www.womanthismonth.com March 2018 BEAUTY | fragrances 53 Bottega Veneta Knot Eau Absolue for the sophisticate Four years after the debut of Knot eau de parfum, Bottega Veneta introduces Knot Eau Absolue. The floral Oriental fragrance opens with the familiar essences of lavender and orange blossom. A delicate and complex sweetness of jasmine at the heart begins to differentiate Knot Eau Absolue from the original juice. The scent continues to intensify, culminating at the base veil of precious myrrh for a scent that’s both sophisticated and sensual. Available at leading retailers. My Burberry Black for the daring traveller The fragrance evokes a rainy London garden and bottles the sensual elements of a black Burberry trench coat against bare skin fusing the scent of sun-drenched jasmine flower and peach nectar with a touch of rose. This signature rose note at the heart of My Burberry is given a sweet and inviting candied twist, while rich amber patchouli rounds off the scent for a deep and captivating finish. Available at leading retailers. CH L’Eau for the beach babe This fragrance embodies the happiness and romantic beauty of a summer holiday. Notes include citrus spicy with Primofiore lemon, blood orange, Tunisian neroli, pink pepper and Guatemala cardamom; floral tea with Tunisian orange flower, petitgrain citonnier, ginger, rose essence and tea accord; and woody musk featuring Haiti vetiver, atlas cedarwood, patchouli, cashmeran and musk to create a light and bright, breezy juice that encapsulates the freshness and crispness of a new summer day. Available at leading retailers. L’Occitane Cherry Blossom for the busy mum This perennial favourite returns in a limited edition that’s light as air, sweet as sunshine and deliciously flowery. The collection combines juicy Luberon cherries extract and fresh cherry blossom floral water. Available at L’Occitane. Mugler Aura for the earth mother A woody aromatic fragrance served up in a bottle that is a work of art. The scent was created by Daphe Bugey, Amandine ClercMarie, Christophe Raynaud and Marie Salamagne and features rhubarb leaf, tiger liana, orange blossom, bourbon vanilla and wolfwood notes. It’s inspired by nature and the unknown sources at the heart of the living world. Available at leading retailers. Gucci Guilty Pour Femme for the authentic woman The perfect complement to the men’s scent, this fragrance began with the hint of blackberries growing in a wild forest evolving a classic chypre floral into a chypre fruity scent. Inside the scent’s notes, three hero ingredients define a new meaning of feeling free – taking the traditional masculine scent and making it her own – blackberry, Bulgarian rose and goldenwood. Perfumer Alberto Morillas blended these notes with bergamot, patchouli and ambergris to create a deep, musky and addictive scent. Available at leading retailers.
