As any fashionista is well aware, a well-chosen scent can elevate any outfit to a whole new level. As spring unfolds into summer, the world’s leading perfumers have unveiled a slew of seasonally-inspired new perfumes for you to add to your collection. Here are three particular scents that merit special mention.

Paris-headquartered Lancôme prides itself on its unceasing quest to make life ever more beautiful with its crystal-bottled La Vie Est Belle – a feminine combination of bergamot, jasmine and rose – the latest in its aromatic armoury. With its floral notes having an innately sensuous appeal, a contrastingly light dash of creamy sandalwood adds a surprisingly grounded counterpoint, making this one of the must-have scents for the coming summer season.

Not to be outdone, Penhaligon’s, one of Britain’s foremost fragrance houses, has added two new stunning scents to its Portraits portfolio – The Ingénue Cousin Flora and The Impudent Cousin Matthew. While the former ably captures a refreshing innocence with its citrus notes and musky beats, the latter manifests more of a mischievous tone, courtesy of its capering notes of patchouli and warm spice.

The good people at Il Profvmo, meanwhile, clearly remain committed to supplying true romantics with the sweetest possible scent, with its new Fleur De Cerisier able proof of that particular proposition. While remaining true to its Italian roots, the fragrance takes apt inspiration from Japan’s flowering sakura season, granting the scent welcome notes of the freshest blossoms and a beguiling splash of cherry liqueur.
