Here's my roundup of sexy fragrances to buy your loved one this Christmas.
Houbigant Paris - Quelques Fleurs L'Original. It's said that this is Dita Von Teese's perfume of choice, so there's no questioning its sexy credentials.
What's more, the bottle and packaging are truly lovely. This re-release of a previously well-established fragrance would be a stylish gift for even the most difficult to please.
A sexy fragrance list wouldn't be complete without mentioning at least one Chanel fragrance. For me it's Coco by Chanel. A year ago, when I started my perfume odyssey, I would almost certainly not have liked this. But having tried a lot of perfumes in the meantime, I've now come round to the magical qualities of Coco. The smell defies description. For me there's a butteriness to it that is smooth and luxurious.
The scent of the tuberose flower can be incredibly sexy. For the best of the best when it comes to tuberose fragrances, try Ormonde Jayne's Tiare. I don't (yet) own a bottle of this one, so here's a shot from Ormonde Jayne's website.
I find it impossible to stay away from tuberose when thinking about sexy fragrances. One that needs including on this sexy fragrance list is Miller Harris's Noix de Tubereuse. I've just made some delightful perfume trades with Carol from Waft and am now the happy owner of a bottle of this one.
I wasn't quite sure about Noix de Tubereuse when I first tried it back in April. It's a creamy blend of almonds and tuberose - well that's how it appears to me. The Miller Harris description doesn't feature almonds at all, but I'm not budging.

Lovely post. I love sexy scents, and both the Quelques Fleurs L'Original and the Noix de Tubereuse really appeal.

Hi MB - if you manage to try either of them let me know how you get on. It's tricky recommending sexy fragrances - but I think these are all goodies.
Coco is on my xmas list!
I didn't think I would ever go back to Coco, but I have been craving it for 3 weeks now. I haven't had a bottle in almost 20years.
I guess it's love!
Hi JoanElaine,
It's funny how a perfume can suddenly appeal again. I hope you do get a bottle of Coco for Christmas, it's a great fragrance.
I'm really desperate to try Quelques Fleurs L'original and have been for some time now, but I cannot find any stockists locally. I am tempted to take the risk and order online without smelling/testing on my skin first.

I feel very attracted toward Chinatown by Bond No.9. And I have to try Tiare. Beautiful post!
Hi Welsh Beauty Blog, Buying untested is always a tricky question. Have you tried asking one of the department stores, or even an online store to see if they will send you a free sample? Always worth a try.
Hi Vintage Lady,
I look forward to hearing your thoughts about Tiare - it's one of my favourites. Let me know...
There are no competitors for Coco. It's intoxicating :-)
Hope to own any one on your list, specially what is on the last photo. :)
