Of course, it is not the only thing the show is known for. Sex and the City showcased the beauty of friendship. As Samantha Jones would say, “Men, babies, it doesn’t matter. We’re soulmates.” Gone are the days when the concept of dates is exclusive for couples—even better, it can be enjoyed with the company of one’s friend group, too.
So whether you are the Carrie Bradshaw, Samantha Jones, Miranda Hobbes, or Charlotte York of your circle, we listed the best fragrances and arm candy combinations that can help you embrace your inner Sex and the City character on your next night out.
Carrie Bradshaw
Imagine this: You’re getting ready for a girl’s night—no space for headaches caused by your life’s Mr. Big or Aidan Shaw. As for the wardrobe’s motif? Bradshaw’s signature high-low dressing. It’s an easy decision to opt for a sultry slip-on dress and classic pumps. Meanwhile, the Fendi Baguette easily stands out as the perfect arm candy to carry. Apart from its unique shape and vibrant designs, it captures the character’s whimsical and playful nature.
And just before you leave, don’t forget to pick the right fragrance to complete the experience. Jo Malone London Wood Sage & Sea Salt is one scent that encapsulates the true Bradshaw spirit. Spray once and it will envelop its wearer with notes of ambrette seeds, sea salt, and sage for a scent that is lively, spirited, and totally joyful.
Samantha Jones
You might be perceived as fearless, confident, and unapologetic. But when it comes to your friends, you’re not afraid to reveal your soft spot. It’s a sentiment that reflects your wardrobe choices too: maximalism meets sartorialism. It comes as no surprise that an Hermès Birkin Bag would make the perfect choice as an arm candy. Besides, it perfectly aligns with Jones’ taste, personality, and ability to command attention wherever she goes.
As for the fragrance? Tom Ford Black Orchid makes a perfect choice to evoke her powerhouse energy. With notes of black truffle, woody patchouli, and creamy vanilla, this long-lasting spritz renders a trail of a pure, sensual, and elegant scent that is just so Samantha Jones. Wear it once and see how it effortlessly earns you compliments.
Miranda Hobbes
You are strong, independent, and career-driven, but deep down inside, you know you are a lover girl. A coordinated blazer might be a signature style, but a day-to-night little black dress is definitely your take on a girl’s night out wardrobe. As for the perfect handbag? Opt for the Longchamp Le Pliage Tote. It’s a pick that reflects Miranda’s practical and no-nonsense personality. Moreover, it represents her need for a reliable bag that can keep up with her busy lifestyle.
Before you step out of the car, spritz on Aesop Eidesis Eau de Parfum. It is the perfect scent for anyone who’s looking to channel her personality without overpowering spiciness. It features a unique blend of black pepper, frankincense, and sandalwood that speaks of her down-to-earth yet fearless spirit. It’s woody, spicy, ambery, the kind of scent you’d want to wear from day to night.
Charlotte York
Your friends easily describe you as someone who is empathetic, sensible, and kind. However, one trait that is truly admirable about you is that you are true to yourself—the exact reason why you want your wardrobe to exude timeless elegance. Every night out serves as a pass card for you to exhibit your penchant for maxi sheer dresses. As for the York-approved arm candy? A Lady Dior Bag. It perfectly embodies her romantic nature and belief in the power of traditional femininity.
Meanwhile, CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle makes the perfect pick for anyone who wants to embrace her sparkling and feminine character. Its composition features the sparks of orange, turkish rose, grasse jasmine, may rose, patchouli, and vetiver that renders a warm floral scent. A single spritz will definitely leave anyone around you charmed.
