The hunting season for new fragrances is announced open. The end of spring and summer are traditionally rich in new fragrances launches. We'll tell you what you should definitely at least get to know, if not make friends. After all, new olfactory impressions are expensive (doctors say that they help to keep our gray matter in good shape, but we are sure that these three scents will tone not only your intellectual potential).
Censored Cut: ******* Fabulous, Tom Ford
What is the trick: When they ask you what you smell like (and they will ask you), only the second part of the answer will be censored.
Why get acquainted: There are a lot of reasons, the main of which is Tom Ford. And of course the scent itself, f *** ing fabulous. By the way, there was controversy about the name: if the perfume is so good that you want to swear, then why be ashamed? The fragrance is very honest and well-built into a pyramid of beautiful spicy notes. There is everything that will resonate in our subconscious: beautiful mountain lavender, clary sage, bitter almonds with vanilla, notes of expensive leather, tonka beans and violet root. All this is there, you can feel it in a delicate train.
Where to wear: For a fateful date, for an important meeting with the opposite sex (the scent is unisex, but it sounds a little different on women's and men's skin), and just to cheer up. Yes, and it seems to work like an aphrodisiac. Keep in mind.
Notes: bitter almond oil, tonka bean, violet root accord, cashmeran, leather accord, clary sage oil, vanilla.
Pure English: Mint & Tonic, Atkinsons
What's special: mint with tonic for external use.
Why Meet: The fresh green scent of the British niche brand has absorbed everything we love: the summer freshness of mint leaves, the aromaticity of grapefruit and lime, the spice of ginger and vetiver.
Where to wear: The scent is quiet, close to the skin, delicate, as befits a Briton. Who is more suitable is difficult to decide. We can definitely say that this is a great summer option that is not annoying on a hot day.
Notes: grapefruit, mint, lime, ginger, geranium, tangerine, white cedar, musk and vetiver.
Girls only: Mademoiselle Azzaro L'Eau Très Florale, Azzaro
What's the trick: Quince with rhubarb and lilies of the valley = green apple (surprise!)
Why get acquainted: Difficult, very difficult "green" scent. The fruity start, the rather energetic opening, so fun and daring. But the most beautiful thing is the apple sillage. Such delicious green apples, God knows where they came from, not declared in the aroma pyramid.
Where to wear: Trail scent in an adult way, sits for a long time. So, decide for yourself. He is definitely about the summer mood. But, in our subjective opinion, its calendar days are Saturday and Sunday. And vacation, of course.
Notes: quince, rhubarb, hazel leaves, tea rose, lily of the valley, ambrette seeds, white musk.
