The perfect spring scent need not be a blast of clean or a burst of budding flowers. To us, the contrasts of spring can feel surreal, even delightfully disorienting. This calls for a bit of fragrant fantasy.
Some of our new spring arrivals are kaleidoscopes of colour and optimism. They’re perfect rabbit holes to trip down while you greedily savour every extra minute of sun.
Other scents beckon from mysterious underworlds. Humming with spirited energy, they implore us to break out of our winter cocoons and find new pleasures among the shadows.
Whether they’re delightful or devious, these new arrivals are perfect for the warm mornings and crisp evenings of spring.
WARM MORNINGS
Maison Crivelli
A fruity tuberose constellation glimmers within a technicolour galaxy of soft osmanthus and weightless cinnamon leather. Surreal, playful and seriously complex.
Amouage
A warm afternoon daydream of warm cake, rosewater sweets and roasted nuts steaming in shafts of Omani sun. Transportive, decadent, and easy to love.
Vilhelm Parfumerie
A Gatsby-esque flight of fancy: quaffing vintage champagne and ginger highballs in an oak-panelled cabaret. Hedonism meets sophistication, as only Paris can provide.
CRISP EVENINGS
Jorum Studio
An unusually sophisticated apparition of plush ozone, cool smoke and inky moss, this unclassifiable cocktail projects an endless hypnotic glow.
D.S. & Durga
Airy-sweet pineapple hums a hot pink halo through an iris-tobacco haze, like neon in a dive bar window. The thrill of New York nightlife in a bottle.
Libertine Fragrance
Intrigue echoes through an old house etched with earthy spices, as new friends tell far-fetched tales long into the wood-sweet night. Strangely comforting.
