Fragrance is such a personal thing, which is why I often find it quite difficult to write fragrance reviews, because what I absolutely love may not be what you guys love. I really tailor the fragrance I wear depending on the weather, my mood and what I’m wearing. For example if I’m wearing a summer dress I’ll go for a scent that reminds me of summer and being on holiday.
With that, and with Summer in full swing I have a few fragrances which I’ve been reaching for as the temperatures have been soaring. The first fragrance I’ve been loving is the Juicy Couture Majestic Woods fragrance which is a really heady fragrance and one I love to wear for evenings. It contains notes of tonka, white ambrox and amber to create a really seductive scent.
Sticking with fragrances that I love to wear in the summer evenings and on date nights next up is Tom Ford Velvet Orchid. Again this is a heady fragrance and is absolutely divine, it tends to be the scent that I save for special occasions because it smells so unique, and also Tristan wears Black Orchid so it really feels like our date night fragrance.
Moving onto scents that are a bit lighter I’ve recently been using English Oak and Redcurrant from Jo Malone which is due to launch this Autumn. It’s a lovely blend of earthy and fruity scents and overall a really beautiful perfume. It contains notes of Rose, Roasted Oak and Redcurrent and this combination is what gives such a complex lasting fragrance.
Possibly my favourite zesty scent for the summer comes from the new Viktor & Rolf Magic Collection. Sparkling Secrets can only be described as a zesty and captivating fragrance. It contains notes of sweet lime, grapefruit, orange blossom, blonde woods and amber, which give a bright and deep fragrance – perfect for hot summer days.
Last but by not means least is Blanche Immortelle by Atelier Cologne, which I’d say probably not everyone would love. It’s a very complex and deep scent with notes of iris and sandalwood in a cologne absolute style which means it’s a very strong fragrance. This is one of those scents that could easily be for men but I absolutely adore it and even though I love it right now, I know for winter it will also be perfect.
