A Chemist Warehouse employee has revealed the top three must-have fragrances she always adds to her shopping cart.
Jess, a retail manager from Melbourne, has worked for the chemist chain for almost 14 years so she’s been spoiled for choice with the hundreds of fragrances she samples in store.
‘I’ve tried many fragrances at Chemist Warehouse… and I’m someone who loves her fragrances but I am also extremely picky,’ she said.
‘These are the three fragrances I have on repeat.’
One of her ‘all-time favourite’ scents is the Oscar De La Renta Alibi Eau de Parfum ($49.99 for a 100mL bottle).
‘I feel like it’s more of a nighttime or winter scent,’ she said.
‘It’s quite sweet, it’s a little bit powdery, it has notes of mandarin, vanilla, orchid and praline – very sophisticated, beautiful.’
The scent has been given a near-perfect 4.8 out of 5 stars, with shoppers describing it as a ‘gorgeous’, ‘sexy’ and ‘honestly exclusive’ fragrance to wear.
