Light, bright and suitably seductive, this season’s new fragrances are sure to help make your big day one to remember.
1/ Chloé Rose Naturelle Intense
For Chloé, the new Rose Naturelle Intense may well outdo the original this season for brides. The woody-rose scent opens quite sweetly with white petals grounded in bergamot; then the rose kicks in.This is a thoroughly romantic offering and the ideal option for the bride who likes to keep it classic.
Available for €149 from Boots.ie
2/ Dior J’adore Parfum d’Eau
This is another wedding day classic.The latest iteration is perfect for the bride looking for something light and fresh. Alcohol-free, Parfum d’Eau is bang-on trend as a water-based formulation that promises not to irritate the skin.The stunning white bottle is also particularly appropriate for the bride.
Available for €148 from Boots.ie
3/ Tom Ford Santal Blush
Tom Ford has singlehandedly changed our taste in fragrance by making the base notes of smoky ouds and deep sandalwood the star of the fragrance rather than a mere backing note. Santal Blush is an “ode to sandalwood” that features an intoxicating mix of sandalwood and spices.
Available for €244 from Brown Thomas
4/ Paco Rabanne Fame
If you want all eyes on you as you walk up the aisle, then you might like to consider Fame by Paco Rabanne. This is a big, bold bouquet of aromas, as feminine jasmine is given centre stage amongst a backdrop of fruits and vanilla. The bottle is also quite spellbinding in its own right.
Available for €139 from Boots.ie
5/ Hermès Eau de Basilic Pourpre
If you’re looking for something a little more statement-making, then try this green goddess, which puts fresh notes of basil in the spotlight. The earthy herb is elevated and enlivened by some sparkling bergamot while some florals round off the fragrance.This is another hit by perfumer Christine Nagel.
Available for €114 from Brown Thomas
6/ Louis Vuitton Étoile Filante
Native to Asia, the Osmanthus flower plays a central role in the production of Étoile Filante (shooting star).Think fruity notes of apricot and peach, elevated in the nose by sensual notes of jasmine and magnolia. It’s a particularly feminine fragrance that you’ll reach for again and again.
Available for €260 from Louis Vuitton
