Black Girls Smell Good Has the Best Fragrance Recommendations, Heres a Few You Should Try!
“being told that I smell good is easily one of the best compliments someone can give to me”
Smelling good has always been apart of my personal care routine, I was introduced to body mists and perfumes at a pretty young age. I remember my grandmother having a dresser full of different fragrances, they all had fancy looking bottles with strong aromas that made me think of grown up stuff and big church hats. She taught me the importance of looking good and smelling better!
Ive recently started following a new account on twitter an tiktok and obsessed isn’t really even the word. Black Girls Smell Good is “a community of fragrance obsessed Black girls” created and ran by Maiya Gant, who I just knows smells like sugar, spice and everything nice! Her smooth voice is what draws you in but its the knowledge of fragrance and the tips she shares on how to wear them that gets you hooked.
Ive chosen to share a few scent combinations courtesy of Maiya that I know would be perfect for anyone looking to update their fall fragrance routine with something sweet, sexy and warm, check them out!

Niveas Vanilla & Almond Oil lotion is a great pair with Tom Fords Lost Cherry Perfume, according to Maiya “Cherries and almonds are basically cousins”, she explains in one of her video about pairing scents. She also tells us how layering scents starts in the shower, so a nice way to enhance the longevity aroma of a fragrance is to combine it with a body wash or body butter that shares similar notes!

Bath & Body Works Lavender + Vanilla Body Wash
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Spraying on a bit of perfume before bed has started being a regular thing for me and I can honestly say, I love it. Some fragrances like YSL Libre have deep warm notes of vanilla and lavender which are notoriously soothing scents, these notes are a wonderful addition to a relaxing body wash just before you hit the sheets as well. Maiya suggested in a recent video to read the backs of your bath products to determine what the main notes are and then pair them with fragrances you have with similar notes, For Libre in particular she suggested trying the Sleep line from Bath and Body Works for a warm and relaxed experience!
A reinvention of the floral perfume, YSL Libre combines lavender essence from France with the sensuality of Moroccan orange blossom, for a unique long-lasting floral fusion complemented by a daring note of musk accord.
Key Notes
Top - lavender essence
Middle - orange blossom
Base - musk accord
