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 love Guerlain’s Scents. Shalimar always caught my attention when wome wore it, and also Champs Elysee ans Samsara. The French are wonderful prefumiers. Since I am still in the closet. I only wear what my wife has on hand. Mostly Vanilla Fields and Ralph Lauren. i try to buy her as many different pretty floral scented bath product from Bath and Body Works and VS, and of course wear them as well.

Hi Lucille and all TG friends.
I discovered a fantastic eau de perfume last weekend at a taxfree store at Gatwick – a new fragrance from JLo – “live”. It has the lightness and the freshness that made me fell in love with it right away! Remember: Heavy perfumes are for old ladies and mums!
So girls – go ahead – try it! You’ll love it! Go for JLo!

Thank you Lucille with your tips
I am inspired to try some of the wonderful advice from everyone! I have always loved “White Shoulders” and “Anais Anais”.Now I feel I must try other scents, just thinking about it has me very excited! I use unscented deodorant and shaving gel,so I don’t detract from the intended purpose. I apply just a drop to each inner thigh and between my breasts,where body heat can work its magic! Thanks ever so much Lucille for providing the forum and fabulous topics, and to all your friends for the great responses! Best Wishes and Sweet Kisses Honey
Thanks to you girls, I’ve just learned about a ton of new perfumes! I always love the responses I get here.
Hi all!
Kate Beckman “Intimately” perfume is by far my fav!
It is light and very feminine! Also very affordable too!
XOXOXO =)
“Most woody perfumes should be avoided by TG girls.” Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker is listed as an example. I noticed that this perfume was also listed under Floral. Which one is it?
I have several samples that I use on special occasions. I keep using the ones I get compliments on. Usually, I don’t wear perfume because my best friend has a sensitivity to them. That and candles. And since she is one of my employers as well, I limit the times I wear boss repellent.
Sorry for the confusion, Melissa! Some perfume sites consider it a floral, some a woody. It’s technically a “floral woody.” I saw WEAR IT if it makes you feel feminine. 😉
