D.S. & Durga – Rose Atlantic
This floral aquatic fragrance by D.S. & Durga is gender neutral, so anyone can feel comfortable partaking in whatever makes them feel soft. The top notes of the scent are rose petals, lemon and bergamot and the middle notes are pure rose, salt, lime, and blossom, which dries down nicely, producing a tailor-made olfactory experience.
Kilian – Angels’ Share
Kilian Angels’ Share perfume bottle comes packaged like a cognac glass reminiscent of the most fabulous bars you’ve ever imagined. The scent contains the essence of cognac derived from the liquor to lend it a natural caramel color. It opens with a sultry blend of cognac oil, oak absolute, cinnamon essence and tonka bean absolute. With long-lasting sandalwood, praline and vanilla notes, you’ll be ready to own the evening and turn heads.
Tom Ford Beauty – Bitter Peach
Tom Ford‘s Bitter Peach is very sexy and wakes up divine feminine energy. It hits your skin half sweet and half tart and instantly brings back the memory of a missed summer evening. It’s not a Trolli gummy peach ring or anything candied, but it is alluring, assertive and bright.
Maison Francis Kurkdijan – À la rose
The perfume has the crisp tenderness of rose petals, a whimsical free-spirited style and elegance that radiates femininity. The top notes include Damascena rose from Bulgaria, bergamot from Calabria and orange from California, which offers radiance and a breath of femininity. In the heart notes, a blend of violet and magnolia blossom can be detected with a cross of woody cedar and musk accord.
Frederic Malle – Carnal Flower
Carnal Flower is a very wearable, elegant, beautiful and almost understated floral. With notes of intense tuberose, bergamot, jasmine and white musk, it will bring forth this feeling of internal sunshine.
Vilhelm Parfumerie – Poets of Berlin
Poets of Berlin is a beautiful marriage of blueberry and lemon over a base of vetiver and vanilla. One known fact is that the fragrance pays homage to the late artist David Bowie. The scent has gender-neutral sensibilities with added notes of bamboo, vetiver, sandalwood and vanilla that will last for hours.
