Tara Mantra by Gri Gri
A riotous clash between incense and bubblegum.
Hummingbird by Zoologist
Honey, fruity, floral but staying the right side of sickly. An easy way to wear a very cool line.
6781 by Moods of Norway
Fancy a cornetto on Skegness seafront? Just kidding.
Bal D’Afrique by Byredo
Sunny, summery but unisex. Great for a miserable Spring day!
Rhinoceros by Zoologist
The scent of a refined gentleman. Phileas Fogg probably smelt like this.
Bois Naufrage by Parfumerie Generale

A rose-heavy perfume that lasts all day. Only for those who love their florals though.
Pluie de Soleil by Phaedon
Sophisticated and soft fruity notes but don’t expect this ‘burst of summer’ scent to hang around.
Tonkamande by Parfumerie Generale
Autumn strolling the streets of Paris and stopping off in a French patisserie!
Palo Santo by Carner Barcelona
Burnt wood and sweetness from this Spanish fragrance house.
Stella by Tocca
Soothing, fruity, invigorating. What’s not to like?
