ROSE

Dior J’Adore Eau de Parfum, $150 (285ml), blends Damask rose with ylang-ylang and jasmine for a delicate, elegant scent. Its new 150ml flacon comes in a luxurious gift box, but if you’re pairing this with any bath product, do request for the complimentary Art of Gifting wrapping service (available at selected Dior counters for the month of May). 

PEONY

L’Occitane Pivoine Flora Eau de Toilette, $78 (75ml), captures the elusive, exquisite moment when the peony flower is between bud and bloom. The fragrance first sparkles with bergamot and grapefruit, before softening into peony and finally drying down to sandalwood and musk.      

 

VIOLET

Les Exclusifs de Chanel Misia, from $238 (75ml), marks the debut of perfumer Olivier Polge (who succeeded his father Jacques) for the maison. Inspired by Coco Chanel’s close friend Misia Sert, this scent is lush, yet fresh, with the powdery gentleness of violet set off by Grasse rose and tonka bean.

WHITE FREESIA

Kenzo FlowerByKenzo L’eau Originelle Eau de Toilette, from $79 (30ml), refreshes the original FlowerByKenzo with ginger flower, white freesia and white peony, evoking the purity and magnificence of the rare white poppy. Aquatic accords also keep this scent lighter and brighter than its predecessor.
