Best Boozy Perfumes

 

 

We all know that fragrance contains alcohol, yet there is something especially appealing about the aromas of boozy perfumes that smell like rum, champagne, vodka and cognac that draw people closer. Whether they are spicy and warm or bubbly and effervescent, boozy perfumes suit any occasion. You should NEVER drink and drive, so spritz on our top picks.

Best Boozy Champagne Perfumes

Yvresse by Yves Saint Laurent

When Yves Saint Laurent was threatened by lawsuits from the French Champagne industry for naming his perfume Champagne in 1993, the fragrance was renamed. This is a clever play on the French word “ivresse” meaning “intoxication” …the kind which might be caused by drinking too much—you guessed it—champagne!  The true beauty of this fragrance lies at the heart, a distinct champagne blend that adds elegance to the celebration of fruity and floral notes. The peach is prominent giving a sense of a fizzy Bellini with a splash of sweet litchi liqueur. Indulge!

Key Scent Notes: peach, nectarine, apricot, litchi, rose, vanilla, styrax, cedar, musk, coconut, and vetiver

Demeter Champagne Brut

The term “Brut” in its name means “dry to very dry.” Demeter Champagne Brut is said to have been inspired by Dom Perignon which has a dry but somewhat sweet taste and sells for $185 + a bottle. Not in the budget? Spray on this a full-bodied fruity unisex fragrance and experience a bit of the bubbly for  much less.

Key Scent Notes: pineapple, apple, lemon

 Best Boozy Perfumes for Summer

Juliette Has A Gun Moscow Mule

A Moscow Mule is a vodka cocktail served in a hammered copper cup, and is especially popular during the summer. Juliette Has A Gun Moscow Mule is a refreshing fragrance, citrus, woody with a luscious lime note and a pop of ginger. There’s a crisp green. fruity vibe from the apple before the soft, skin-musk drydown. One of the best boozy perfumes if you are new to the category, since it is unisex and smells like joy in a copper topped bottle.

Key Scent Notes: Ginger, Lime, Bergamot: Apple Essence, Amber, Iso E Super Ambroxan©

Best Boozy Fragrances for Men

Caroline Herrera ch for Men

We think that Carolina Herrera ch for men is one smooth operator (lots of women wear it as well which is why it is one of the brand’s best sellers). This whiskey scent is discreet with a squeeze of citrus enhanced by spices and the sweetness of benzoin. Great longevity and well-suited for either office or evening wear.

Key Scent Notes Grapefruit whiskey. cardamom, leather, benzoin, tonka bean, wood.

Royall BayRhum 57

Many fragrance companies have been making masculine Bay Rum colognes since the 1950s, but their use dates first back to the mid-16th century, when Caribbean sailors would spray it on to mask unpleasant odors. Royall BayRhum 57 is classic and classy, especially for men those  want a masculine splash of OG Bay rum colognes, with a more gentlemanly, tropical aroma. Although there is no “rum” in bay rum, the scent of it is certainly here. If you like your colognes on the aromatic and spicy side, with cloves and a hint of musk. Give Royall BayRhum 57 a try or as a gift to the men in your life.

Key Scent Notes: clove, musk, carnation, woods

These Boozy Perfumes Get Compliments

Tom Ford Lost Cherry

If you like your drinks sweet and your perfume to be noticed, Tom Ford Lost Cherry is for you. The cheeky name is a hint of the sexy but oh so playful jus inside. Tom Ford Lost Cherry smells like of both the flesh of  cherries and cherry liqueur, ripe and dark. There is an almond nuttiness added that enhances the juicy heart.  Your sillage will be noticed wearing this crowd pleaser. In one word…voluptous.

Replica Jazz Club

Seductive and heady with rum, Replica Jazz Club takes you back in time to the speakeasies of the 1920s where socialites drank rum cocktails and smoked cigars  while lounging on leather sofas. The warm, smoky and spicy pink peppercorn mix with a touch of vanilla. Jazz Club smells expensive and many influencers call it the brand’s best.

Kilian Hennessy is known for some of the best boozy perfumes on the planet. After all, he is the heir to Hennessy cognac fortune. Angels’ Share by Kilian gets its name from a cognac making process. “La part des anges” are the fumes in oak barrels that rise as the cognac ages and the deep gold hue of the jus is from pure cognac essence and oil.
