12 GAME CHANGING FRAGRANCES

1. Jo Malone London, Poppy & Barley

If you could capture those last heady days of summer in a bottle, this would be it. Poppy & Barley is the newest addition to Jo Malone London’s iconic fragrance portfolio, an ode to English country living punctuated with notes of ripe blackcurrant, floral facets, and woody undertones.

2. Hermès, Twilly D’Hermès

Hermès' nose, Christine Nagel, created this scent with mischief in mind, using the finest ingredients and her own revolutionary blend of ginger, tuberose and sandalwood. The result is a spicy and unexpected scent, which has a personality of its own. Each bottle comes tied with its own unique silk Hermès ribbon.

3. Atelier Cologne, Musc Impérial

True to Atelier Cologne form, their newest fragrance is best described as an elixir – decadent, impossibly sophisticated and best enjoyed over time. Musc Impérial captures bergamot from Calabria, clary sage from Spain, lavender from Provence and fig from Andalusia, and brings them together to create a new evening fragrance, best worn with silk or velvet.

4. Escentric Molecule, Molecule 04

This unisex fragrance is all about making an impression. Molecule 04 has base notes of sandalwood which offers something distinct from its 01 counterpart. The botanical juniper and bright, tart grapefruit are as substantial as they are refreshing. A fragrance for those who dare to be different.

5. Aventus Cologne, CREED

A new twist on the beloved cult classic, this Eau de Parfum’s fruit, bergamot, oak moss, and ambergris layers create an energising, fresh cologne. Aventus has become a fragrance staple for many, and CREED is the perfect seasonal update to any olfactory arsenal.

6. Kilian, Rolling in Love

Love is the drug (and inspiration) behind this aphrodisiac, created by perfumer Pascal Gaurin. The white scent’s trail leads with ambrette seeds and an almond milk accord, allowing both musky and sweet tones to meet harmoniously. The perfect marriage, inspired by romance.

7. Lancôme, IDÔLE

The bottle alone – sleek, slender, designed with modern life in mind – reveals what kind of women Idôle will inspire. This complex fragrance's rose, jasmine, and chypre make it an undeniably feminine yet versatile fragrance wardrobe essential, with enough depth to be worn from day to night.

8. YSL, Libre

A take on the fougère, a classic style for men’s fragrances featuring lavender, Libre is the perfume equivalent of Yves Saint Laurent’s retailoring of the tuxedo for women. Best described as a sexy floral, expect notes of vanilla from Madagascar, orange blossom, neroli, topped off with juicy mandarin.

9. Gucci, Memoire

Everything about Gucci’s newest fragrance awakens nostalgia. Its array of apple and Roman chamomile, coral jasmine, sultry musks, woods and sweet vanilla ensures that whether you wear it for a special occasion or as an everyday fragrance, this is a scent you will make memories while wearing.

10. Boucheron, Néroli d'Ispahan

Inspired by an ancient Iranian city, this scent is as elegant as it is unique. Green cardamom, ginger, pink peppercorns and patchouli essence give this scent an otherworldly appeal. The perfect fragrance to help you escape autumn's darker days.

11. Tom Ford, Metallique

Those who worship at the altar of Tom Ford will revel in his latest addition. Juxtaposing delicate white blossoms of aubepine and muguet with the narcotic-like nectar of heliotrope, this fragrance has an allure that will satisfy all fragrance-lovers. A light spritz across décolletage is enough to make an impact.

12. Frederic Malle, Rose & Cuir
