The fragrance you spray on can have an incredible power of influencing your mood. Depending on the smell, they have the power to make you perceived as more masculine, feminine, sophisticated or sexy.
Here's a look at the latest perfumes in the market.
An elegant creation
Celine’s Zouzou perfume is an amber and musk creation which awards its lead role to a balmy accord with caramel overtones, created around benzoin and tonka bean.
Patchouli and labdanum underline the ambery and elegant character of the accord, while musk and vanilla prolong the powdery notes of the trail, a muted signature in all Celine’s creations.
Encased in a rectangular bottle designed by Hedi Slimane for Celine, the bottle is decorated on two sides with sharp-edged fluting and topped with a faceted black lacquered cap.
Elevate your aura
Narciso Rodriguez’s Musc Nude Eau de Parfum for Her is a must-have for women who crave fragrances that embody timeless elegance and transcend ordinary scents.
Infused with delicate floral notes and the warm embrace of tonka beans, this perfume transports you to lush gardens blooming with flowers, evoking a sense of serene tranquility.
A glowing halo of bergamot illuminates the soft petals of blooming flowers in a lush bouquet of upcycled rose and white floral accords.
This is enhanced with elegant woody and amber facets of sensuous cedarwood and cashmeran, giving the fragrance a mysterious, diffusive trail.

Classic femininity
Amouage’s Secret Garden collection combines a polarity of sweet gourmand and floral accords in scents made for strong, feminine women.
Included in the collection is Lilac Love, a melodious symphony of flowers and balsams, which reinvents and sensualises the image of classic femininity.
Each spritz holds notes of mixtures of florals such as lilac, gardenia, jasmine, peony and rose; paired with the richness of cacao, tonka bean, vanilla and a hint of spice with sandalwood and patchouli.
Smooth and sparkling
Maison Crivelli presents its new perfume extract, Tubereuse Astrale, developed in collaboration with perfumer Quentin Bisch.
Inspired by one of Crivelli’s childhood memories – his experience of discovering tuberoses while observing comets and the Milky Way – this experience inspired him to work with this white flower, a key ingredient in Haute Parfumerie.
The fragrance is centred around the unexpected contrast between sparkling tuberose and the smoothness of velvety leather, with hints of peach skin.

Fresh and lively
By imagining perfume as a piece of high jewellery found in living nature, Cartier perfumer Mathilde Laurent developed the first collection of Les Epures de Parfum, like five irresistible jewels from the same collection.
A collection aimed at men and women who are searching for an olfactory beauty, it includes Pur Lilas, one of five striking fragrances.
The fresh white lilac scent with a subtle pink hue is accompanied by clusters of flowers which leave a lively, fresh and delicate fragrance.
Laurent chose lilac because of its ephemeral nature: they bloom mainly around April, and are not seen for an entire year until spring comes around again.
