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 like Pink Sugar by Aqualina. When I wear Pink Sugar I get lots of hot male attention and the scent makes me feel very girly.
My all time favorite is Poem, I also like Beautiful where I can layer my fragrance. I find perfume intoxicating.
My favorite is VS Bombshell. A nice fruity light scent that is heavenly to me.
a girl came in to the shop i was working in & i was knocked out by her perfume so had to ask her , she told me it was armani code, it has now taken over from givenchy as my favourite , try it , you`ll like it xxx
My favorite by far – and I love it! – is the original formulation of Estee Lauder’s “Beautiful.” I was lucky to find any a few years ago, and haven’t found it in recent years. There were a couple of times when I ordered “Beautiful” in ads that claimed it was the original, but it wasn’t. I’m not sure how to describe the fragrance, but to me it is very feminine.
My favorite perfume is a popular one that has been around for quite a while now but I just can’t get enough of it still. Britney Spears, “curious”. I love it still and all of my female friends do as well. There are a few others by Paris Hilton and Thierry Mugler “Angel” that are very feminine.
I would be interested to hear from others. I love Jo Malone the lighter herbal and floral ones, and Wood Sage and Sea Salt when I am feeling a bit more like a man (I don’t fight it, occasionally I feel butch). But lately I have really loved a simple light and very feminine scent; Amazing Grace by Philosophy. Makes me feel like I am just gliding when I wear it, which is about every day now.
No question that the Sent is key to the “Final Touch” in dressing for public. I have a restaurant I frequent. I sit at the same servers station every week…She says she knows when I am there , because the sent of the perfume!! Inexpensive; AVON ‘s “Little Red & Little Black Dress”. try it you’ll love it.
