Wedding Day Fragrances That Will Have Your S.O. Falling in Love All Over Again
You’ve likely spent the larger part of your planning processes mulling over what you’ll look like on your big day. But, have you given any thought as to what you’d like to smell like?! LOL, but seriously, you need to pick a scent for your wedding. Scent is the strongest sense tied to memory, so it’s kind of an important decision. Why can’t you just wear your signature scent that you wear every day? Well, for the same reason you probably aren’t going to wear a dress that you’d wear every day or style your hair or makeup the same way. Babe, it’s your wedding day…it’s special! And we get it, perfume isn’t cheap, so why invest in an entire bottle for one day? It’s not just for that one day, it’s for every special day (happily) ever after. Break it out for anniversaries, birthdays, and other milestones you reach as a couple along the way. A spritz for when they carry you over the threshold of your first home, a spritz in your hospital “baby’s coming” go bag for good luck, and a spritz for every other exciting moment to come. And from all of us at SMP, we wish you a full life with your soon-to-be hubby or wife and an empty wedding day perfume bottle to show for it. Now let’s find you a scent, shall we?

Scents are sooooo personal! There are four basic scent families that all perfumes stem from: Floral, Fresh, Woody, and Amber. But most perfumes are a mixture of all of the above, so to keep things simple, we focused on the top two scent notes for each of these romantic perfumes that will have your S.O. falling in love with you all over again.
Let’s start with this category because nothing says wedding more than a floral perfume. Sweet, fragrant, and rich at the same time. Romance and flowers go hand-in-hand, so you really can’t go wrong with one of these floral-leaning scents.

More musky than your average floral perfume, this is the perfect scent for the bride who normally steers more toward deep, spicy perfumes but wants something with more floral notes for their big day. The warm pear accents also make this a good floral scent for fall or winter weddings.

With notes of Magnolia, Iris, and Jasmine this floral scent is full-bodied and has warm woody undertones. Though, the crisp citrus finish still leaves it feeling fresh and won’t weigh you down.

This perfume is all about roses. So, if you’re a rose girl, this one is for you. Plus how cute will this gorgeous bottle look in your getting-ready photos?!
There is something universally appealing about citrus notes and the light scent of sea spray. If you’re not usually into perfume or are sensitive to floral-heavy scents, a fresh, fruity scent may be just what you’re looking for.

Don’t let its unassuming bottle fool you, this little fragrance packs a punch (in a good way). As far as fruity perfumes go, this citrus-centric perfume also features strong white floral notes that give it a bit of an edge. We also love that Le Labo will add your name to the bottle…

A favorite of fragrance-files everywhere, this classic has since gone viral on TikTok, and for good reason. Its rich palette of woody notes and spicy amber are mellow and sensual–the perfect counter to those wedding day nerves.

Then, of course, there’s always Chanel No. 5 If you simply can’t decide. She’s a classic and a guaranteed home run. Technically this classic is considered a woody scent, but its clean powdery finish sets it apart.
