Perfume: Scents of Spring

dreamcreate-chanel-vase-2

A spring in your step, the world at your feet, flowers in your hair—fragrance has a way of transporting and igniting memory. L’Officiel uncovers eight fragrances for spring that will take you on an olfactory journey from Capri, to the French Rivera, to the birth of Venus, before a visit to the spring gardens of Asia via an avenue of Japanese cherry blossoms.

Carthusia Via Camerelle Eau de Toilette

What’s better than Paris in the spring time? The answer is—smelling like the island of Capri while you greet the spring time. Named for the Italian island’s famed street, Via Camerelle, this perfume will seduce with the scent of sea moss and cedar wood with notes of bitter orange and lemon. All Carthusia perfumes are made in Capri with ingredients sourced directly from the island. camerelle_4

Bulgari Aqua Divina

If sophistication is more your style, Bulgari‘s Aqua Divina is like heavenly smelling water—floral, radiant and sensuous. It is the first feminine scent from the Aqua collection and is inspired by Boticelli’s painting, the Birth of Venus. The floral-aquatic composition opens with aromas reminiscent of the salty sea, evoking the goddess Venus on her sea shell. A layer down there are notes of bergamot, salt crystals and red ginger. The first spring flower, magnolia, forms the heart of the perfume along with quince, which is followed by a base of beeswax, precious woods and amber.BVLGARIAQVADIVINA-EaudeToiletteSpray65ml-BVLGARI-48250-E-1

 

La Panthere by Cartier

From sophisticated to sexy, La Panthere Eau De Parfum is described as feline floral on account of the combination of delicate gardenia alongside velvety notes of musk. The perfume bottle depicts the head of the regal panther, but you might think of this as the lingering scent Grace Kelly left behind as the sleek, black-clad cat burglar in 1955 Hitchcock thriller, To Catch a Thief. High class jewels missing, a window open to a warm night on the French Rivera…

Coco Mademoiselle

For a spring in your step, you need lightness to your luxury scent. Think petals and gentle blooms such as jasmine and rose, slightly sharpened with fresh citrus, along with Oriental notes of lichee and Indonesian patchouli.

EMOZIONE by Salvatore Ferragamo

Softness and femininity are qualities that exude from this elegant take on spring scent. Like a fresh posy, there are peonies and Bulgarian rose, iris and gorgeous peachy notes. These are emboldened with patchouli and white musk with a hint of suede.

Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady

This portrait of a lady carries the exotic aromas of a souk—sandalwood, Turkish rose, cinnamon, incense and clove. As a counterbalance there is a touch of raspberry and current giving it an intense and natural fragrance.

Pivoine Suzhou by Armani Prive

Inspired by beautiful Asian gardens, in particular the peony flower which is much loved in China. The city of Suzhou in eastern China is known for its canals and bridges and carries the moniker ‘the Venice of the east.’ Expect a breeze of spicy introduction with a softened quality of rose and sweet mandarins.
