The Top Fragrance Trends of 2011

Healthy SELF, SELF Magazine

The holiday season always puts my senses into overload -- I love burning candles, baking cookies and using my most indulgent scents in the bath. Usually around this time I also start scoping out a new perfume to add to my wish list! Here is my roundup of some of the hottest fragrance trends of the moment:

Celebrity-inspired perfumes - This trend is just not going away! Celebs from Jennifer Aniston, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and even Justin Bieber have launched perfumes this year. These scents range from fresh and fruity (Taylor Swift) to clean and floral (Jennifer Aniston).

Enduring classics - Fragrances from Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Guerlain (remember Shalimar!) still remain extremely popular. These scents tend to be heavier than newer launches with bold floral and oriental notes but still strike a special place with many women.

Bold florals - Jasmine was predicted to be one of the hottest emerging notes of 2011 and bold florals really did steal the scene this year. These florals tend to be combined with juicy fruity notes like strawberry and cherry to add an element of freshness. Poppy by Coach is one of my personal favorite launches this year, and combines notes of jasmine, gardenia, rose, citrus and woods to create a fun and fashionable fragrance.

Scents good enough to eat - If perfume isn't really your thing, there are still plenty of ways to get your fragrance on! Fragrances for your home as well as body (think lotions, bubble bath and body wash) are great ways to add a little scent to your day. This time of year always brings out the most delicious of fragrances! I've seen everything from marshmallow, gingerbread and black cherry to cookie dough and even creme brulee! Yum! Food-inspired fragrances are a great low-calorie way to indulge.
