Fragrances To Make Us Feel Better When Times Are Uncertain

With the world feeling a bit uncertain at the moment we wanted to talk about some of the fragrances that help us feel better. Here's what we mention: Acqua Di Parma Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato ‘To mark the 110th anniversary… Expertly distilled over 24 hours and delicately fractionated, the 2024 harvest of Ylang-Ylang from Nosy Be amplifies the vibrancy of the citruses and gives density and depth to the perfume. Italian bergamot, blood orange, petitgrain and grapefruit open the composition with a golden freshness, while rosemary, orange leaves absolute, patchouli, and vetiver give structure and sophistication to this citrus aromatic creation.’ Zara Jo Malone The Golden Lullaby Creed Wild Vetiver ‘Experience untamed elegance with Wild Vetiver, a composition sculpted by an unexpected harmony of timur berry, rose centifolia and noble vetiver.’ (inspired by an English garden party wandering into the wild. Wild Vetiver is a fragrance off the beaten path, walking the line between precise refinement and nature. Born from noble roots yet spirited in its freedom, this sculpted composition reveals a vibrant tension between sophistication and wilderness. Opening with the spiced vibrancy of hand-harvested timur berry, the heart unfolds as rose centifolia rambles freely. At the base, vetiver casts a woody trail, grounding the composition with modern elegance. This is an enchanting journey through an aristocratic garden, where halcyon moments and the joy of missing out drift through the air.) Chloe Nomad Eau de Parfum Naturel Jo Malone London English Pear & Sweet Pea ‘Sun-warmed orchards spring to life as tempting green pears fill the branches. The luscious fruits enveloped in softly scented pastel sweet peas, nestled on a base of powdery white musk.’ “I can't help but smile when I wear English Pear & Sweet Pea. It's playful, subtle and instantly makes my day better.” – Lizzy Jagger Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia (Georgia May Jagger wears): ‘Orchards steeped in golden sunshine, warming the russet curves of luscious pears. The sensuous freshness of the just-ripe fruit wrapped in elegant white freesias, enhanced with rose and rooted in patchouli.’ “I love it because it’s classic and elegant. I feel I can reach for it every day and wear it anywhere. It’s really timeless.” – Georgia May Jagger Villa Bullognia Maya Njie Aethi Opum ‘When the rain subsides, black pepper, aidan fruit and vanilla warm up the earth with the sun. Aromas of coffee, vetiver and leather stir with thiouraye (churai) incense over formations of stone. The ancient keeper of lore secretly adorns itself with bark and leaves, its presence seen only by the vultures circling the skies above.’ Black Pepper, Wet Earth, Aidan Fruit, Thiouraye incense (Churai) Vetiver, Papyrus, Coffee, Iris, Suede, Frankincense, Vanilla, Leather. Ormonde Jayne Bijou Zafran ‘ Celestial, A Spell in a Bottle Saffron, red gold on skin, trailing fire spun in silk, flares like a comet in slow motion. It's not perfume. It's a presence, a spell in a bottle, softly dangerous, strangely celestial. Every turn of the head feels choreographed by desire. It doesn't shout, it smoulders. Wear it when you want the world to lean in just a little closer.’ HEAD: Saffron, Pear HEART: Cypriol, Iris, Benzoin SOUL: Patchouli, Musk, Mineral Amber, Vanilla Bean, Leather Accord Thameen Centre Stage Olfactive O New Earth (Soon to be launched…) Green, earthy, petrichor: loamy, soaked soil after the rain, the sense of nature nurturing. Can’t wait to wear this!
