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

Hello All,
Lucille, you are so right about perfumes and it’s funny but have only started wearing them in the last several months to add that extra touch of femmininity and I LOVE it! I would have to say that my all-time fave is Cinnabar by Estee Lauder which I think is more of an evening perfume. That’s followed by Musk by Jovan and then on to Sweet Honesty by Avon. I know what you’re thinking ladies. How can I go from a top shelf to the others? Well, I’m not a flashy girl and I do keep things within budget where perfumes are concerned. They make a nice femme touch but I do not want to overindulge. I just go with what smells nice at the moment and that’s how I take it.
I love to wear SweetPea body splash from Bath and Body Works…ohh I feel so pretty!
I have always loved Anais Anais and Georgio and sometimes I sneak a little of my wife’s Tresor
I like to wear Venice,Gorgio,tommygirl, which one really depneds on were I’m going that Day. either way I smell great to the Guy’s thier smiling ,and saying Hello’
J’Adore, Tabu and Tresor are all wonderful; I also enjoy Shania Twain’s Shania. I have not moved into the more expensive perfumes yet. I also enjoy essential oils like Ylang Ylang, Rose, Cinnamon, Lavender; just do need to be aware of lighter colored attire when using small dabs of oil for stain prevention and flying insects.
I use a lavender fragrance (floral) most times, and occassionaly an apple (friuty) scent at night.
