The best fragrances everyone should have, from the fragrance consultant

• I worked as a fragrance consultant at Ulta for two years, so I know a thing or two about fragrance.
• I think everyone needs a fresh, aquatic and citrus scent in their collection.
• I like to look for a warm, fall scent when the weather cools down.

I have worked at Ulta as a fragrance consultant for over two years. In my role, I introduced customers to new scents, dupe-friendly fragrances, found updated versions of nostalgic fragrances, and more.

Over the course of my shifts, I’ve tested every scent that Ulta carries multiple times—I’ve spent so much time around the scent that it would give most people headaches. But in doing so, I gained a lot of perfume-specific knowledge and built my own stash.
