Inspired by blooming buds, fragrant foliage and the great outdoors, here are seven sensational scents vying for a place on your dressing table this spring…

A rich, well-rounded bouquet, Musc Noir Rose is centred on the queen of flowers, with tuberose, patchouli and leather notes giving it an intoxicating depth.
£78 for 50ml, The Perfume Shop
2. Jo Malone Salty Amber Cologne
Part of the Wild Swimming collection, Salty Amber is inspired by a dip in the sea. After a bracing blast of fresh coastal air, the scent dries down to make way for warm waves of cardamom and amber.
£56 for 30ml
3. La Perla Signature Eau de Parfum
The signature perfume from intimates brand La Perla, not only is this pearlescent-topped bottle a visual delight, it contains a lush neroli, jasmine and cedarwood scent that’s as sexy as black lace lingerie. £83 for 50ml, Debenhams
4. Jo Loves Golden Gardenia

5. Furla Autentica Eau de Parfum

Luxury lovers, this one’s for you. The latest launch from storied fragrance house Creed is a glorious floral symphony composed of elegant rose, jasmine and tuberose notes, with a dash of juicy peach and a base of sensuous sandalwood.
