How to find your fragrance match this party season

Your outfit is planned and accessories chosen, now it’s time for the final detail: selecting the fragrance that will help you turn heads at your next big event. When you find a scent that matches your style, it gives you the confidence of knowing you’re presenting the very best version of yourself from the moment you walk in the room. With event season approaching, here are our perfume picks for every occasion and dress code.

For a girls’ brunch

Unabashedly playful, Neon Moon Parfum is the kind of fragrance that will have all your girlfriends begging for the details. The opening refrain is sweet and spicy, with luscious apricot and zingy pink pepper imparting a frisson of excitement. As it mellows, white amber and sandalwood offer a rich, woody foundation for lasting depth. Neon Moon is a youthful but sophisticated scent, with a candied sweetness that promises good times ahead.

For the dancefloor

If you prefer a fresh and fruity floral scent as you dance the night away, Sun Soaked Parfum is positively charming. Crisp green pear, fizzy blackcurrant and juicy grape sweep you off your feet, before sweet honeysuckle casts its spell. An ode to the playful days and heady nights of summer, Sun Soaked channels a vibrant and carefree feeling that beckons all year round.

For afternoon cocktails

A shimmering citrus as giddy as a glass of Champagne, Bois d'épices Parfum is an instant mood-elevator. Like all the best cocktail parties, it imparts an effervescent zing that makes the spirit sing, with a spicy twist that adds an all-important dash of intrigue. It’s heavy on vibrant grapefruit and lemon, with comforting sandalwood, amber and guaiac wood in the drydown. The ultimate feelgood fragrance.

For a black-tie gala

When you need to dial up the glamour, Cuban Tobacco Parfum is the answer. This rich woody scent is full of surprises, from the honeyed sweetness of its namesake tobacco to the smokiness of cloves and the slightly bitter scent of tangerine. There’s a timelessness about it that’s well suited to wearing with a classic gown or tuxedo.

For evening revelry

If you’re looking for a versatile fragrance that can take you through a full calendar of events – from after-work drinks to elegant dinner parties – look no further than Desert Nights Parfum. This is a beautifully wearable scent, olfactively well-rounded with a balance of sweet and spicy notes. The honeyed top notes serve as a counterpoint to a mysterious and velvety base of patchouli, sandalwood and oud.
