Your choice of fragrance is a deeply personal preference – especially when it comes to selecting a scent for one of the most important days of your life. Perfume has the unique power to express your mood, inspire confidence and leave a lasting impression. It also plays a huge part in transporting its wearer back to precious moments in time.
Here, we’ve carefully curated our edit of the best new fragrance launches, worthy of your wedding day wish-list…
Creed, Queen of Silk
Embodying the opulent lustre and ethereal softness of silk, leaving a trail of sensual allure that captivates the senses, Creed’s latest addition to its fragrance portfolio promises to cast a hypnotic spell over all who encounter it.
Queen of Silk imbues the heady flowers and fruits of Chinese osmanthus, Javanese patchouli and tuberose with the complex woods of cedar and agar, suffused with the smouldering softness of Madagascan vanilla and rich ambers, resulting in a sophisticated fragrance that transports its wearer to another world.
Louis Vuitton, Pur Santal
As part of a new trio launched by the luxury French brand, Pur Santal pays homage to sandalwood – one of Ancient Egypt’s most sacred properties with exceptional olfactory qualities. Its velvety, woody scent knows no borders and reveals itself as both powerful and delicate.
To elevate the star ingredient and make it perceptible from the outset, Louis Vuitton’s Master perfumer combined sandalwood with Hedione and Ambrettolide, two ethereal floral and musky notes with exceptional diffusive qualities. Plucked from the other end of the olfactory spectrum, these luminous ingredients oxygenate the wood, lifting it and lending it their unrivalled power of projection. Thanks to their radiant, galvanising presence, sandalwood reveals its incomparable elegance of character.
Tom Ford, Vanille Fatale
Exuding the sultry charm one would expect from a Tom Ford fragrance, the revamped rendition of Vanille Fatale evokes the mesmerising aromas of rich coffee and dark woods, creating an enchanting fragrance that’s a strong contender for a wedding day scent.
Opening with saffron and coriander, making way for the rich middle notes of coffee, frangipani, narcissus and barley, Vanille Fatale settles into a smoky scent bursting with Madagascar vanilla, tobacco, suede and mahogany.
Narciso Rodriguez, For Her, Musc Nude
Musc Nude is the newest fragrance in Narcisco Rodriguez’s iconic For Her collection. Created to complement and celebrate the wearer’s own skin, a radiant new interpretation of the timeless chypre structure infuses the iconic heart of musc, with delicate flower petals and warm facets to create an addictive scent that celebrates the sensuality of one’s own skin.
The fragrance opens with a subtle pink peppercorn note and a bouquet of delicate abstract florals. These are illuminated by an accord of white jasmine blossom, infusing the scent with a radiant, sun-kissed quality. At the heart of the fragrance blooms a delicate damask rose, hand-picked in the early morning to capture the precious essence at its most potent, celebrating nature at its best.
Loewe, Agua Drop
Incorporating the Loewe accord – a unique new note based on Labdanum (the aromatic oil that’s extracted from the Rockrose), and is now woven into all new formulations joining the brand’s fragrance collection, Loewe Agua Drop is a refreshingly warm scent that has just burst onto the scene.
Accompanying the distinctive Loewe accord, the fragrance is enriched with lively notes of crisp bergamot and orange flower absolute, equalised by woody and amber undertones, resulting in a scent designed to evoke the tiny drops of dew that settle on the Rockrose’s petals after a long, cool night.
