So it’s only a few days away and let’s face it, you’re still stuck for a gift. That wilting bunch of petrol station flowers purchased at the 11th hour won’t do, so be sure to try one of these super-fine fragrances if you want to stay in her good books.
Burberry Body
“The fragrance is very British and is the most sensual and feminine we’ve ever worked on,” claims Burberry’s Christopher Bailey. “It’s sophisticated, it’s modern and it’s delicate. Rosie is this beautiful, sensual English rise and perfectly captures the spirit of Burberry.” OK, so the lady in your life may not look like campaign face Rosie Huntingdon Whitley but this shamelessly feminine fragrance with top notes of green absinthe, peach and freesia will please her (and you) for sure.
YSL Manifesto
A new scent form the YSL stable, the elegant bottle nipped in with a purple belt is timeless and very tactile. Combining fresh green wave, bergamot and black currant, the heart includes accords of white flowers such as Sambac jasmine and lily of the valley. Classy and sophisticated which is precisely the message you ant to be sending.
Maison Martin Margiela Replica Series
For something more imaginative than a nice-but-run-of-the-mill perfume, Maison Martin Margiela’s trio of evocative ‘replica’ scents call upon unusual places. Featuring a floral Parisian ‘Flower Market’, fresh sandy ‘Beach Walk’ and sweet candy-floss ‘Funfair Evening’, the inspired apothecary-esque clinical bottles definitely have the wow factor.
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb
Something of a modern classic, Flowerbomb is a really warm indulgent scent which only increases in popularity. Housed in an awesome grenade-like flacon, its bouquet of samba jasmine, centifolia rose and catleya orchid harmonizes with patchouli and benzoin. Now that’s beautiful belligerence.
