HERMÈS JOUR
D’HERMES
Designed by JeanClaude Ellena, the parfumer of Maison
Hermès, this is heralded as the ‘great
feminine’ of the house’s bouquet of fragrances. The notes
are a vignette of beautiful flowers and
bright citrus undercurrents. It’s spring in a bottle.
7,850.
VALENTINO VALENTINA
ACQUA FLOREALE
This elegant perfume is the next in line to Valentino’s 2012 stunner, Valentina Assoluto. With an Oriental underlay of amber and patchouli, the fragrance feels like a walk through Valentino’s summer garden, filled with neroli,
mimosa, tuberose, and jasmine. Price upon request.
CHANEL COCO NOIR
Coco Noir follows the grand tradition of Chanel perfumes: It is exquisite, lingering, and sensuous. Chanel is calling it a ‘great nocturnal Baroque’ and we’d have to agree. A woody base comprising tonka bean, sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli, and white musk frankincense, the top notes sparkle with Calabrian
bergamot and grapefruit. 8,950.
LANCÔME LA VIE
EST BELLE
This newest fragrance from Lancôme lives up
to its name. Life is beautiful and one spritz from this unique fragrance flacon contains delicious notes like blackcurrant, iris, and praline, which makes you smell good enough to eat. 6,000.
ARMANI PRIVE LA COLLECTION DES
MILLE ET UNE NUITS - CUIR NOIR
This earthy, rich fragrance feels incredibly warm and luxurious. It has toughgirl base-elements of leather and benzoin, but is also aired with Bulgarian rose, coriander, and nutmeg, making it spicy and delectable. 9,900.
