I often get asked how we test beauty products at Glamour, and it’s genuinely one of my favourite parts of the job. We test properly over a few months (never just once and into a guide it goes), because it has to be something we’d actually recommend to our friends, colleagues, and of course our lovely readers. When it comes to fragrance, I’m especially fussy, so I’ve only included perfumes I truly rate – the long-lasting ones that stick around all day and night, the compliment-getters, and the bottles I’ve repurchased time and time again.

Why you can trust me:

The ultimate it-girl fragrance.

I’m slightly obsessed with perfume, my at-home collection is pretty impressive (or slightly problematic, if you ask my husband), and I love switching things up depending on my mood. So whether you’re after cosy vanilla, a fresh, clean skin scent, or a sexy woody number for date night, these are the ones I wear on rotation and would recommend to anyone.
