10 Fragrances Every Black Woman Should Have In Their Collection
By Kimberly Wilson · Updated March 18, 2023

A Black woman’s perfume collection speaks volumes about her personality. 

And while the true window to your soul may just be your signature fragrance, there are a few scents that are so classic, every Black woman must own it.

With National Fragrance Day — March 21st — right around the corner, we love an excuse to choose a new signature scent!  So if you’re starting from scratch, looking to try something zesty, taking a minimalist approach or completely overhauling your perfume collection, now is the perfect time to snag a new addition for your rotation.
