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

My favorite is Elige by Mary Kay,it has a floral fragrance and is good for this TG Huggs and Kisses
My current favorite fragrance is Spellbound by Estee Lauder… has a very feminine scent. Although, in the last year, instead of perfume I’ve gone for more of a “whole body” experience with lavender. Lavender, to ME personally, is the most feminine floral scent, but that’s my personal preference. I start off by taking a bubble bath with a lavender foaming milk bath, shave with lavender scented shaving cream, then shower with Organix lavender shampoo & conditioner, Suave lavender/vanilla scented body wash, use Herbal Essences “totally twisted” hair styling gel in their lavender/jade scent for curling my hair, and use Johnson & Johnson calming lavender body lotion all over. When I’m done, my whole “being” has this lovely fragrance and it’s like I fall under a “lavender spell”, since lavender is known for its calming effects… and I feel incredibly feminine. The scent lingers in my house afterward too. I try to use products that contain real lavender flower extract in them as much as possible, since lavender was “reported” to be a possible cause of gynecomastia (sp?) in males. I figured, “what the heck” maybe it’ll help my boobs get a little bigger too (doubtful). But the “whole body” scent experience feels wonderful to me! Try it if you haven’t already! 🙂
I love this idea, Jeanette!
I have always loved and have gotten many nice comments from Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor; or Chole. Both are floral scents and instantly remind me (and make me so confident) of who I am and that I know I’m on the right path. I known for years that my best scents are floral romantic.

Hi: I fell in love with “Princess” by Vera Wang.
Sun Flowers by Elizabeth Arden is one my my favorites! Keep the great articles and information coming!
I love wild fig and cassis by Jo Malone. I can wear it in boy mode or girl mode with equal satisfaction.
I’ve always liked windsong, but since my fav is Exclamation! Another jovan white musk. Interesting reading the entries, thanks for sharing….
I read every one on hear so far and you are the only one that mentioned Exclamation. You girls are missing out if you do not try it. It is great morning noon and night and all ages. Beside a little goes a very long way. The other thing that I have noticed is that many women have asked its name and now are wearing it. Have fun.
