Fragrant fashionistas are slaves to seasonal scents. Keep a nose ahead of the style squad by getting your hands on these new autumnal perfumes which look almost as beautiful as they smell
- Perfect for vintage-loving vixens, reminiscent of a bygone era, Gardnia from Isabey captures the essence of the flower. Orange flowers, rose and ylang ylang lift the fragrance while the musk and sandalwood provide a lasting base. www.lessenteurs.com
- If you've bought the bling, why not buy the bouquet? The rarely used scent of the iris flower married with Bulgarian rosebud, is the basis for Omnia Amethyste, the Italian Renaissance-inspired fragrance by Bvlgari. The blue-hued, tactile casing, will also provide the perfect adornment for your dressing table. www.bvlgari.com
- Preening queens will covet Cleopatra, the seductive eau de parfum from Tocca. Fruity sweet and sour top notes of cassis and sparkling grapefruit dance around the middle florals, tuberose and jasmine, with the core formed of patchouli, musk and amber. shop.tocca.com
- Those following their nose rather than fad will be drawn to E.Coudray's Esperys. Established in 1822, E.Coudray is one of the world's oldest perfumeries, famous for supplying the royal courts of Europe. For the latest addition to their catalogue, they have blended notes of rose, caramel and patchouli to round off a rich base of tonka beans, white musk and bourbon vanilla. www.lessenteurs.com
- The biggest buzz in the olfactory world has been about the world's only Professeur de Parfums, Roja Dove's Trilogy launch. Give the world something to talk about by spraying on the floral Scandal, while those drawn to Chypre scents should keep their lips sealed about Unspoken. Sexy sirens should opt for Enslaved. www.rojadove.com
- The 'floriental' Montaigne from Caron blends sensual oriental wood and spice scents with fresh blossoms. Base notes of West Indies vanilla, amber and Mysore sandalwood are accented with daffodil, jasmine and bitter orange. www.parfumscaron.com
