As someone who made all those smoky mistakes when buying perfume - after hours of shopping, shopping without trying, getting a beautiful bottle without thinking about juice - I lost a lot of time in vain searching. The scent is subjective; there are many absolutely amazing, absolutely harmless releases that don't excite me, and many admired classics that should remain in the past. What intrigued me were the scents, which differed in their purpose from the usual and unique. It doesn't have to be esoteric creations or exclusive design creations to get rid of banks; must be original.

Frederic Malle Portrait of a woman
There are endless interpretations of roses, and this ease of use comes to the fore in Frederic Malle's Portrait of a Woman. The note can be registered as sweet or spicy, silver or refined, depending on the application. Perfumers behind the Malle range demonstrate this quality through hits such as Ralf Schwieger flirty lipstick and Jean-Claude Ellen's Rose Cuir cocktail with vetiver. Yet Dominique Ropion's Portrait of the Lady takes the flower in a bold direction. The Turkish rose is complemented by earthy elements such as patchouli, sandalwood, incense and a bit of black currant and raspberry for flavor. Isabel Archer, the heroine of Henry James' novel The Origin of Scent, is an enthusiastic free soul and can easily imagine spraying little Malle for a night in the Eternal City.

Gucci A Chant for the Nymph

There is brand quality in Alessandro Michele's designs for Gucci. In his work, the designer has always evoked myths and folk tales, and the perfume bottles from the Alchemist's Garden perfume collection give it charm. Of course, the Frangipani focus A Chant for the Nymph lives up to its secular name. Tropical forests are inspired by scents, but thanks to the harsh tones of ylang-ylang and Tiare, it looks straight from Narnia, the Mediterranean or the King's landing.

Tom Ford Soleil Brûlant
Tom Ford is not a fashion brand; it's a lifestyle. The designer has developed an aesthetic that is so recognizable that as soon as you hear his name and the word beach, the idea of ​​perfectly colored models in sunglasses will fill your head. Ford has released many Soleil fragrances, but the latest, Soleil Brûlant, is the most luxurious. Everything from a metal bottle that looks like a gold brick to the thorough use of amber, incense and black honey says luxury. However, Soleil Brûlant is not rude. Adding lighter tones, such as pink pepper and tangerine, will help maintain a soft, sexy look.
