Hit the high notes
Like your party wardrobe, it’s time to change your scent
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:
NINA PRECIOUS EDITION BY NINA RICCI
£44 FOR 80ml
This limited-edition bottle for the festive season is decorated by Swarovski and contains the classic Nina scent. It keeps its signature apple shape which reflects the base notes of musk and applewood.
ALBERTA FERRETTI
£62 FOR 75 ml
As the first signature fragrance to be launched by the fashion designer, it’s no surprise that the design of the bottle – faceted base with a jewel-like effect – is as important as what’s in it. The woody scent (with a golden amber base) only comes as an eau de parfum.
WHITE PATCHOULI BY TOM FORD
£43.45 FOR 50ml
AT TRAVEL RETAILING
The new women’s scent from the style king is a modern interpretation of classic patchouli. The minimalist chic of the bottle is a clue: think cleaned up patchouli for Upper East Side ladies.

£95 FOR 50ml
For the first time, the French fragrance house for high rollers is available to buy in the UK – stocked exclusively at Liberty.

FLEUR ORIENTAL BY MILLER HARRIS
bmi ONBOARD EXCLUSIVE £32 FOR 50ml – SAVE £7

VANILLA & ANISE BY JO MALONE
£25.60 FOR 30ml
THROUGH TRAVEL RETAILING
The latest offering from Jo Malone is pretty far from traditional sweet vanilla so definitely one for modernists. It needs several spritzes to be layered before the scent actually takes hold, but the tonka-bean warmth makes it great for daytime.

AROMATICS ELIXIR BY CLINIQUE
£41 FOR 45ml
It has established itself as a classic since launching in 1975 as Clinique’s first scent. Despite the strong floral notes at the heart, the woody sexiness of this comes from patchouli.

WHITE BERGAMOT EAU DE TOILETTE
BY BSQ NATURAL COUTURE
£20 FOR 30ml
This would suit women who prefer a crisp winter day scent. Bergamot, neroli and mandarin make it a more refreshing choice.
