The perfect fragrance for...
... meeting your partner's predatory work mates:
Tom Ford's Black Orchid
It's bold and brash. It speaks volumes about huge self-confidence. Above all, you won't go unnoticed.
... going to the cinema or theatre:
Balenciaga's Paris or Christian Dior's Escale a Pondicherry
Stylish and understated. Not going to generate a coughing carnival amongst your fellow audience members.
... meeting your husband's ex wife:
Jean Patou's Joy
They say it smells of dirty pants. The ex will get the message.
... going shopping.
Hugo Boss's Orange
This zesty fragrance is going to give you the energy you need to get back in that changing room — even when nothing seems to work.
... getting that beach feeling:
Annick Goutal's Eau du Sud or Clarins' Eau Dynamisante
Both fabulous summertime fragrances. Will bring the summer to you.
... feeling independent:
Tauer's L'Air du Desert Marocain
Inspiringly unique. Will give you the confidence to stand alone when you need to.
... meeting your children's headmistress:
L'Artisan Parumeur's La Chasse aux Papillons
If this beautiful fragrance isn't going to make you feel houlier than thou, then nothing will.
... wallowing in self pity with a broken heart:
Mark Buxton's Wood & Absinth
A heartbreaker of a fragrance. Bring on the tears.
... a first date:
Bvlgari's Jasmin Noir
First date is a tough call but Jasmin Noir manages to be floral and very sexy at the same time.
... going to the gym:
Coco Mademoiselle
Let's be honest going to the gym is a chore any way you look at it. At least you can smell like a lady whilst you're there.
... going to sleep:
Diptyque's Philosykos or Miller Harris's Noix de Tubereuse
These are both ultimate soothing fragrances. Lovely. Lovely. Lovely.
