What this article covers:White Orchid Espresso is one of our most distinctive creations, blending the delicate beauty of white orchids with the bold richness of coffee and coconut. This isn't your typical floral fragrance – it's floral with a twist.
The creamy coconut adds warmth, while the coffee and milk foam provide an unexpected depth, creating a scent that's both intriguing and inviting. Fig and vanilla round out the fragrance, giving it a smooth, silky finish that lingers on the skin.
It's the perfect choice for those who want a floral perfume that stands out and evolves throughout the day, offering a mix of fresh, gourmand, and woody notes. Plus, if you like vanilla, it stands out as one of our best vanilla perfumes.
Tallulah's Camellia is a refined and sophisticated fragrance that captures the soft elegance of the camellia flower. This scent is a gentle floral, perfect for those who appreciate subtle, yet captivating fragrances.

Accents of bluebell, white tea, and blond woods add a fresh and slightly earthy undertone, making this fragrance versatile for any occasion. It's designed to be genderless, so anyone who enjoys a graceful floral with a hint of depth will find Tallulah's Camellia to be a wonderful choice.
Atropa Belladonna is a truly captivating fragrance for those who love a bit of mystery in their scent. Named after the infamous nightshade plant, it's an intoxicating blend of dark florals that immediately catches your attention.
Jasmine and narcissus bring a heady floral depth, while cassis adds a touch of berry sweetness. As the fragrance develops, warm notes of vanilla and patchouli come through, adding richness and allure.
The sandalwood base note gives it an earthy, grounding finish. It's seductive and bold, making it perfect for evening wear or when you want to make a statement. Ideal for those who enjoy deep, mysterious scents with a sophisticated edge.
Amber Rose is a romantic and luxurious blend of decadent May rose, white amber, and the sweetness of caramel. This fragrance offers a modern twist on the classic rose scent, making it perfect for those who appreciate timeless florals with a bit of depth.
The rose is soft and delicate, while the amber brings warmth and a touch of creaminess. The hint of caramel adds a gourmand element that feels rich and inviting without being overpowering.
It's an ideal scent for both day and night, offering a versatile floral experience that feels both classic and contemporary. This fragrance is perfect for anyone seeking a blend of romance and sophistication in a bottle.
Scarlet Lily is an unapologetically bold fragrance that celebrates the dramatic beauty of the lily. This scent captures the essence of the flower's striking presence, with big blooms of Scarlet Ariadne lily taking center stage.
It's a powerful floral that's softened by the addition of lotus blossom and ylang ylang, which add a touch of sweetness and warmth. The underlying notes of amber give it a rich, slightly spicy depth, making it both opulent and approachable.
It's perfect for those who want a floral fragrance with a bit of attitude, balancing boldness with elegance. Ideal for making a statement, whether during the day or in the evening.
Absolutely! Floral perfumes can be worn year-round. In fact, they're incredibly versatile. Lighter florals like rose and camellia are perfect for spring and summer, while deeper florals with spicy or woody undertones, like lily and orchid, can add warmth and depth in the cooler months.
The key is to find a floral fragrance that resonates with you, no matter the season.
Layering floral perfumes allows you to create a personalized scent that's completely unique to you. Here are some tips to help you get started:
Choose a fragrance that will act as the foundation of your layered scent. This should be a perfume you love and feel comfortable wearing as a standalone.
Popular choices include soft rose, jasmine, or other classic florals. The base note will provide the primary aroma that the other layers will enhance.
Once you've established your base, select a complementary fragrance to add depth. Notes like amber, musk, or sandalwood work well to ground the floral scent, giving it a more sophisticated and complex profile.
This is where you can start to shape your scent into something more personal and memorable.
If you enjoy a touch of sweetness in your perfumes, try layering your floral base with gourmand notes like vanilla, caramel, or even a light fruit scent.
These can soften the florals and add a delicious, inviting warmth to your fragrance. The result can be perfect for both daytime and evening wear.
For those who like a bit of spice, adding a fragrance with spicy notes like cinnamon, clove, or pepper can create an exciting contrast with your floral base.
This combination can add intrigue and a touch of boldness to your scent, making it perfect for special occasions or when you want to stand out.
When layering perfumes, balance is key. Be careful not to overwhelm the senses by combining too many strong scents. Start with lighter applications of each fragrance and adjust as needed until you find the perfect balance that feels right for you.
Layering doesn't just mean mixing scents in the air. Apply the base fragrance to your pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears), and then add your second scent on top or in other areas like the inner elbows or collarbones.
This can help the layers develop gradually and keep your scent interesting throughout the day.
There's no right or wrong way to layer perfumes, so have fun with it! Trust your instincts, experiment with different combinations, and find what feels best for you. The beauty of layering is that it allows you to create a scent that's entirely your own.
Floral perfumes offer a world of possibilities, from delicate and subtle to bold and intriguing. Each of the fragrances we've explored brings something unique to the table.
At Shay & Blue, we believe in creating genderless perfumes that speak to every personality and occasion. Ready to find your perfect floral fragrance? Explore our collection today and let your next scent make a statement.
