Your feminine image is about more than just the way you look. It’s also about the way you speak, move, think, act, and smell. Yes, SMELL!
Scent is strongly linked to emotions – and the right perfume can make you feel irresistibly feminine.
How do you choose the perfect feminizing perfume? Here are the different types of perfume scents and the impressions they create:
Floral Perfumes
Floral perfumes are based on the scent of one flower (like lavender, rose, gardenia, or geranium) or a combination of several flowers.
Floral perfumes are great 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, and L‘Air du Temps by Nina Ricci.
Fruity Perfumes
Fruity perfumes contain citrus scents, such as lemon, grapefruit, strawberry, peach, kiwi, etc.
Fruity perfumes are fresh and youthful, making them a great choice for when you want 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, and Emporio White by Giorgio Armani.
Fresh Perfumes
Fresh perfumes (also called green scents) are light and airy. They are based on scents of grass, green leaves and the ocean.
Fresh perfumes are energetic and rejuvenating. They are great to wear when you are out “en femme” since they boost your mood and put other people at ease.
Examples of fresh perfumes include: J.Lo Glow by Jennifer Lopez, Fifth Avenue by Elizabeth Arden, Diorissimo, Dune by Christian Dior, Bond No. 9, and Safari by Ralph Lauren.
Oriental Perfumes
Oriental perfumes are rich and dramatic and smell of spices, musk, vanilla and heavy flowers.
Oriental perfumes have a sexy and sophisticated air. Just be sure to choose a light scent since oriental perfumes can lean toward the masculine side.
Examples of oriental perfumes include: Dior Addict, Lancome Attraction, Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, Samsara by Guerlain, Lalique Perfume by Lalique, and Sun Moon & Stars by Karl Lagerfeld.
Woody Perfumes
Woody perfumes are heavy and dramatic and are incorporate scents like sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar.
Woody perfumes are sensual and exotic, but they are the most masculine of all fragrances. Therefore, you may want to avoid this particular fragrance 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, and Givenchy Organza.

Bulgari Amethyst and Crystalline. Especially the latter. I feel instantly transformed in mind and spirit when it touches my skin. I love Sung – Pure Moment, but they discontinued it about 3 years ago and I miss it dearly. The newer version of it is completely different.
WOW!! You look great.
Holly,

“Curve” in the blue bottle!! It’s sexy, young, and just a little slutty.
I wear japanese cherry blossoms from Bath and Body Works, I find that it compliments me very much. I also work with someone who wears it, so it is a constant reminder that I am on the right path. I like to spray a little between my thighs so I smell just about perfect everywhere.

There are two perfumes that I love and wear most of the time. Both are florals and one is very difficult to find nowdays, that is “Forever Krystal” and the other is more readily available called “White Shoulders” which has the smell of gardenias, one of my favorite flowers. I am 67 years young and both seem to be appropriate for me and I often get compliments on them when I wear them.

Champs Elysee by Guerlain is a floral perfume and attracts compliments wherever I go, and many real women have asked me for the name. At the croquet club, in the supermarket etc
