A spritz of fragrance is the perfect finishing touch to any outfit, and a luxurious pick-me-up that’s worth the splurge. You deserve it.
With that in mind, we’ve scoured the latest and greatest scents to see you through the year or will serve as gift inspiration for someone special. Either way, wallets at the ready.
Part of Byredo’s Night Veils range, Sellier uses flowers and leather to create bespoke blends that are smokier than the rest fo its olfactory wardrobe. This heady mix of black tea, leather accord, tobacco leaves and oak moss, is good if you like something that leaves a mark rather than a subtle scent.
The newest fragrance from Tom Ford suits a more feminine taste, with its modern take on the classic rose scent. Forget smelling like your nan, instead spritz this mix of Turkish and Bulgarian roses with an added sharpness thanks to the notes of vanilla and Sichuan pepper.
Behold this majestic bottle. It’s pleasantly aromatic, making it a crowd pleaser with jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose. If you’re feeling generous, we think this would make the perfect gift that even the fussiest recipient will enjoy.
Perfumery runs in Tom Daxon’s family, his mum was creative director of Molten Brown, so it’s clear he has a nose for the job. In his carefully curated line-up of 14 fragrances, Fuyu is a stand out. White peach and iris give it a musky scent, it’s unlike anything we’ve smelt before. Don’t believe us? Head to Liberty London and have a spritz or yourself.
Speaking of Molton Brown, it may not be first place you look for to find fine fragrance, but it’s not one to be missed next time you’re in the aisle’s of John Lewis. It’s a rich infusion of oudh accord, vanilla and honey, so not one for the faint hearted. One spritz will be enough for this to last all day.
L’Artisan Parfumeur is a Parisian fragrance brand you don’t come across often. Available in very few stores in the UK other than Harrods, it’s well worth checking out. Inspired by scents found in nature, this bottle is a heady blend of lily, white musk, incense and cedarwood. Delicious.
For any apothecary fans, Gucci has the perfect eau de parfum for you. And no, we’re not talking Pottery Barn in Friends, this is luxury at its finest. Creative Director Alessandro Michele looked to alchemy and botanicals to create this unique scent that is designed to replicate a snake’s movement through a forest through fragrance. You’ll find patchouli, saffron and oud in this intensely rich blend.
For something more fresh and uplifting, this blue bottle will put a spring in your step. Think of it as a breath of fresh air, inspired by ocean waves and sunny skies, which lets face it, we’re all in short supply of right now.
If you like citrus, you’ll love this for its cocktail of green mandarin, osmanthus flower and neroli oil. Sweet but sickly, rich but nor overwhelming, it’ll make the perfect transition from winter to spring. Roll on the sunshine.
