The most common notes? Definitely vanilla, but also fruity touches like pear and mango, floral notes such as rose and heliotrope, and creamy woods like sandalwood, plus rich amber accords.
Among the standout options is Love Delight by the Omani brand Amouage. During an exclusive masterclass at Olfattorio Bar à Parfum in Milan, Creative Director Renaud Salmon shared the story behind this intriguing and refined scent.
He explained: 'I was in a bakery in Muscat, and at one point the baker opened a large oven and the room filled with the most wonderful aroma. I looked over and he was baking little cakes. Honey-glazed sponge-like pastries topped with almonds, saffron, and cardamom. I thought: I love this smell, that aroma you get when opening the oven, especially when baking a cake. With Love Delight , I wanted to capture that.' The 10 Best Sweet & Sophisticated Perfumes of the Moment

Tom Jones' late wife's last advice to him as he prepared to lose love of life
Sir Tom Jones was married to his wife Melinda "Linda" Trenchard for 59 years before she died in 2016, and the legendary singer has opened up on her tragic advice to him Sir Tom Jones has opened up about the heart-wrenching final words from his late wife before she succumbed to cancer. The iconic singer was by Melinda "Linda" Trenchard's side during her last days after a life together that spanned 59 years, from their marriage in 1957 until her death in 2016. Celebrating his 85th birthday, Sir Tom recounted the profound advice Linda gave him. Speaking on BBC 's Sounds of the 60s with Tony Blackburn, he shared: "When my wife knew that she had terminal cancer, I was with her for the last 10 days in hospital in the room with her. "She said, 'Look I gotta leave, but you don't fall with me. I'm going down, I know, there's nothing I can do about it but don't you do that.'". He continued to reveal how his beloved Linda urged him to persevere and how those words not only helped him through his grief but also guide him when advising young artists today. "She told me, 'Don't you fall with me, you've got to keep going, you've got to get on stage. You've still got songs to sing and think of me when you do it'." Tom reflected on the levity Linda brought to his life, underlining the importance of laughter and remembrance. He went on to express how Linda's memory gave him the fortitude to carry on with his career despite considering retirement in the wake of her passing, reports Wales Online. "She loved jokes and I used to make her laugh a lot so. Now, she gives me strength as when she passed away I thought I was gonna crumble." Noting the challenge of managing emotions while performing, Sir Tom disclosed how close he came to ending his singing career due to overwhelming emotion: "I almost packed it in. I didn't think I could sing anymore because you can't get too emotional sing when you sing because your voice won't come out." Sir Tom Jones has shared some sage advice for aspiring vocalists, saying, "This is what I say to singers now, you take the emotion and then you work it into the song, get it through, but don't get too involved with it because then you'll cry and you won't be able to sing." Celebrating a milestone, the legendary singer announced on his Instagram: "I'm celebrating my 85th birthday this Saturday! and am thrilled to be sharing a very special concert performance - 'Live on Soundstage 2017' for the first time on my YouTube channel." In addition to joining Tony Blackburn on the BBC, Sir Tom is set to feature in a BBC Arts programme called In My Own Words, as reported by GB News. Reflecting on the opportunity, the iconic Sex Bomb singer expressed: "Taking the time to look back at some of the extraordinary things that have happened in my life for In My Own Words has been really enjoyable and thought-provoking. "Some of the archive I'd not seen before, and watching snippets of those past times, places, styles, and struggles brought home how lucky I am. "Being able to spend the day in the first house I ever owned brought back so many memories... I hope everyone enjoys watching it as much as I did making it!".

Cork boss Pat Ryan makes penalty admission after his side reclaim Munster title
Jubilant Cork boss Pat Ryan hailed his side's fighting qualities as they bounced back from a 16-point drubbing to take the Munster title. Limerick's long reign in the province is over after a dramatic penalty shootout saw their seven-in-a-row dreams dashed as Cork ran out 3-2 winners with the sides were deadlocked at 2-27 to 1-30 after extra time as Darragh Fitzgibbon's last gasp 65 saved a draw for the Rebels. It came just three weeks after Limerick destroyed them at the TUS Gaelic Grounds in the round robin phase, but they're now Munster champions for the first time since 2018. Ryan said: 'We didn't fight the last time we came up here and the lads, look, obviously they worked really hard, we fought really, really hard. 'It just took penalties to separate us and we're just delighted to get the trophy.' He added: 'We know that we're a really, really good team. But it's the same with every other team, there's loads of good teams out there and it's all about the attitude you bring and whether you're going to fight. 'We fought today really, really hard. We were missing a couple of fellas, a couple of bodies came on and sometimes that actually freshens up the team. 'I thought the lads came off the bench today and did a fantastic job. Robbie O'Flynn, Tommy O'Connell, Shane Kingston, I thought they were really, really good.' Cork scored three of the four penalties they took as Conor Lehane, Shane Kingston and Alan Connolly converted while Fitzgibbon saw his effort saved, though Ryan admitted they hadn't gone through a penalty routine collectively in the build-up to the game. 'None, none,' he said. "All the lads are practising a lot, I think. We had really, really good confidence in them. Eoin Downey probably practised more penalties than anyone.' Ryan has been at pains to keep a lid on the hype on Leeside this year, particularly when they stormed to a League title, and he said: "We won by penalties against a brilliant Limerick team. Do you know what I mean? 'This is just the start. This is just one thing. We move on to the All-Ireland series, the semi-finals. We know we're a really good team. 'We saw what we were like when we were not at it three weeks ago. Three or four weeks ago. That's all to play for. We're really looking forward to going to the Leinster final.' Ahead of an All-Ireland semi-final on July 5 as Limerick head for a quarter-final, Ryan added: "This is one less game. This is probably three or four weeks off. It's probably going to take a bit of managing now. That's something that we haven't accounted for before. 'Limerick have plenty of experience of how they deal with that. That's your four weeks off to manage properly and probably get a bit of advice from fellas that have done it before.'
