C for Women embraces the Clive Christian Perfume House accord of rose and jasmine absolute, yet here it is pushed to crescendo in union with violet and tuberose to reveal a perfume brimming with voluptuousness and dangerous pleasure. Top notes: bergamot, coriander seed, lie de vin (cognac oil, wine sediment), narcisse (daffodil), geranium, mandarin, petitgrain, tagete (marigold). Heart notes: tuberose, jasmine, rose, violet, osmanthus (apricot aroma), ylang-ylang (placed on the beds of newlyweds in Indonesia), orange flower, cistus (rock rose labdanum resin/gum with a smoky, marshy scent).
Base notes: amber, vetiver (thin aromatic roots), vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, musk.

This is my ultimate favorite perfume. My husband gave it to me for Valentine's Day. I smelled it and vowed to not spend so much on perfume with that said, It is tied for the 2nd Most exspensive bottle I own. $400 a bottle. I now don't care about cost when it comes to fragrance. I just let my nose choose.
2. Clive Christian X
The "X" factor—a sexy, modern fragrance infused with the dynamic, captivating scent of Egyptian jasmine. A chypre-fruity fragrance. Top notes of peach, Sicilian mandarin, bergamot, rhubarb, and pineapple. Heart notes of Egyptian jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, and orris. Base notes of patchouli, cedar wood, vetiver, vanilla, and cashmere musk.
I got a tiny bottle as a gift from for my wedding. This one is the favorite of my husband but he does not know it. When I wear it he can't keep his hands off me. It is like having a love potion #9. Worth the $400 by far and away.
3. Love and Tears by By Kilian
Love and Tears by By Kilian is a Floral fragrance for women and men. Love and Tears was launched in 2010. Top notes are bergamot, petitgrain, lavender and galbanum; middle notes are jasmine, water jasmine, ylang-ylang, narcissus, orange blossom and lily-of-the-valley; base notes are cedar, styrax and oakmoss.
This is a $300 fancy bottle one time fee with a $175 refill. I absolutely love, love, love this scent. I wore this on my wedding day. I bought it for myself on an impulse buy at Saks after day drinks. That's the best way to get me to just spend!! The sales girl had me with refill half off!
4 Chanel Chance
Top Notes Grapefruit, Quince Middle Notes Hyacinth, Jasmine Base Notes
Amber, Cedar, Iris, White musk
This is the scent that got me my husband. If you asked him his fave he would say this one but it's really X. I was wearing it when we met. Every time I have it on he says, "I love Chanel." He loves it so much I have all the Chances but this is the one he really likes.
5. Estée Lauder Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia
The fragrance composition is based on two flowers that Estee Lauder appreciated most, gardenia and tuberose, surrounded by orange flower, jasmine and white lily. In the top notes are neroli, lilac, and rosewood, and the base is composed of carnation and vanilla and bourbon.
This is my spring go to fragrance. I always get a million compliments when I wear it and I feel like no one else knows about it. It's super affordable $175 for the large bottle.
This Top 5 list was the absolute hardest list I've ever made. I love every single bottle, and I have a story of when I've worn them, and why they are all special. With that said these are the bottles that were game changers in my collection.
