To celebrate the 10th anniversary of its launch, the French brand created Cerisier Pastel Eau Legere, a limited-edition collection with a scent that is a more fruity-floral take on the original fresh, cherry blossom perfume.

Chief in the collection is the EDT. In a bottle with beautiful pastel shades of pink, blue and yellow, the fragrance opens with notes of ambrette and bergamot, before the invigorating notes of cherry blossom and centifolia rose take over. Think the fresh, crisp air in a springtime flower garden. Accompanying the EDT in the collection are the Body Milk, Hand Cream and Fragrance Touch, a gel perfume in a lip-balm-sized tube. $15.50 to $70.

This year’s take, L’Eau Kenzo Aquadisiac ($95), has notes of yuzu, lime and mint in the men’s fragrance, and pear and jasmine in the scent for females.

Specifically intended for cold, dry weather, Dior’s Prestige La Creme Texture Riche ($505) is a thick, comforting cream with the same ingredients found in this top-of-the-line range’s other skincare. An ultra-moisturising fix.
