Much like how you put extra thought and effort for your makeup look to complement your daily outfits, equal effort should be put into deciding on the fragrance of choice that will get you through the day. Here, a selection of new fragrance launches to be considered.
An alternative to alcohol-free perfumes, this fresh fragrance smells of pear, peach, musky rose, freshly-cut grass and vanilla notes. Plus point: it’s also suitable to be sprayed onto the hair, body and clothing because it doesn’t contain damaging artificial colouring or alcohol.
Inspired by the brand perfumer’s memory of a bottle of Bay Rum lotion in his father’s pharmacy, Francois Demachy concocted Spice Blend – a warm signature scent that’s described as one that sits at the crossroads of spices. It’s also one that is simultaneously fresh and fiery thanks to the lively and piquant spices like Madagascan black pepper, ginger essence and Chinese cinnamon with fruity and vanilla notes. The concentrated mixture of spices gives rise to a spicy-sweet scent that reveals a rum absolute, emphasising warmth and reviving freshness.
The juice of this Issey Miyake perfume is a combination of two types of roses – the centifolia and the Bulgarian rose. It is basically freshness, tenderness and natural simplicity in a bottle. The top note is rose with the dazzling sparkle of pink pepper, accompanied by an enticing fruity hint of raspberry and pear. The generous middle note is rosy, completed by the fruity tones of osmanthus. The base note features the essence of patchouli, ambrox and cashmeran.
The latest addition to Prada Candy sees of a one that’s more elegant, refined and a befitting scent for the evening. Prada Candy Night has notes of bright, bitter orange, vivid Iris aldehyde, patchouli, musk, tonka bean and rich cocoa.
Come September 2019, Mugler will be introducing a revamp of its 30-year longstanding Angel Eau de Toilette. The juice takes on a fresh, radiant tweak with tangy mandarin essence, delicate peony, bold praline, apple essence, woody patchouli and the warmth of wood.
Joining the Forbidden Incense collection is Ao. Ao is also the Japanese word meaning both green and blue and it’s commonly used to describe the sky, sea and forests. Aptly, this scent has green velvety notes of fig and zesty mandarin. Myhrr oil envelopes the fragrance to create a seductive scent by the hint of vanilla from tonka bean absolute.
The fragrance begins with bergamot, mandarin, neroli and the sweetness of heliotrope. It then gives way to the buttery softness of vanilla that gets much more seductive with accompanying jasmine. Lastly, cedarwood brings out the plant richness of this spice and the rain forests where it originated from. Smell irresistible with this perfume come September 2019.
