5 Floral Fragrances for the End of Summer
by Verano Fragrance almost 3 years ago
Fresh, floral, warm and soft, inspired by Mediterranean orange gardens - our review features the best fragrances for the end of summer.
Memo, Lalibela
A beautiful bouquet of white flowers, accompanied by tobacco, frankincense and vanilla. Lalibela creates a festive mood and makes you feel like a guest at an exclusive high-society soirée, held in one of the "Asian tiger" countries. Tobacco smoke and incense blend with fragrant exotic blooms, waiters carry vanilla pastries on trays, and in the early morning, a fresh breeze carries the scent of warm salty water. Here, you'll find a soft rose, a delicate peony with a slight bitter undertone, and a powerful musk note.
Narciso Rodriguez, Fleur Musc For Her
An innocently pure floral fragrance with a clear retro style. It stands out with a bright tandem of patchouli and pepper and a musk, perhaps just slightly lighter than the Narciso Rodriguez flagship version. It's hard to describe it as a daytime fragrance: too long-lasting, loud, and pushy. However, it's well-suited for a party where you want to arrive with a jumper casually hanging over one shoulder.
Byredo, La Tulipe
One of the hits from the Swedish brand Byredo is not so much the scent of blooming tulips, but rather a pot-pourri of spring plants, the summer thunderstorms, soil, and freshly picked grass in your hand. At first, yes, you can recognize tulip, green, cold and aquatic; it's rather even a bouquet of tulips that has been standing in water for a couple of days. Then freesia appears, fresh and vibrant, followed by sour rhubarb. And in the end everything sinks into the cool morning air. La Tulipe is delicate and warm. A perfect "scent of the day" for the end of summer.
Mugler, Angel Muse
The sugar bombs from Mugler never disappoint. Angel Eau Sucree is addressed to lovers of overly sweet desserts. Candy lemon slices and unsweetened grapefruit juice turn into blackcurrant sorbet with sugar syrup and icy patchouli. However, the Eau Sucree version yields to the cosmic Angel Muse. Angel Muse reminds the Angel Eau de Toilette from 2011, but with notes of forest nuts and vetiver that blend perfectly with the classic Mugler patchouli note. In the base, vetiver and caramel with cream: unity and the struggle of opposites.
Givenchy, L`Interdit Edition Millesime
Over the past five years, the reissue of the legendary L`Interdit fragrance has been accompanied by several versions: Eau de Toilette, the floral-oriental Eau de Parfum Intense, hair mist and two millésimes: jasmine and orange blossom. In the L'Interdit Édition Millésime, orange blossom takes centre stage, enhanced by fresh ginger, delicate tuberose, neroli, and musk with hints of almond milk, blending with a woody note of vetiver and patchouli.
