Our Two Scents:

EL’s favourite fragrances

Looking for a new scent? This month, we asked our team for their all-time top fragrances.

“When I’m looking for a perfume, I like something that is both fresh and versatile. My new favourite is Woman by Ralph Lauren. It’s light and floral with Turkish rose and sandalwood notes, but it’s not too sweet or heavy, so it can be worn both casually as well as on special occasions.”

– LEANDA RATHMELL, REGIONAL PRODUCTION & CLIENT SERVICES MANAGER “I love Dahlia Divin by Givenchy Paris, which has been my favourite for a year. This fragrance is earthy and woody with key notes of patchouli and sandalwood. I used Elizabeth Arden Red Door for years, but when my mum started using it I thought I needed to change!”

– REBECCA BISSET, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

“My new favourite daytime fragrance is L’Occitane Verbena Eau de Toilette. Its light and citrusy verbena aroma reminds me of a spa. For an evening out, I love the deliciously sexy yet elegant Dolce & Gabbana EDT spray.”

– VERNE MAREE, EDITOR

“My best discovery of 2018 was

Chloé Nomade, a woody, sexy eau de parfum with a distinctive floral chypre composition. Notes of Mirabelle plum, freesia and oakmoss dominate this scent. It’s perfect for date night!”

– ANTHIA CHNG, EL EDITOR

“My favourite scent is Goutal Paris Rose Pompon. It’s flowery, light, fresh and lasts well on my skin. Notes include Bulgarian rose essence, peony, blackcurrant, pink pepper and patchouli.”

– JACQUI YOUNG, INTEGRATED COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER

“I have been using Miss Dior Eau de Parfum for the longest time. I love its floral scent that works well for both for casual and formal days. Just a spritz or two is enough to keep the scent on, so the bottle will last! Another of my favourites is Gucci Envy Me, a sweet and playful scent. Don’t be put off by its loud pink packaging, as it’s not too overpowering and works well for everyday use.”
