I love a trending perfume as much as the next person. From Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540 to Le Labo's Santal 33, there's no denying that these fragrances are popular for a reason. That being said, there's something so fun about discovering a more under-the-radar perfume brand, especially when people come up to you to ask you what you're wearing. If there's one slightly lesser-known brand that always earns me compliments, it's Floral Street. If you're yet to try any of Floral Street's fragrances, then I highly recommend you keep on scrolling, as I've rounded up the top scents from the brand. But first, let me enlighten you as to why these perfumes are top-tier.
Junior Beauty Editor Grace Lindsay is a big fan of Floral Street perfumes.
When Was Floral Street Founded?
This British brand was founded by Michelle Feeney in 2017. Feeney wanted sustainability and eco-responsibility to be at the brand's core, which is why the perfumes come in reusable, recyclable and biodegradable pulp packaging. The scents themselves are vegan and cruelty-free and are crafted from responsibly sourced ingredients.
What Do Floral Street Perfumes Smell Like?
Not only did the brand's more sustainable approach to fragrance interest me but after trying the perfumes myself, I was immediately impressed by the unique portfolio of scents. There are so many fun fragrance combinations from ylang ylang and espresso to rhubarb and sandalwood, and trust me when I say that every creation smells so expensive. I love
layering up different perfumes from the brand, and they always earn me compliments. In fact, just the other day I was wearing a Floral Street scent and someone in the office asked what perfume I had on as they loved it so much.
Do Floral Street Perfumes Last?
In my opinion, one of the things that makes a perfume smell expensive is its ability to linger on the skin. Floral Street's more intense perfumes such as Ylang Ylang Espresso and Black Lotus (read more on both below) have seriously impressive staying power, whereas the slightly subtler and fresher everyday scents might need to be reapplied before heading out in the evening. However, the great thing about this brand is that it does travel versions of the fragrances that you can pop in your bag and take on the go. Plus, the 50ml bottles are around £74, and whilst that's not cheap, it's nowhere near as expensive as some other luxury fragrances on the market, so I don't worry about spraying a little extra.
If you're keen to know my top picks from the brand, I've rounded up my favourite Floral Street perfumes below, so keep on scrolling to shop.
The Best Floral Street Perfumes to Try:
1. Floral Street Ylang Ylang Espresso
Key notes: Ylang ylang, espresso, jasmine and fresh cream.
First up is my most complimented fragrance from the brand, Ylang Ylang Espresso. If you're looking for a sexy evening scent, then this is the one for you. It features delicious gourmand notes of coffee and cream which are blended with sensual jasmine for a smooth, rich finish.
2. Floral Street x Van Gogh Museum Sweet Almond Blossom
Key notes: Apple blossom, pink pomelo, vanilla and sandalwood.
If you like a really sweet scent, you'll love this. One spray and you'll be transported to a field of apple blossom trees on a hot summer's day. It's fresh, it's fruity and it's downright delicious.
3. Floral Street Electric Rhubarb
Key notes: Rhubarb, island gardenia and sandalwood.
This is one of the brand's best-selling scents, and for good reason. It's another super-fresh option for every day with notes of zingy rhubarb but with more of a floral base than Sweet Almond Blossom, thanks to the addition of crisp island gardenia.
4. Floral Street Black Lotus
Key notes: Saffron, centifolia rose and papyrus.
In contrast to Electric Rhubarb, Black Lotus is a spicy, woody perfume that I often reach for in the autumn and winter months. This will definitely leave a lasting impression thanks to punchy saffron and papyrus notes.
5. Floral Street Sunflower Pop
Key notes: Mandarin, bergamot and bellini accord.
This was my first ever fragrance from the brand and it's still one of my favourites to this day. It's definitely more of a summer scent, with notes of fresh mandarin and sparkling bellini accord. Trust me when I say that one spray of this will put a spring in your step.
6. Floral Street Wonderland Peony
Key notes: Blackcurrant, candy floss and pink pepper.
Another best-selling scent from the brand is Wonderland Peony. This perfume is perfect for those who like something fruity and floral, thanks to notes of juicy blackcurrant and sugary candy floss.
7. Floral Street Arizona Bloom
Key notes: Coconut, jasmine and salted musks.
I reach for this scent every summer without fail. The only way to describe it is like a holiday in a bottle. Creamy coconut gives it that fresh opening, whilst jasmine and salted musks add a richer, captivating edge.
8. Floral Street Wild Vanilla Orchid
Key notes: Vanilla, jasmine and amber.
When I think of my favourite notes, I immediately think of vanilla, amber and jasmine, which are all included in Floral Street's Wild Vanilla Orchid. It's the cosiest, warmest, most comforting scent that I'll never get sick of.
