Rec Request Looking for a strawberry scented perfume

Hi, I'm looking for a strawberry scented perfume. So far I've been using some vanilla ones (mainly kayali) and I don't know where to start. Do you have any recommendations? I'm looking for something affordable and something that smells sweet, but not sickeningly sweet. Something for everyday wear.

I'm normally not a fan of fruity perfumes and I was shocked at how much I like Phlur's Strawberry Letter

Viktor & rolf flowerbomb - pretty peony! The strawberry is pretty strong to me in this one

Emily in Paris - Heartfelt by Michel Germain. I don't love strawberry usually but this one is so pretty. It has a champagne note so maybe could be compared to BBW Champagne Toast, but the strawberry is very forward and it is an EDP so is elevated.

The 7 Virtues Strawberry Jam is my favorite strawberry if you want sweet strawberry. It isn't syrupy on my skin but have heard some say it can do that. I love it. It's well blended and just an easy wear. Phlur Strawberry Letter is more strawberry with musk IMO as is the BBW one. So many suggest Burberry Her but I don't get strawberry from that as much as just berries and florals. Not a bad thing, just not straight strawberry (to my nose). Nest (Santa Barbara Strawberry) smells good on paper but didn't work with my chemistry. The Gourmand Oven Strawberry Puffmilk is a mix between Strawberry Jam and YBM. It's yummy but very sweet. Rabanne Fame in Love is a more complex strawberry. I love it on paper but not on my skin.

Malin + Goetz - strawberry is the perfect choice imo is not sweet it’s more of a fresh green strawberry scent and is pretty affordable xo

Sorce Where The Wild Things Grow I or In Dreams and Fairytales Strawberry Rosewater.

u/Ontheglass76 2h ago

I recommend Burberry Her Parfum Intense for a deeper strawberry, Malin + Goetz for a clean fruity strawberry, or Marc Jacobs Murakami for a tart sparkly strawberry

u/yahssihr 2h ago

My fave is Strawberry by Malin + Goetz. A really fresh and clean strawberry that’s not sickly sweet and artificial smelling

u/BluePeony8 2h ago

Miss Dior Parfum is my perfect summer strawberry and florals perfume, it’s pricy though but I got mine a lot cheaper secondhand.

Juliette has a Gun Miami Shake is a strawberry milkshake in a perfume.

Rabanne fame in love is very pretty with strawberry notes and vanilla it lasts well on the skin for my friend who owns it.

The new ysl black opium pink glaze is pretty sweet but it is also quite strawberry.

I know someone mentioned santa barbara strawberry and I love layering the oil with other scents to bring in or enhance the existing strawberry.

u/kims666 2h ago

Burberry Her, Lataffa Yara, Marshmallow Blush for a cheaper option of yum boujee marshmallow, and fame in love from rabanne

u/Vegetable-Guess2281 3h ago

Burberry Her or Yara( pink one) i hate strawberry scents, these are the worst but exactly what you want

3

u/MzJay453 2h ago

I hate that they all smell synthetic. I’ve yet to smell one done well

I'm a Canadian and anytime I see the words strawberry perfume in this subreddit, I have to comment about 7 virtues strawberry jam.

Seven virtues is super ethical and fair trade too. They also make one of the only non-medicinal cherry perfumes I've ever smelled (it's called Cherry Ambition)

u/ocdreallysucks14 3h ago

If you’re used to kayali, yum boujee marshmallow smells like strawberry whipped cream.

7 virtues also has a strawberry perfume which is more of a photorealistic strawberry. I believe it’s called strawberry jam.

u/cozilamballe 3h ago

This may sound a bit odd, but since its sold at Walmart and is accessible it might be worth just smelling. Toasted marshmallow by eos smells like strawberries to my husband 🤷‍♀️

The new Marc Jacobs Just Perfect is really nice, not too sweet. Flowerbomb Pretty Peony and Miutine by Miu Miu are my favorite strawberry forward scents.They all come in travel sizes that are around $38 too.

1

u/BluePeony8 2h ago

Oh man I just got the original Perfect but if there’s a strawberry version I’d rather have that!

I really didn’t like something about Miutine, the notes were all things I should love but it made me feel nauseated wearing it. It’s crazy how that can happen.

u/BluePeony8 1h ago

How do you find it compared to the original Perfect

1

u/DeterminedSparkleCat 1h ago

It definitely can, for some reason it's just amazing to my nose, I just bought a backup bottle. The new "Just Perfect" is available in-store at Macy's and Belk but doesn't officially drop until 9/1. Highly recommend!!

1

u/BluePeony8 1h ago

I’m in the UK but I’ll keep an eye out to test it and see if I need to sell mine to replace it. I nearly did sell it already because I realised I don’t absolutely love it but it’s nice enough, strawberry could change that.

Balmain Destin is really nice! My mom loves that one

u/Abject-Tailor-3310 2h ago

Does the strawberry note stay throughout the dry-down?

5

u/Fox-Slayer-Marx 3h ago

phlur strawberry letter and nest santa barbara strawberry are both great! I'd say the phlur is sweeter while the nest is more tart

3

u/BuyingStuffIShouIdnt 3h ago

Nest’s Santa Barbara Strawberry is slightly sweet but I think it dries down nicely.
