Girly is no longer a dirty word as the big fragrance houses go into flower and fruit overload with their blockbuster winter launches. Some are pure old school romance – because why have one flower when you can have seven? – while others are tempered with modern spice and citrus. Whichever you fancy, this celebration of femininity is not to be sniffed at.
“Looking for your new signature scent? It may be winter, but flower power is holding its own at the perfume counter. Don’t be afraid to go unabashedly girly”
