Choosing the right perfume is a key part of expressing yourself as a woman. Scent is strongly linked to emotions – and the right perfume can make you feel irresistibly feminine.
But how do you find that perfect feminizing scent? I’m glad you asked!
In this blog post, written specifically for crossdressers and transgender women, I’ll guide you through various perfume scents and the impressions they create.
By the end, you’ll be able to confidently pick a perfume that matches your unique style and enhances your 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

I have been using Ange ou Demon by Givenchy as an evening perfume, but since that ran out have bought Aromatics Elixir by Clinique as a daytime scent. It’s fresh and light.
One tip is to try the perfume on your skin and leave it for a while before buying as it “settles” to you. Often the smell on a pice of card is quite different to that on you!
Very true, Rachel! Thanks for posting this.
i love gucci by gucci, a touch of pink by lacoste and besotted by katie prce
Opium by Yves Saint Laurent is the most divine perfume. I simply love it.
My perfumes are Glow by J.Lo, Donna by Sergio Tacchini, Verveine, Evidence and Ode l’amour passionnement by Yves Rocher. That is what I have in my bathroom right now. I dont afford to use them everyday, only for special occasions cause they are so expensive.
i have always liked obession cline
Well first I must thank you and all the girls on this path. I am 66 years old and have been down the roads that have been not so friendly with gay men that cross dress. I love to wear a perfume that I do not know is in the USA but it is called ex’cla-ma’tion. and I just love how it makes me feel fem. Now If I want to feel frisky I wear the cheap perfume called Navy.

I wear several different scents, not all at the same time of course.
Cherry Vanilla is a favorite…Love its fragrance.
Of course, Chanel No. 5 I love because it was Marilyn’s favorite.
And, “Chance”. by Chanel…wow!
Lastly, “Tresor”, a very warm fragrance. I have a small bottle and wear it only once in a while.
Just remember, a little fragrance goes a long way.
Byeee!

Until recently, I have an old favourite, Red Door by Elizabeth Arden, but recently some Prada – 4 little bottles of different fragrances.
You are right, perfume makes me feel more feminine.
I’m a Red Door girl also. Always makes me feel so feminine when I put it on.
