Aromatic amber

A bit musky with a dash of spice thrown in is the best way to think about how amber fragrances smell. If that sounds the sort of thing the special woman in your life would love, then try Burberry For Her Blossom EDT, £36 for 30ml, lookfantastic.com. It’s sultry but the notes of blossom give it a floral edge. Or La Luna Amber EDP, £2.50 for 25ml, Primark, is an absolute fragrance bargain.
