Moodeaux’s Worthy Supercharged Skinscent Grab-Then-Go Duo

A full-size bottle of the brand’s Worthy Supercharged SkinScent is presented in its Grab-Then-Go Stash Bag as a great little luxury.

Worthy‘s fragrance profile is described as a “bad*ss, sophisticated signature scent that reminds us how powerful we truly are.” Its notes include white tea, orange blossom, red rose, lavender and leafy greens. Its overall smell is grounded by dry musk, vanilla wood and amber.

One review of the Grab-Then-Go Duo wrote: “Worthy smells sooooo good, you don’t have to put much on and the scent lasts on my skin. I love it. The bag is a perfect companion: compact, sturdy and ideal for travel.”

Oakcha’s Sweet Addict

If you know someone who religiously wears Rihanna’s favorite scent Love, Don’t Be Shy by Kilian, Oakcha’s Sweet Addict is a similar scent that evokes all the luxury of the former without its $240 price tag.

This fragrance’s top notes include bergamot, neroli, pink pepper and rose. In addition, it smells like Egyptian jasmine, honeysuckle, marshmallow, orange blossom, and orris at “its heart.”

Scents like civet, labdanum cistus, vanilla and white musk help ground this fragrance at the root so your receiver will give off rich b*tch vibes as they parade in sweetness.

This brand’s fragrances are also handcrafted, clean, vegan, cruelty-free, and include no parabens or phthalates.

Chris Collins’ Sweet Taboo

Sweet Taboo is the ultimate gift for the boujie “It” girl who lives a life of luxury.

This gourmand scent includes notes of coffee, cardamom, cinnamon, cacao, tonka bean and vanilla. According to the Chris Collins site, the receiver of this high-end gift will feel confident, approachable and sensual when wearing this scent.
