the most feminine of fragrances. Wear a floral perfume when you want to express your soft, romantic side.
Examples of floral perfumes include:
- Daisy by Marc Jacobs
- Estée Lauder White Linen
- Dior J’Adore
- Stella by Stella McCartney
- Kenzo Flower by Kenzo
- L‘Air du Temps by Nina Ricci
Fruity Perfumes
Fruity perfumes contain citrus scents, such as lemon, grapefruit, strawberry, peach, kiwi, etc.
With their fresh and youthful character, fruity perfumes are an excellent choice when you desire to feel confident and energetic.
Examples of fruity perfumes include:
- L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani
- Cartier Eau de Cartier
- Sun Flowers by Elizabeth Arden
- Beautiful Sheer by Estée Lauder
- DKNY by Donna Karan
- Emporio White by Giorgio Armani
Fresh Perfumes
Fresh perfumes, also known as green scents, are light and airy, evoking notes of grass, green leaves, and the ocean.
Energetic and rejuvenating, fresh perfumes are perfect for when you’re “en femme” as they elevate your mood and create a comforting atmosphere.
Examples of fresh perfumes include:
- J.Lo Glow by Jennifer Lopez
- Fifth Avenue by Elizabeth Arden
- Diorissimo, Dune by Christian Dior
- Bond No. 9
- Safari by Ralph Lauren
Oriental Perfumes
Oriental perfumes emanate a rich and dramatic aura, blending scents of spices, musk, vanilla, and intense flowers.
These perfumes exude a sexy and sophisticated allure. Just remember to opt for a lighter fragrance, as oriental perfumes can lean towards the masculine side.
Examples of oriental perfumes include
- Dior Addict
- Lancome Attraction
- Opium by Yves Saint Laurent
- Samsara by Guerlain
- Lalique Perfume by Lalique
- Sun Moon & Stars by Karl Lagerfeld
Woody Perfumes
Woody perfumes are heavy and dramatic and incorporate scents like sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar.
While woody perfumes are sensual and exotic, they lean more towards the masculine spectrum of fragrances. Hence, you may want to avoid this particular type.
Examples of woody perfumes include:
- Passion by Elizabeth Taylor
- Escada by Escada
- Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker
- Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan
- Habanita by Molinard
- Givenchy Organza

Hi
One perfume I use more than any other is Cabotine by Gres. It comes in a variety of scents but they are all feminine and warm up quickly on your skin
I’ve had lots of perfume in the past but mostly these days I use either Ghost or Ghost deep night. Both are a fresh fragrance and last for a while
VS Love Spell – Untamed. Bought it by mistake for my wife. She didn’t like it on her, but loved it on me. So that’s what I’ve been wearing this winter.
I like to wear something that’s maybe not as well known? I love Heavenly by Victoria’s Secret.

I try to wear perfume every day. My two favorites are White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor and Red Door by Elizabeth Arden.
White Diamonds is now only available in eau de toilette. So, I wear this on my clothes to prevent body heat from evaporating the scent away too quickly. Initially I did not like Red Door as it is a rather strong scent for an eau de toilette. However, I eventually discovered that this scent blends wonderfully with my body’s chemistry and my body heat evaporates just enough of the scent to balance everything out. (Tip: If you have to go stealth, try wearing a little musk cologne in addition to your perfume. The trick is placement. Add a little perfume to your wrists to give yourself a delightful moment of femininity. And add a small amount of musk to the front of your shirt about the third button down from the collar. Also, on the outside hem of your shirt sleeves or on the elbow. This masks the scent of your perfume to everyone else yet allows you to enjoy something pretty and pleasing.)
I love Lavender it is what I love to ware and I love to bath in Lavender bubble bath a strong sent of Lavender is my Favorite :).
Bijan is my favourite, sadly I can’t buy it where I live.
My mom bought me Shalimar and channel no 5 I love those
My favourite perfume is opium. It is a sweet feminine fragrance. There is one thing though, although similar, fragrances will tend to smell a little different on others
