Just as we switch up our clothes

with the new season, we should

also reconsider our choice of spritz Woody and spicy scents are perfectly matched to cold days spent wrapped up in cosy jumpers. But once it’s flip-flop weather, deep notes will seem too heavy and potent. Instead, match a sunny mood with barely-there florals and

aromatic oceanics. Usually crisp and characterful, unisex fragrances tend to hit the right note. Take NEW Diptyque’s L’Ombre Dans L’Eau, £65 (page 20). Its rose and blackcurrant accords make it a sweet floral at heart, while its sharp green notes add a distinctive flair. Meanwhile, NEW ck One Summer, £27 (opposite), an updated version of the classic, is crisp and effervescent and inspired by a desert sunrise. For those who can’t decide, NEW Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo collection, £84 (page 23), contains three iconic scents that are like sunshine in a bottle.

How to build a fragrance wardrobe The sheer amount of scents available has never been wider.

And with more choice, more women are selecting perfumes

to match a specific mood or occasion. Here’s how to curate a scent collection to take you anywhere…

The release of Tom Ford’s Oud Wood marked a

milestone in the fragrance

industry. Ten years later, it’s still going strong (with a capital

S), says fragrance expert Nick Gilbert. ‘Oud Wood brought

oud, an ingredient used for

hundreds of years in the

Middle East, to the western

market,’ he says. ‘Fast forward to now and everyone wants

“an Oud” to call their own.

It owes its success to Ford’s treatment of the material –

softened with sandalwood and

rosewood, plus a hint of spicy

freshness from cardamom.

Wear it whenever you want

to make a unique impression.’
