This is a lighter rendition of the intense woody-floral scent Nina, composed particularly for the Asian market. A burst of fresh bergamot and Nashi pear meets the floral mid notes of peony, magnolia and jasmine — whose presence asserts the perfume’s sensual side.
Inspired by the vivid bursts of colour in Marc Jacobs’ latest resort collection, this is a much-awaited limited edition of the brand’s popular Daisy fragrance range. It opens with refreshing honey pomelo, apricot nectar and violet and leads into the heart of osmanthus. Grown in a Mediterranean climate, these delicate flowers are known for their sweet floral-woody scent.
Elie Saab Le Parfum Resort Collection
The freshness of Italian red mandarin and frangipani meets the white floral core of orange blossom and Sambac jasmine in this limited-edition fragrance. The heady and exotic aroma of frangipani oil adds a romantic touch.
Taking a cue from the energy of New York City, it has an interesting mix of pink pepper and raspberry leaves that gives way to cyclamen and rose on a seductive base of suede and musk. The faint, barely-there scent of cyclamen flowers softens the intensity of other notes and lends a delicate, feminine feel.
