10 Rollerball Perfumes For a Midday Touch-Up

• Great to layer

• Doesn’t have strong projecton

Key notes: creamy coconut, creamy sandalwood, salted musk.

Sephora star rating: 4.6/5 stars

Our expert says: “Once coconut is included in a scent’s composition, I’m sold. Coconut can lean a little cheap and childish if it’s not supported by the right ingredients, but Nest’s Balinese Coconut hits all the right notes. Thanks to creamy sandalwood and salted musk, this oil takes you away from the pina colada-sipping tropical vacation and into a damp, tropical forest.” — Nerisha Penrose, ELLE.com beauty commerce editor

• Natural ingredients

• Can be too strong and masculine for some

Key notes: Brazilian orange, pink pepper, grapefruit, myrrh, nutmeg, bourbon geranium

Our expert says: “I love that this scent was thoughtfully made to inspire peace of mind and balance because the woodsy, earthy notes evoke the feeling of lounging in a tranquil spa. It’s both spicy and sparkling, thanks to a beautiful meld of pink pepper and grapefruit, and deepens with nutmeg and bourbon.” — NP

• Refreshing and not too overpowering

• Not long-lasting

Key notes: ear blossom, white gardenia, brown sugar, patchouli

It’s hard to be upset or down when wearing Gucci’s Flora Gorgeous Gardenia. Floral, feminine, and bright, this perfume feels like strolling through a botanical garden on a breezy spring morning. White gardenia, jasmine, and pear blossom offer a cheerful burst and sweetness.

• Great sillage

• Can be too smoky for some

Key notes: ambrette, Jamaican naseberry, sandalwood, crisp amber,

While inspired by its floral namesake, Byredo’s Mojave leans more earthy and mysterious than floral. It takes you for a ride, from smoky sandalwood and cedarwood to musky with ambrette and amber.

Neiman Marcus star rating: 4.6/5

A Neiman Marcus reviewer said: “Beautiful fragrance! Blends exquisitely with my body chemistry! Certainly highly recommended!”

• Tapered design makes it easier to hold/roll on

• Pricey

Key notes: ylang ylang, damascene rose, grasse jasmine

In J'adore, each floral star has its own spotlight, although it's jasmine that's the Beyoncé of the formula. The floral notes were carefully selected, from fruit and flirty ylang ylang to the tender sweetness of rose. J'adore's allure comes at the hands of jasmine, which ties together this seductive floral bouquet.

Key notes: coconut, eucalyptus (Coconut Wave); almond blossom, pistachio (Soft Vanilla); frozen lemon, lime zest (Crisp Citrus)

What exactly does a “summer Friday” smell like? According to the brand, it smells a lot like coconuts, pistachio, and lemons. Luckily, you don’t have to choose one scent—this trio gives you three different moods to choose from depending on what you want your “Friday” to feel like. Coconut Wave transports you to an idyllic seaside vacation; Soft Vanilla is reminiscent of a bakery shop, and Crisp Citrus evokes the feeling of a cool frozen lemon sorbet dripping down your hands on a warm summer day.

Revolve star rating: 4.7/5 stars

A Revolve reviewer said: “Okay, I will admit I bought these for the aesthetic. I’m really into neutrals, LOL, but I love the scents as well! (duh!). The vanilla is in my purse..so pretty and mature. Not too sweet! :)”

• Scent isn’t too overpowering

• Pricey for the size

Ulta star rating: 4.6/5 stars

An Ulta reviewer said: “It’s a beautiful light fragrance. I have to admit, when I first sprayed it, I really thought that I didn’t care for it. As it dried down, it became one of my all-time favorites. I am frequently asked what I’m wearing. Very light.”

• Long-lasting

• Can be too spicy for some

Key notes: musk

Musk may be the most immediate note you smell, but this fragrance oil also has a soft, fresh side. Thanks to its main oil concentration coming from jojoba oil, the scent kisses your skin and leaves an arousing fascination in its wake.
