Fragrances
are a perfect, timeless Christmas gift. I still remember un-boxing my first
‘grown-up’ perfume (Vera Wang’s Princess – obvs) even though it was many,
(many) Christmases ago and always add one that I’ve been lusting after all year
to my Christmas wish list.
This
year I’ve been pretty lucky and have accumulated a lovely little selection of
fragrances well before Christmas, so I thought I’d share my six most beloved
scents. Some new, and some classics - but each are sure to make a loved one
very happy come Christmas Day.
Bright, vibrant and totally modern Stella
McCartney’s latest fragrance is fresh and fruity: with floral undertones that
totally take you back to long warm summer days (and nights)!
Totally reinventing the classic tuberose
flower for a younger, fresher fragrance POP is vibrant yet understated. Through
mixing in and combining Sandalwood and Cedarwood musks a deliciously fun
fragrance is created, with top notes of tomato leaves and green mandarin, and
heart notes of violet it’s a pretty punchy perfume.
POP comes in the prettiest, powerful pink
glass bottle with metallic branding that’s made for dressing tables (and
instagram)!
Fronted by Kate Moss, Charlotte Tilbury’s
debut fragrance is the perfume for a
party season girl. With fruity top notes of lemon and peach mixed with black
pepper, and floral heart notes it’s surprisingly seductive.
It doesn’t quite sit right for me to wear
as an everyday option due to its flirty floral notes, but it’s such a treat to
wear at night. The elegantly ornate glass bottle, reminds me of the glamorous
vintage perfumes that you’d see in old movies and brings a (very welcomed)
little bit of Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood glamour to my tiny flat.
Charming, playful and available in a handy
20ml size that’ll fit in even the smallest of cross-body bags Prada’s Candy
makes the sweetest of gifts.
Candy’s base that warms to a gourmand, with
white musk and caramel with delicate fresh Italian citrus with floral notes and
a sweet pea heart it’s such a great daytime perfume.
The ultimate cosy winter fragrance it makes
you either want to snuggle up by the fire with your loved one, or head out on a
flirty night out. It’s modern, fruity and floral without being frilly or too
girly.
With Tuberose Absolute at the heart,
entwined with notes of Neroli, Rose de Mai and Jasmine plus Patchouli, Moss and
Black Musk for deeper base notes – Close to My Heart is the most sophisticated,
richly romantic offering.
Inspired by the brands iconic bamboo bag
and accessories this is the fragrance that people tend to ask me ‘what are you
wearing’ most when I wear it.
With a mix of Casablanca Lily, Tahitian
Vanilla and Grey Amber cords Bamboo is fresh, musky and warm, with woody vibes
that are rich yet feminine. Although it launched in early autumn last year it’s
a light enough perfume to carry though from a bright and fun summer to a cold
and dark winter.
This iconic, classic fruity and floral
fragrance is my ultimate go-to for an important day or exciting date night.
Soft, fresh and full of fun it’s a fragrance that I can’t ever imagine leaving
my perfume roster.
The smoothness of White Musk mixed with
soft Jasmine and fruity Grapefruit-Quine is totally dreamy – it’s a romantic,
yet understated option that works easily for both day and night.
