A scented journey

The classic rose is reimagined with d'Annam's Da Lat, $205, a composition that pays homage to the city of Da Lat in Vietnam. The petals take on an intoxicating richness as they unfold, interwoven with a velvety red wine infusion—a local delicacy. This interplay lends a subtle tartness, gently lifted by a softer blend of magnolia and peony that reveal themselves as the scent settles on the skin, leaving a lingering impression of quiet, understated elegance.

Coastline in reverie

When crafting Dioriviera by Dior, $480 for 100ml, Francis Kurkdjian captured the radiant essence of the South of France. He drew inspiration from lush rose gardens flourishing beneath a blazing sky and the gentle, almost honeyed warmth of fig leaves stirred by the enduring summer air. The fragrance unfolds as a captivating blend of irresistible floral and green notes, evoking the region at its most effusive.
