Here’s a lowdown on the season’s fresh whiffs...

1. CAROLINA HERRERA
CH L’EAU

This floral citrusy feminine scent opens on a delicately, fresh note with lemon blossom, orange, freesia, rose, jasmine, lily and violet. The base notes finish in warm and pleasant caressing heliotrope, cinnamon and sandalwood.

2. AZZARO
DECIBEL

An oriental spicy fragrance for men, it invokes the stunning intensity of a musical emotion, or the adrenalin felt during a live concert. Top notes are amalfi lemon, aldehydes and licorice; middle notes are incense and violet; base notes are vetiver, tonka bean and vanilla.

3. GUCCI
THE FLORA GARDEN COLLECTION

The collection includes five most important blossoms outlined on the legendary Gucci scarf designed by Vittorio Accornero for Princess Grace of Monaco. Each bottle reveals a different coloured juice – be it pale pink, green, blue, violet or yellow.

4. CARTIER
BAISER VOLÉ

Baiser Volé, meaning ‘Stolen Kiss,’ is the expression of love according to Cartier. A story of pure passion told through a strikingly feminine and rare flower: the lily. This powdery floral fragrance embraces in its notes lily leaves, lily pistil, and lily petals.

5. CALVIN KLEIN
CK FREE BLUE

The scent is fresh, vigorous and modern, and it opens with lavender, mandarin and spearmint. The heart is refreshing with ozone notes, fresh greens, cardamom and nutmeg, while the base of amber, white leather and musk leaves a warm trail.

6. BURBERRY
BRIT SUMMER

The bottles for this limited edition fragrance is inspired by the Spring/Summer 2012 runway colour palette. The feminine variant bursts opens with crisp green almond, icy pear, delicate Japanese green tea and fresh Italian lime while the masculine scent has top notes of fresh lime, cardamom, green mandarin and ginger.

7. JEAN PAUL GAULTIER
KOKORICO

The new masculine perfume Kokorico featuring notes of fig leaves, raw cacao bean and wood, comes encased in a deliberately naughty and contemporary bottle, that plays on the tradition of bottle-sculptures.
