Fresh Unfurling

Combining crisp and green notes including salt, cucumber and sage, these fragrances from Diptyque, Frédéric Malle and Jo Malone create a pining for windswept shores, fresh-cut grass and ferny forest floor. Each is a welcomed breath of fresh air – and a perfect choice for those who can get a little hot under the collar.

Woody Intoxication

Fruity Infatuation

Spiked with juicy, sweet notes including nashi pear, bergamot and nectarine, these nectarous, refreshing scents from Annick Goutal, Jimmy Choo and Balmain are perfect for those with a thirsty zest for life.

Floral Fling

Laced with floral notes including peony, rose and lily of the valley, these pretty fragrances from Chloé, Prada and Guerlain conjure up thoughts of elaborate, spilling bouquets and sprawling bloom-filled fields – an olfactory delight for the unapologetically feminine.
