Read on for our unfiltered thoughts on these emotion-boosting perfumes.
Cosmic Power Eau de Parfum: Confidence
Notes: Bergamot, opulent rose,black pepper, vanilla, amber accord, and musk.
Review: Boost your confidence in a single spritz with Tilbury’s Cosmic Eau de Parfum. The notes are quite heady on their own, but blended together they offer a unique mix of notes that pair perfectly together. One spritz and I felt an instant pep in my step before my day at the office. While I wouldn’t wear this one in summer, the richness of this scent will feel like you’re sitting by the fireplace in winter.
More Sex Eau de Parfum: Sex Appeal
Notes: Juniper berry, black pepper oil, musk, sandalwood, leather, and amber
Review: There’s nothing like a sultry scent to get you and your partner in the mood. While you’d expect a perfume called ‘More Sex’ to be in your face, this one is actually more cloyingly flirty rather than overt. The black pepper and musk hit you at the beginning but we love how the leather and amber shine through later on. There’s something warm and inviting about the fragrance that leaves us wanting more.
Joyphoria Eau de Parfum: Euphoria
Notes: Coconut, neroli, ylang ylang, vanilla bean, musk, tuberose and jasmine.
My Verdict: Want to smell like the feeling of being nestled on the beach with your lover during a warm summer day? This scent will instantly transport you there. The coconut and neroli give sunshine in a bottle vibes that we always adore. The floral notes add a more sophisticated flair to this one that’s a bit more elevated than some other coconut scents we’ve tried. Grab this one if you’re seeking a vacation without actually going on a trip.
Magic Energy Eau de Parfum: Grounded
Notes: Palo santo, frankincense, bergamot, myrtle,cypress, cashmere wood and jasmine sambac.
Review: Take a leisurely walk in the woods with this perfume that instantly brings you back down earth. For times when you’re going, go, go and need something to ground you, this perfume is the one to reach for. Definitely the lightest of the bunch, but also I noticed the most impact on my mood with this one. The palo santo and frankincense stood out to me most—and helped me find my center.
Calm Bliss Eau de Parfum: Sleep and relaxation
Notes:Lavandin, orange flower absolute, bergamot, neroli oil, tonka bean, white musk and iris.
Review: I’m not usually an aquatic scent girlie, but this one was my absolute favorite. The serene scent transported me to the most tranquil beach with crashing waves in a mere moment. I love the orange flower and lavandin in this perfume as it makes me feel relaxed every time I sniff my wrist. If you’re not a fan of Neroli I would skip this one as it’s definitely the most prominent note.
Love Frequency Eau de Parfum: Self-Love and Romantic Vibes
Notes:Turkish rose, pink pepper, saffron, musk, cashmere wood and patchouli.
Review: I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t this. This sweet yet floral perfume was a bit off-putting at first, but the more I smelled it the more I wanted to spray. Reminiscent of a floral chocolate candy, this perfume smells ultra-saccharine upon first whiff, but gets more soft and powdery as it dries down. Not sure I would categorize it as romantic, but I do really enjoy the scent and would definitely add it to my collection.
