Fragrance has turned up the volume this season
The modern lipstick “wardrobe” probably contains at least three or four colours. You might have a shade that’s just a little deeper than your natural lip tone; maybe a brownish-pink; and then a bright red for when you feel like turning up the volume. With perfume, there’s less variety when it comes to making an impact. Since 1980s blockbusters such as Giorgio Beverly Hills, Dior’s Poison and Obsession by Calvin Klein, fragrance trends have been understated to the point of barely audible.
What does expensive smell like? A common palette of notes runs through many of these new scents: patchouli, saffron, oud, woody and smoky notes, and spices. Whereas the big perfumes of the 1980s often overdosed on big florals, these new perfumes have a sleeker feel; the woods and spices impress themselves firmly but gently. They are big, but they are also clever. From LBTY, Liberty’s new own-label perfume collection, Tudor , by perfumer Pierre Negrin is sophisticatedly self-assured.
