Moths are drawn to flames like how the Her World Beauty team is attracted to perfumes. We can’t help but be enticed by them, particularly the beautiful and heady ones that make up the Gabrielle Chanel and Joy By Dior ranges.
With more scents branded to smell like summer or fall, we turned to fragrances you could hang onto longer than a season. Ahead, eight olfactory odes to versatility.
Can a scent be creamy and clean? Its three main notes (Grasse tuberose, jasmine, and orange blossom) open with freshness and warmth, and settles into soft and sweet, yet never cloying.
Available at Chanel fragrance and beauty counters.
The notes of jasmine, silician mandarin and cedarwood are always safe bets, the fragrance gets an extra push when blended with ylang-ylang. Soft, sweet, and fresh, Golden Citrine also gives a floral edge that’s not too cloying.
