Perfumes have always been an effective way for fashion houses to build and maintain a stable economy - which is more important now than ever given the cold financial climate.
And as consumers are more likely to buy a luxury perfume than a designer dress during hard times – this is indeed a good era for perfumistas.
Here are three of the most interesting new fragrances. © Cover Media
Bulgari Mon Jasmin Noir L’Eau Exquise This is a new edition of Mon Jasmin Noir that is described as fresh and ‘designed for Spring.’ The floral scent features pomelo and almond notes in the top of the composition, jasmine and white tea in the heart, and a musky base. Airy and interesting, this perfume launches in May 2012. |

John Galliano Parlez-Moi d’Amour Eau Fraîche All the Parlez-Moi d’Amour fragrances are based on the concept of a love letter, a rarity these days. In this third perfume the scents starts with a blend of grapefruit blossom and ginger. The heart is described as romantic, with white roses, jasmine and white currants. Fresh cypress and musk in the base give a forest character to the composition. A lovely, fruity fragrance. © Cover Media |
