10 new fragrances as a gift
Text: Alexander Sumenkov
To not run with bulging eyes at half-empty malls in the last week before the New Year, we are picking up gifts now and we all wish the same. Today we remember the cool fragrances released this year, and tell you more about them.
Jo Malone Christmas Collection
Jo Malone is one of the brands that comes to mind first when you want to make a gift. Her packaging is always elegant, and sometimes the issue with the fragrances themselves is secondary. Although they are always all right, so you can choose as a gift at least the famous Pomegranate Noir, even if any unknown. And you can also mix them and give your own flavor or - a simpler option - a ready-made set of a wonderful Christmas collection.
Aroma Amouage Lyric Swarovski
If you choose from the female smells of Amouage, Lyric is one of the most poetic. There are a lot of scents on roses and they are popular, but Lyric is good if you are sure that it will be appreciated. It is a rich aroma, but not flashy - soft and enveloping. The limited bottle is packed in a wooden lacquered box, and a rose is depicted on the lid of the box.
Atomizer Aedes de Venustas Purse Spray
The iconic New York brand Aedes de Venustas cannot even make an atomizer ordinary - from the standard bottle he got a cap with an engraved symbol of a perfume house. Atomizer can be completed with Signature and Iris Nazarena fragrances: they are sold in convenient sets with three 10-ml bottles.
Aroma Les Liquides Imaginaires Les Humeurs Lacrima
A new trilogy of the French brand Les Liquides Imaginaires is devoted to the idea of perfume as an antidote. Decorated like pharmacy, porcelain vessels require non-trivial circulation to themselves - flavors should be applied to certain places. Lacrima, for example - on the cheekbones or handkerchief. According to the brand, the fragrance is designed to dispel spiritual doubts, which is especially important in view of spending on the upcoming holidays.
Evody Ombre Fumée Scent
The French brand Evody Parfums released its first collection in 2008. These were the olfactory incarnations of eight autobiographical memories of Regin Droan and her daughter Serin Vasner, the creators of the brand. This year, the Collection d'Ailleurs series has appeared. Ombre Fumée, which is included in it, is interesting because it combined the two strongest trends of this year: to retroaromat and East. Its distinguishing feature is the ability to instantly surprise.
Aroma of Boadicea the Victorious Almas
Almas was released last year, and before that it could only be found at Harrods in London, but now he has reached Russia. A luxurious bottle: a handmade shield with a Celtic cross in the center and a leather case. The composition does not lag behind, all the most expensive in perfumery - here: Turkish rose, Indian jasmine, Tunisian neroli and, of course, beats.
Aroma Montale Aoud Night
We do not know the brand more universally as a perfume gift than Montale. Although the flavors on the topic of ud and came out this year in large numbers, they still remain one of the most popular. In Aoud Night there is actually beats, patchouli and bergamot. Add here a bottle of wine, a company of best friends - and that’s all you need for cold winter days.
Aroma Maison Francis Kurkdjian Féminin Pluriel
The perfumer Francis Kyurkjyan may get confused and release something similar to his collection, complex and heavy aromas are not for everyone, but can create light and sparkling compositions for each day. Floral Pluriel - confirmation of the latter. The pink bottle seems to hint that lightheadedness is always appropriate (if you don’t go too far with it).
Scent of Guerlain Le Bolshoï Black Swan
It was fashionable to dedicate the flavors of Russia this year, but for Guerlain this is almost a tradition. Black Swan - their next creation on the theme of the Bolshoi Theater, this time in honor of the 175th anniversary of Pyotr Tchaikovsky and his ballet Swan Lake. The perfumer Thierry Wasser dedicated the fragrance of the black swan Odile party and chose sandalwood for its fragrance. Perhaps theater tickets would be cheaper, but the aroma can be enjoyed longer.
Scent by Paul Emilien Une Belle Journée
New brand Paul Emilien recently settled in Russia, but has already won many fans thanks to interesting compositions and memorable design. “Beautiful day”, their last fragrance, is presented in a blue velvet case, the color of which hints that no less airy composition of citrus, violet and iris awaits inside.
