Tom Ford Beauty ‘Soleil Neige’ Eau de Parfum has a fresh and bright fragrance that’s reminiscent of a serene Alpine walk. It’s infused with top notes of Bergamot and Carrot Seed, a heart of Jasmine Grandiflorum and settles on a woody base that’s blended with Benzoin and Vanilla.

“SOLEIL NEIGE IS THE BRIGHT SIDE OF SOLEIL, A POLAR EXPRESSION TO SOLEIL BLANC’S SOLAR FLORAL. RADIANT WITH WINTER LIGHT, THE SCENT MIMICS THE SHIMMER OF SUN ON SNOW.” –TOM FORD

Haeckels GPS 21 ’30″E Fennel Eau de Parfum, 100ml

Haeckels utilises its coastal location to harvest and distil seaweed, ocean mud and marine minerals in its home and body products. The line is handcrafted in the brand’s clifftop laboratory in Margate, Kent.

Blended with peppery notes of Aniseed and a woody base of Balsamic, Haeckels GPS 21 ’30″E Fennel Eau de Parfum is a fresh and aromatic fragrance evoking the town’s Fennel-lined walking trails and the flower-laden salt marshes that lay next to the sea.

Timothy Han / EDITION She Came to Stay Eau de Parfum, 60ml

Echoing the freethinking themes of Ms Simone de Beauvoir’s 1943 existential novel She Came to Stay, this fragrance combines classic Geranium, Lemon and Basil with spicy heart and base notes of Indonesian Clove, Nutmeg, Patchouli and Cedarwood.

Frederic Malle The Moon Eau de Parfum, 100ml

Julien Rasquinet is one of Frederic Malle’s legendary perfumers who collaborate with perfume editor Frédéric Malle to create the luxury perfume brand’s unique fragrances. Part of desert gems collection, Frederic Malle The Moon Eau de Parfum is exuding a warm, opulent quality, rose, oud and frankincense meeting a surprising abundance of ripe red berries. In subtle evocation of the fruit-flavored shisha enjoyed across the region, the profusion of redcurrant and raspberry notes adds sweetness and color.

“The moon plays a leading role in conducting the rhythm of life in the Middle East, her ethereal appearance hailing the beginning and end of all festivity. Yet in Arabic, invoking the moon is also an allusion to romance — ‘my moon’; an adoringly grandiose term for one’s beloved that speaks of beauty and eternal devotion.” – Frederic Malle.
