Favorite Perfumes of Generation Z | Glamor United Kingdom

Ask anyone to describe a millennial and they’ll all say the same thing: avocado on toast, plant mums obsessed with impostor syndrome and side parting (and if it’s between September and December, probably a pumpkin and spice latte too).

When it comes to beauty preferences, millennials would be just as predictable. Makeup is all about full coverage foundation, contouring, and powerful eyebrows. Skin care consists of a ten-step routine supplemented with many self-tanners.

“They are also looking for brands that are independent and aligned with their personal values ​​and ethics,” she notes. “They choose Floral Street fragrances because we are sustainable and led by our founders, delivering ‘clean’ fragrances with ingredients traceable from source to fragrance.”

That’s not to say that Zoomers aren’t interested in big, blockbuster fragrances either. Online retailer Look Fantastic lists Carolina Herrera Good Girl as good as Jimmy Choo Flash among its best-selling perfumes for the population, both appreciated for their sensual and rich jasmine notes.
