The new elegant grown up hourglass silhouette of this autumn will demand more sophisticated old fashioned heady fragrances. The newest perfumes to attract attention have the traditional fragrance notes of violet, rose or lily. 1990s ozonic notes are not the flavour of the month this autumn.
Limited editions are also popular in perfumes. The latest reissue is of an old favourite of mine and is available exclusively from Harrods. The Harrods perfume department stock unusual and hard to find perfumes and if like me you have longed for years to have some Lancôme Magie eau de Parfum you can now buy it from Harrods this season.
Magie was launched in 1950. It has a great 50s feel to it, heavily loaded with rose and jasmine and is a memorable scent. You won't sneeze when you use this perfume. As soon as I heard of it being for sale again I rang Harrods to order some and it arrived just a few days later. DO NOT confuse this scent with Magie Noire.
Violet scents will also be on sale this autumn especially from Alexander McQueen and Anick Goutal. Both will have scents based primarily on violets. Miss Dior Cherie is the latest 2005 perfume from Dior launching anyday now. |
