Just like lipstick shades, there are many choices when it comes to perfume. There are citrusy ones that remind you of being at the beach. Sweet vanilla notes that bring memories of freshly baked cookies. And the list goes on. There are also more musky scents that smell like spicy cinnamon and amber. They might even smell like men’s cologne but who says that fragrances can’t be unisex?
If you’re looking to explore the world of spicy perfumes, here are some you can test out. Pair it with a vampy red lip and you’re ready for date night.
