Ooh-la-la: 40 Perfume Names That Are Simply Odor-able!

Ah—the allure, the whimsy, the magic of perfume—invisible to the eyes but so soothing to the senses. For thousands of years, civilizations have used the power of natural fragrances to speak to gods, heal sickness and simply fill a room with an air of enchantment. One spritz, and like Cleopatra, you may even turn a friend into a lover. Today, perfumes hold the prize as the ultimate fashion accessory—but while a trendy look may turn heads, the perfect scent will make a lasting impression (just like the memorable moniker you choose for a little one!). And these chic perfume names are for parents who want a little extra oomph for their new addition!

Just like babies, no two scents are completely alike. There are hundreds of different essential oils and fragrances that make the building blocks of perfumes, and each one reflects a unique preference, personality attribute or aesthetic. If summer or beach vibes are your thing, you might prefer something light, fruity and sprinkled with citrus. Warm, musty, woody fragrances, on the other hand, might remind you of a warm campfire. Naturally, it’ll be quite some time before baby finds their own signature scent, but there’s no harm in awakening their senses with a unique perfume name in the meantime.

To help you choose the right one, we’ve taken inspiration from the most popular perfumes on the market, and divided our selections into four scent families: citrus, gourmand, floral and woody. That way, if you’re more of the sweet or spicy type, you’ll have no problem perusing our favorite picks. From J’adore to Trésor, let the perfume bliss and baby-naming fun begin!
