Love at first spritz
Meet the new scent darlings that’ll lift your mood on the first whiff
Meant to smell like love and hope, this powdery and velvety scent weaves together notes of lily of the valley, iris, peony, Centifolia rose, apricot, peach, and woody, earthy base notes for a spicy, fruity take on the house classic.
A celebration of the richness of earth’s natural environments, this thoroughly masculine scent kicks of with a burst of zesty citron that sets the scene for smoky and woody vetiver before mellowing into a leathery, earthy base.
Best Citrusy Scent: Aqua Universalis Cologne Forte EDP, $290 for 70ml, Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Like a breath of fresh air, this pure, radiant fragrance opens with the sweet-yet-tart bergamot before delving into a citrus-scented heart of white florals such as mock orange and sweet pea and settling down to a white musk base.
Centred around the joyful gardenia fl ower, this scent opens with the lively notes of pear blossom before settling into a warm heart of gardenia and jasmine. Ending things on a sweet note is a base of brown sugar and patchouli.
Take to the skies with the airy, fruity scent of the SKY EDT. Juicy pears, bergamot and pink peppercorn form the welcoming notes, making way for the heart accords of lily of the valley, rose and lotus flower before warming to a base of vanilla, musk and toasted popcorn.
Vanilla, when extracted from an orchid, has an almost imperceptible scent, allowing perfumer Quentin Bisch to reimagine it as an enticing fl oral accord with spicy notes that’s at once sensual, gourmand and mysterious.
Evoking a dense, woody forest, the Guingle di Seta encapsulates the lush scent of wild freshness with green pea and crisp peony blossoms grounded by the warm woody notes of musk.
A modern scent stripped down to its essence, this shines the spotlight on the energetic warmth of cedar. It opens with a delightful rose that quickly transitions to Virginian Cedarwood, before settling to a base of vetiver and silky musk.
