It’s been scientifically proven that when we inhale a scent it activates a part of our brain which can trigger specific memories. That’s exactly why we don’t recommend using your regular day-in-and-day-out fragrance on your wedding day. After all, do you really want to evoke the memory of your bus trip to work? Or running errands on the weekend? No. You want to start fresh and mark your special occasion with an equally special fragrance.
Whether you’re celebrating during a lavish evening ceremony or an intimate occasion by the beach, there’s a perfectly paired perfume tailored to your special day. We’ve even taken the aesthetic of the bottle into consideration. After all, it will be in the background of all your fabulous ‘getting ready’ photos.
So, as the final step as you get ready to tie the knot, here are eight perfumes that will forever evoke memories of one of the best days of your life.
Narciso Rodriguez Pure Music
Infused with white florals and warm cashmere, this feminine fragrance is both timeless and charming, just like the monochrome bottle it comes in. The perfect perfume for a daytime spring wedding.
$153, Adore Beauty
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Orange Soleia
If you’re heading on a sunny European holiday to tie the knot, may we suggest taking this fresh, sunny citrus-infused fragrance with you? With notes of bergamot, passiflora and ginger piccante, this is a fragrance that will linger from the ceremony to the dance floor.
$165, David Jones
Tiffany & Co. Sheer Eau De Toilette
Bright and sparkling like your first glass of champagne as a married woman, this blackcurrant and vert de mandarine fragrance has been crafted by the world-renowned perfumer, Daniel Andrier especially for Tiffany and Co. It’s best suited for a bride who loves tradition but wants to add their own edge.
$150, Sephora
Byredo Mojave Ghost
Mojave Ghost’s spicy, warm, and feminine notes will appeal to those who are torn somewhere between florals and woody notes. With notes of ambrette, magnolia and sandalwood, this fragrance offers a unique, alluring and delicate scent that lingers on the skin.
$341, MECCA
Maison Margiela Beach Walk
As its name suggests, this salty fragrance is the ideal option for a beachside wedding. With notes of bergamot, pink pepper, lemon and coconut milk, a spritz of this summer’s day-inspired fragrance will fill you with a calm stillness as you step out onto your sandy aisle.
$187, MECCA
Glasshouse Fragrances Kyoto in Bloom – Camellia & Lotus Eau de Parfum
For the strong and confident bride, Kyoto In Bloom is the perfect finishing touch to an intimate, evening celebration. With notes of lotus and amber, this fragrance has been inspired by Kyoto during the springtime. Better still? Tie your occasion together by burning the accompanying Glasshouse Fragrances Kyoto in Bloom – Camellia & Lotus Soy Candle ($49.95, Glasshouse Fragrances) as your guests arrive.

Vera Wang Signature
Though a Vera Wang wedding dress will set you back thousands, her musk, wood and floral nectar fragrance won’t. The perfume contains notes of gardenia, rose and iris, with a pared back bottle that reflects Vera’s design sensibility. Plus, hasn’t everyone wanted to say they wore Vera Wang on their wedding day?

Santa Maria Novella Fresia
For the minimalist bride, this violet and rose scent will please those who are after a fragrance that is both clean and fresh. With top notes of fresia accord, the flower associated with mystery and fascination with the unknown, it’s a fitting perfume to wear as you enter the next chapter of your life.
$198, Myer
Have you tried any of the above? What is your dream wedding day fragrance?
I could live at Libertine Parfumerie!
All these perfumes sound great
All of these perfume sound delicious.
I wish we could smell all of these through the screen. I need to check out Mohave Ghost in the flesh the next time I am in-store at Mecca. I have smelt Kyoto in Bloom – it’s lovely!
Yes sometimes perfumes smell so different once you try them. And also so different on others.
It inspires me to visit my local myer store
I have the Glasshouse Kyoto in bloom fragrance but I would recommend their Midnight in Milan fragrance more for a wedding. Kyoto is way too musky for a wedding in my opinion.
that was the one that appeals to me so it would be lovely to check both out -not that I am looking to get remarried -XX
Also that Guerlain bottle is so pretty 😍
Agreed and I love that it’s refillable 🙂
LAsting power is not good, ones I tried. And all have weird base . Bottles so pretty though
I don’t think I wore any perfume as it often gives me a headache and hayfever, you don’t want either on your wedding day.
Oooo gosh the Santa Fresia one and the Ghost one sound amazing!!
You really need something special for such a day!
I would got for your signature scent on your Wedding Day.
I don’t use perfume but I like the bottles
Yes I did try some. Kyoto is really nice. Do not like any of byredo. One of the narciso’s edp I like is poudree, not the one listed.
Guerlain and Byredo description of scent appeals to me the most.
What a lovely idea . I am well past this stage but is is a very romantic idea and would evoke lovely memories
I love the Guerlain bottle, I’d almost buy it just for that.
My eldest daughter is getting married in Spring so I’ll mention to her to check this article out!
The Guerlain fragrance is beautiful and I love the bottle, but the scent doesn’t seem to last long on me.
I can’t remember which scent I wore on my wedding day. If I had to guess it was probably Poeme or J’Adore. I haven’t tried many listed in this article.
I haven’t tried any of these, it might be time to renew our vows!
The original Tiffany & Co perfume is a classic- very floral and soft.
Oh interesting, I didn’t know Glasshouse made perfume
Same here.
Such great suggestions
This would be a hard choice for me, I would want something that lasts all day but isn’t overpowering. Maybe Si by Armani
A great idea – I wish I’d thought of having a different fragrance for my wedding day.
All of these are lovely!
I hate to say it, but I forget which perfume I wore when I got married!
I’ll be a guest at a wedding next month, but I probably won’t wear perfume as I really don’t want a migraine on my niece’s big day. She’s a Red Door fan, but I don’t know what she’ll wear on the day.
Ooh, I’d love to try the orange soda one!
Kyoto in bloom is such a gorgeous scent! I love the candles and hope to get the perfume soon – been dropping the hints to hubby for our anniversary, lol
Choose one you like and that suits you.
I like the Tiffany bottle.
Perfume is such a personal thing. Smells different on everyone. I would think a wedding day perfume needs to not be overpowering but perfect enough to make you feel beautiful. Some lovely perfumes listed here.
Ooh the bottles all look so gorgeous
Stunning bottles!
Some beautiful Fragrances just love Floral Perfumes.
I wore Estee Lauder, Pleasures from memory
I must those fragrances out.
Oh my, $341 is a bit pricey! Wonder if it’s worth it?
They all sound lovely.
Will keep a lookout for these in the future.
They all sound lovely but I’d have to try them first. I have no idea what perfume I wore on my wedding day – it was so long ago.
Vera Wang’s Signature is one I’d like to try. I like a rose scent
I feel like a wedding day isn’t the time to experiment with a new fragrance.
Lovely designs of bottles.
I love the Mojave Ghost perfume.
