10 Best Sweet French Perfumes


Tis the season to have fine French perfumes.  Though its been years since I visited Paris, I’m excited with the possibility of having French perfumes.  Online shopping helps a lot.  Also, the local mall carries many French fragrances fans love.  While in Paris I visited the Eifel Tower, Notre Dame, and the Louvre Museum.  However, because of time, I wasn’t able to visit the fine, designer boutiques.

   There are hundreds of fragrances available to you.  Finding specific French perfumes, that may not be in the states is a problem.  Thankfully, there are alternatives for those who love floral scents, also fruity scents with a touch of mint.  Recently, I tried a fragrance line that has the most beautiful rosy, floral scent, that completely awoken my senses.

    Though I would have loved going to the French boutiques, and have a specially made box, wrapped with a ribbon, I can substitute those extra special gifts with a blossoming bottle of wish perfume.  Celine Dion’s Enchanting perfume is one of my favorite perfumes, however it isn’t available in popular stores.  Then I discovered many celebrity fragrances can be removed due to contracts with fragrance creators.  This is one of the reasons why French perfumes are desired because they are available in a wide range of retail stores, and it’s less difficult to purchase them.  This list of French perfumes has everything sweet, soft, rosy, floral, and strong.
