9. Diptyque Olene Eau de Toilette
Review
Olene Eau de Toilette by Diptyque transports you to a blooming Venetian garden filled with intoxicating scents of spring.
A vibrant opening burst of narcissus and honeysuckle are soon overtaken by fragrant jasmine and wisteria. I especially enjoyed the subtle hints of green notes that creep in as it settles.

Spring and early summer are when Olene truly comes into its own, ideal for outdoor brunches or a stroll through the city.

10. Aerin Lauder Mediterranean Honeysuckle Tiare Eau de Parfum

Ingrid’s Top Pick
Juliette Has A Gun Lust for Sun
My top pick is Juliette Has A Gun Lust for Sun, as the white floral notes of gardenia and freesia work beautifully with the tropical coconut and ylang-ylang.
Conclusion
When you want a boost of carefree femininity, these are the best white floral perfumes, in my opinion, to do the trick! Each scent I have selected will have you basking in a bouquet of pretty flowers.
One thing to point out about white floral scents is their longevity. A true white floral scent may only last 3-4 hours before becoming a skin scent and needs to be reapplied.
However, floral perfumes that include sweeter or warmer notes, such as vanilla, amber, and musk, will usually last longer.
