A re-imagining of the classic scent, this latest incarnation of the brand’s blockbuster is well rounded, fruity and floral, with a surprising sprinkle of salt, peach and white flowers. One wear will have you dreaming of an endless summer.

This new member of Prada’s cult Candy family aligns with the house’s adage that more is more. From its pink pop-up bottle to the mix of sugared almond, cherry and musk, it’s a treat too pretty to resist.

To celebrate 75 years, Coach has unveiled yet another arresting fragrance. The polished cap references the all-American brand’s signature handbag hardware, while the pear, cedar and rose blend typifies its timeless quality.

A faceted bottle recalls the gemstone this scent is named for, while the perfume within represents the strong, sexy Michael Kors aesthetic. After a sweet start, its smooth wood and vanilla bean base is revealed.

The ultra-chic blend of lavender, musk and neroli that fills this vintage-inspired bottle marks it as the more grown-up of the Olsen twins’ recently released perfumes.

True to form, Jo Malone London delivers an all-encompassing cologne of elegant lavender and almond, plus a heady hit of myrrh. It’s like a cosy hug; splash it on and feel the love.

One half of a new day-night duo, this fragrance is built around Indian tuberose flowers in full bloom, picked at sunset. Ylang-ylang and amber give a fresh, rich and slightly exotic finish.

Creamy tonka bean and vanilla mingle with orange blossom, almond and pear, while white jasmine lingers long after you spritz. It’s as striking as it sounds and designed for the woman who loves to live life to the fullest.

In a nod to one of the famed jeweller’s sparkling floral brooches, this fragrance’s heart of iris—a recurring brand motif—is complemented by patchouli and musk, with zesty mandarin.

As the bottle and name suggest, Pure is a breath of fresh air. Cool and crisp, it blends an aquatic character with rose and citrus; the perfect choice for anyone who delights in clean, subtle scents.

Be transported to the ocean with just one spritz. Salty marine notes are layered over warm amber, making it the perfect signature for summer.

Bulgarian rose and raspberry top off a mouth-watering base of vanilla and praline in a delicious blend that ensures you’ll leave a lasting impression.

Sweeter than the original, Floral Shock swaps out the warmer notes for lemon and lime, but maintains the lightness of white flowers and the addictive coffee bean base.

Paying homage to the brand’s British heritage, perfumer
 Francis Kurkdjian and Burberry’s Christopher Bailey were inspired by a London garden at first light. Geranium, rose and wisteria are cut through with citrus and apple for a crisp take on florals.

Made for the free spirit who comes alive after dark, this scent is the luxury Italian brand’s tribute to the magic of Rome. Luscious black peony, musk and berries are offset by earthy patchouli and vetiver.
