Brand

In a market flooded with celebrity-inspired fragrances, the classics shine that much brighter.
5 timeless scents to rediscover:

Christian Dior Miss Dior
Launched by the house in 1947, this green floral blend boasts refreshing, woody and mossy notes, with hints of rose and gardenia to balance. (Price and availability vary, see Dior.com for details.)

Yves Saint Laurent Opium
The opulent, decadent character is immediately apparent from the mandarin and bergamot notes, deepened by myrrh, jasmine and carnation. Amber unlocks the final note. ($50-$175, YSLBeauteUS.com.)

CHANEL No. 5
It's estimated that a bottle of this iconic fragrance is sold every 55 seconds worldwide, making it one of the most recognizable (and adored) scents of all time. ($65-$1700, Chanel.com.)

Guerlain Shalimar
Inspired by the love of an Indian Emperor for his magnificent wife, Mumtaz-Mahal - for whom the Taj Mahal was built - Shalimar is named after "The Gardens of Shalimar," where their love grew. ($56-$70, Sephora.com.)

Lancôme Trésor
The elegance of rose, mugent and lilac and the sparkle of peach and apricot blossom are just a few notes that define this luminous fragrance. ($49-$89, Lancome-USA.com.)
