7 Great Perfumes To Start The New Year With

Fashion brands are making their perfumes more complex, more artisanal-smelling and, in turn, more desirable.

by MOH SHUYING  /   January 6, 2016

Forget the commercial (read: uncool) tag that can come with a fashion fragrance. These days, more brands are making theirs more complex, more artisanal-smelling and, in turn, more desirable. By Moh Shuying.

7 Great Perfumes To Start The New Year With
#1: Valentino Donna EDP, $144
image

The female counterpart to the brand’s Uomo fragrance, which debuted in 2014, this smooth chypre-floral scent retains the rich leather base of its male predecessor, but is sweetened with Italian bergamot, Bulgarian rose, iris absolute, patchouli and vanilla accords.

#2: Chloe EDT, $130
image

A lighter, more delicate variation of the brand’s signature EDP, this has a refreshing mix of magnolia, rose and gardenia, and a subtle hint of lemon. Cotton flower and downy musk add a clean, soft feel meant to recall clean linen in a field of flowers.

#3: Gucci Bamboo EDP, $133
image

Warm notes of sandalwood, Tahitian vanilla and grey amber accords juxtaposed with delicate Casablanca lily and ylang-ylang make this intense yet gentle at the same time.

#4: Bulgari Omnia Paraiba EDT, $134
image

Inspired by Brazil’s beaches, oceans and jungles, this exotic fruity-floral scent opens with passion fruit, lime and curacao accord, before mellowing into heart notes of passion flower and gardenia. Base notes like vetiver and cocoa lend hints of wood.

#5: Armani Code Satin EDP, $125 
image

Aptly described by the brand as a “tasty floriental”, this uniquely textured fragrance boasts both gourmand and floral notes.
To open, sweet orange essence and pear sorbet accord; at its heart, lush neroli essence and jasmine; and to end, yummy vanilla and cocoa.

#6: Narciso Rodriguez For Her L’absolu EDP, $157                                                                                                                                            
image

The latest variation from the popular For Her franchise is a deeper, more intense incarnation of the original musky scent. The signature musk heart remains, but is now reimagined with rich, deep jasmine absolute, amber and sandalwood.

#7: Maison Margiela Replica By The Fireplace EDT, $129
image

Typical of the surrealist label, the Replica line is supposed to evoke familiar scents and particular moments. The latest is meant to conjure up a morning by the fireplace in ’70s Chamonix (the ski resort that hosted the first Winter Olympics) and starts off frosty, before developing into a warm, comforting mix of chestnuts and smoky wood.

An adapted version first appeared in Female’s January issue, out on newsstand now.
