From ‘neo-gourmands’ to rich ambers, these latest drops are tempting buyers in the market for a splash of affordable luxury
Do not expect Pop-Tarts in a bottle – Gavarry says these scents elevate traditional food notes “to a more refined and artistic level, incorporating unconventional, unexpected or contrasting notes such as savoury, green or woody elements”. In addition to the warmth and comfort of neo-gourmands, another autumn trend he predicts is the long-lasting richness of amber fragrances.
Here are the season’s best scents, including one that originated in an unexpected locale and a US$25,000 show-stopper.
Bois d’Argent, first released in 2004, is part of Dior’s La Collection Privée’s original trio. This year, Francis Kurkdjian, the venerable Parisian house’s perfume creation director, reimagined the scent while honouring its roots. The powdery character of Bois d’Argent Esprit de Parfum is achieved through a blend of Tuscan iris, frankincense accord, balsam, vanilla and white honey. US$470 for 2.7 oz.
