1. Nina Ricci continues the intimate dream of its 2015 fragrance L’Extase with the launch of 2L’Extase Caresse de Roses. A lighter version of its predecessor, this sensual perfume features a musky floral bouquet of Bulgarian rose essence and Turkish rose absolute, peony as well as violet. www.ninaricci.com
2. Inspired by the Chteau de La Colle Noire, a castle near Grasse
acquired by Christian Dior over 4half a century ago, La Colle Noire by
Dior is the latest addition to La Collection Prive Christian Dior.
Crafted by Franois Demachy, the potent, sweet scent of May rose is
supported by a fruity opening and warm, spicy tones of Madagascan clove
essence, amber, musk and sandalwood. www.dior.com
3. Paying homage to founder Jeanne Lanvin, who created the first Scandal fragrance in 1933, Lanvin launches a limited-edition perfume named Jeanne Lanvin Scandal. The original fragrance’s musky tones are preserved in the new edition, while a fruity opening introduces the perfume’s sweet and charming side. At the heart are delicate notes of freesia, rose petals and peony. www.lanvin.com
4. Celebrating the Parisian woman’s casual elegance, Azzaro’s
Mademoiselle Azzaro blends two contrasting facets: an airy, sparkling
character expressed through mandarin blossoms and peach; and a more
sophisticated accord of Syringa flowers and iris wood. www.azzaro.com
5. The clean elegance of Giorgio Armani’s spring/summer 2016 collection can be found in this eau de parfum of the same name – Fil Rouge. Launched under the Armani/Priv Les dition Couture line, the fragrance is centred around a powdery iris heart on a white musk base. Just 1,000 bottles of this limited edition will be sold worldwide.www.armanibeauty.com
6. Part of Bulgari’s high perfumery collection Le Gemme Imperiali, Desiria represents the purple jade, a rare gemstone that symbolises romance and grace. The rich eau de parfum evokes a blooming Chinese garden with scents of magnolia, rose petals and tuberose absolute. The top of the precious bottle is dressed in the gemstone’s soft hue, and the distinctive fan shape of the jewellery brand’s Diva collection gives inspiration to the flacon’s architecture. www.bulgari.com
