If you want to smell expensive and you don't want to smell like you're trying to smell expensive, here four great options for you. First is 001 man by Loewe. To me, this is a beautiful, woody, powdery citrus fragrance. The image I have in my head of this fragrance is leaving your really rich friends house and you look to the person you came with and you're like, what was that smell? It smells so good, but I can't put my finger on it. That's what this is. It just smells clean and like there's something there, but you just can't really place it. Next is Jo Malone Vetiver & Golden Vanilla. This reminds me a lot of the Aesop fragrances that are a lot more natural with their scents and their notes. They feel very earthy and the type person who would wear this is very intentional with what they wear, but once they have their collection, they kind of just put on whatever they're feeling like. Next is Orphéon by Diptyque and even though this is inspired by a bar in Paris, it is probably one of the most polished, sophisticated fragrances I've ever smelled. You get this blend of woods like cypress and oakmoss with a juniper berry that almost feels sharp and powdery at the same time and it just evokes this clean cut and put together energy that I really, really love. And then last is another 13 by 17. And even though this is a skin scent, it does have this quality that kind of reminds me of a luxury hotel. There's also this human warmth to it and this slightly sweet pear note in the opening. I think it blends together really well and it feels really high end without being in your face. I think it's perfect for this category.
