If you’ve ever wondered why the products by luxury hair care brand Oribe smells divine, it is because they’re infused with the scent from the brand’s first-ever perfume Cote d’Azur which was launched in 2008. Sensual and creamy, that fragrance contains notes of citrusy bergamot and mariposa blanca, the Cuban national flower. Flash forward to 2022, and the brand has finally expanded its perfume lineup with the introduction of two eau de parfums this month: Valley of Flowers and Desertland (from $48 for 10ml). The former is a sweet-scented perfume with aromas of Bulgarian rose and peony petals while the latter is brighter fragrance that blends juniper berry, desert wildflowers and Texas cedarwood. The good news? All three scents will be used in the brand’s lifestyle line of body wash and body cream.
Oribe Valley of Flowers Eau de Parfum and Oribe Desertland Eau de Parfum are available at selected salons islandwide, including Evolve Salon and The Lawn Hairdressing
