Here's why Sofia Richie's perfumes deserve the top spot in your best perfume collection—especially if you want to embody that Cali-girl vibe this summer...

While we're already planning to add all of Sofia Richie's sunglasses (and outfits, for that matter) to our capsule wardrobes, she's now tempting us to splurge on her signature scents too. Yes, much like that of Rihanna's favorite perfume of Niall Horan's cult-favorite cologne, it seems we have another contender for the best celebrity scent to steal...
