Cartier Oud Vanillé Les Heures Voyageuses EDP 75ml, $490
A powdery-woody scent that is pure pleasure on the nose, Oud Vanillé from the Les Heures Voyageuses Collection is an update on the original l’Heure Perdue, an exquisitely sweet fragrance created in 2015. This new version presents a combination of two key ingredients — two accords that echo one another, united by their many facets: Oud, with its woody, animal notes and evocative power; and vanillin, with its powdery, sweet olfaction and highly addictive notes.
Penhaligon’s Highgrove Bouquet 100ml EDP, $310
A floral-woody scent described as “earthly sunshine”, Highgrove Bouquet is an ode to King Charles’ Highgrove Gardens country estate filled with weeping silver lime trees. Uplifting and floral, it opens with vibrant lavender and geranium. As floral, powdery notes appear, a shroud of delicate yellow blossoms fill the air, and tuberose brings longevity and depth, a solar storm of rich delight. The restful, soothing base is a blend of elegance and sophistication from cedar woods and orris.
