Our favourite time of the month? When we get a whiff of all the latest fragrance launches! If you’re just as obsessed as we are, come and explore what the coming summer days ahead might smell like. Here’s a teaser: expect a touch of mystery and a hint of scandal!
Can a scent be both subtle and striking? The narciso rodriguez NARCISO RADIANTE women’s perfume answers with a resounding yes! No attention-seeking notes or crowd-pleasers here, just a beautifully balanced blend of orange blossom, cotton flower, clove, white florals and musk. It enhances your natural scent and melts into your skin like a second layer. The perfect everyday fragrance that lasts all day long.
Here’s a thought – what if your new perfume caused a bit of a stir every time you wore it when you went out? If you're a rebel at heart and conventional sounds boring, the Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme Intense fragrance for men truly gets you. A little leather, a little wood, fresh and energised by vetiver and sage – and it all comes in a flacon topped with a golden crown that leaves no doubt about who’s in charge now.
Do you know what we love? A fragrance with a surprise ingredient. Even better if it adds a little mystery – like the datura in the Shiseido Ginza Datura fragrance for women. Known for its hallucinogenic properties (don’t worry – not when it’s in perfume!) and for blooming only at night, this enigmatic flower truly shines after dark. Blended with ylang-ylang, grapefruit, sandalwood and guaiac, this perfume delivers an irresistible, intoxicating allure.
If success had a scent, we imagine it would smell just like GIVENCHY Gentleman Society Ambrée. This men’s perfume makes a statement right from the black and gold bottle – and its scent profile only confirms this. Narcissus, vetiver, leather, tobacco, and a final hint of vanilla create an attention-grabbing composition that celebrates your unique charisma, however you choose to express it.
Still haven’t found the one? Maybe it’s time to revisit the classics, with floral fragrances getting a fresh upgrade this season. In the Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Intense perfume for women, ylang-ylang meets vanilla and marine notes for a free-spirited vibe. Meanwhile, Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Eau So Intense pairs jasmine and tuberose with banana blossom, creating a tropical vibe that’s impossible to resist.
A men’s classic? You can’t go wrong with citrus. The Hugo Boss Bold Citrus perfume sweeps you away with the pure energy of lemon and bergamot alongside woody notes. Or perhaps try GIVENCHY Pour Homme Blue Label, where refreshing grapefruit meets a mysterious smoky incense accord. Give it a go, it raises your sensuality to the skies!
Fallen for more than one fragrance this May? Give in to your perfume crush and enjoy the romance in full bloom!
