Sephora shoppers say £30 scent is 'perfect for summer'
'I sprayed this perfume and did a whole workout and swam in the ocean and the scent was still there. I couldn't believe how long this lasted.' Sephora shoppers are raving over a 'perfect summer scent' that's available for £30. Candied Lychee by The 7 Virtues has been praised for its sweet and floral take on the fruity note that fragrance fans are loving. It opens up with a bright lychee note before settling into a floral heart of peony and rounding out with crystal amber and vanilla in the base. Lychee, vanilla and peony also make appearances in cult classic Delina by Parfums de Marly (£165 for 30ml), although Delina is said to be more powdery. Lychee has been quite a popular note in recent years, with Kayali's Eden Sparkling Lychee (£73 for 50ml) being a fast favourite. As the name suggests lychee is the star of the scent although other fruits and violet flowers make an appearance. Candied Lychee has pulled in an impressive 448 perfect five-star reviews, with one shopper saying: "This is a beautiful fragrance. It smells like a fresh lychee—sweet and a bit floral. I think it will be a perfect summer scent for me." A second penned: "I sprayed this perfume and did a whole workout and swam in the ocean and the scent was STILL there! I couldn't believe how long this lasted. This is my go-to everyday scent and it's perfect for summer in my opinion!" But a third reviewer was not totally impressed, saying: "Smells amazing but unfortunately does not have a staying power on my skin. That was so disappointing because I wish everyone could smell how good it is." A fourth added: "If you're a fan of sweet yet sophisticated scents, Candied Lychee is a must-try. It's perfect for those looking to add a fresh, fun, and feminine fragrance to their collection." It's always worth paying attention to application when applying a perfume. A tip is to generously apply perfume to all pulse points - in particular when skin is freshly washed and moisturised - for the most longevity. Shoppers can get their hands on the 'must-try' Candied Lychee for £30 a bottle on Sephora.

Tyla Channels Josephine Baker at the 2025 Met Gala
We can always count on Tyla to make a lasting impression, and tonight is no different. Though the singer often references her South African roots, at the 2025 Met Gala, she made 1920s Hollywood her muse. 'For Tyla's makeup, we were channeling vintage Hollywood glamour—icons like Josephine Baker, Dorothy Dandridge, and Jean Harlow—with a modern twist,' legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath tells Vogue . 'The look focused on sultry smokey eyes using warm nudes and deep browns, paired with tonal red lips in varying shapes.' For skin, McGrath relied on her Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection System, 'because Tyla's complexion is absolutely divine. We also played with the brow—arched, softened, and gently toned to echo a new kind of modern Hollywood.' True to form, the singer's Jacquemus look was equally glamorous—the white and blue striped gown with a floor-sweeping trench was adorned with Pandora jewels that added just the right glimmer. Even more, Tyla debuted a major hair transformation—swapping her braids for a blonde short cut styled with voluminous pin curls. The ultimate finishing touch? A few mists of Parfums de Marly's Valaya Hair Perfume for a luxuriously fruity, musky scent. Article originally published on Vogue US

Almond Fragrances Ideal For Spring
Parfums de Marly Valaya Exclusif Vanilla fragrances reign during the winter months but March and April present with some challenges for gourmand lovers as the note can feel heavy and cloying in warmer weather. Almond notes have seen a rise in popularity with perfume house Parfums de Marly choosing to feature the note in its latest flanker of the orange blossom-forward Valaya perfume. Additionally, influential perfume store Scent Bar recently collaborated with Greek perfumer Theodoros Kalotinis to create a photorealistic nutty pastry creation called Almond Tart. Internet analytics supports the rise in popularity of the nutty note with the search term 'almond perfume' seeing a 68% increase this year compared to 2024. According to Future Market Insights the global gourmand fragrance market is projected to grow from 32.55 billion in 2025 to 55 billion in 2035. Perfume brands are seeking to capitalize on consumer tastes for sweetness but recognize that a different way to scratch that itch may be necessary. Almond offers a lighter powdery alternative to caramel and vanilla, but still provides a warmth and coziness desirable this time of year. It's an extremely versatile note that can enhance white florals or provide a beautiful creaminess without being too heavy. Here are some of the best almond perfumes from new designer launches to several niche classics that display the almond note in its various incarnations whether it be fresh, floral or creamy. All are sure to offer a nice alternative to your favorite vanilla fragrance. Parfums de Marly Valaya Exclusif Parfums de Marly Valaya Exclusif The original Valaya is often seen as the equivalent of a freshly-laundered white-buttoned down shirt, but some feel the peach and ambroxan create an undesirable screechiness. The Exclusif version still has the original's bright orange blossom, but replaces the peach opening with a creamy almond note. The result is stunning and more subtle, but equally as elegant. Chanel Comete Chanel Les Exclusif COMÈTE The Chanel Les Exclusifs line has produced some modern day classics like the white chocolate patchouli masterpiece Coromandel or the bold animalic statement fragrance Le Lion, but Olivier Polge has created the house's most luminous fragrance yet with COMÈTE. It opens with Chanel's signature sparkling aldehydes and seasonally-appropriate cherry blossom; heliotrope provides the creaminess of a floral almond and combines seamlessly with iris for a lovely powdery dry down. Powdery scents are trending in 2025 and Chanel as always. is leading the perfume pack with this floral gem. Keiko Mecheri Loukhoum Keiko Mecheri Loukhoum No list featuring almond-forward perfumes would be complete without Loukhoum. Originally launched in 2006, this scent is a powder bomb in the best way. The scent features rose and almond and is meant to emulate the dense richness of Turkish Delight. It's perfect for cooler spring evenings and makes a statement without overpowering the wearer. Profvmvm Roma Confetto Profvmvm Roma Confetto Many fragrance aficionados consider Confetto the ultimate almond fragrance with incredible lasting power. Profumum Roma perfumes feature extremely high fragrance oil concentrations often in the 40% range and their compositions are purposefully linear in order to highlight a star ingredient. Confetto is meant to evoke the sweetness of Italian sugared almonds with a combo of almond, a spicy hint of anise and a vanillic base. Creed Delphinus Creed Delphinus Inspired by the radiant Delphinus constellation this fragrance is meant to capture the beauty of starlight. The bit of incense in the opening make it an ideal night time fragrance while almond, heliotrope and orris lend a nutty sweetness and earthiness. Regime des Fleurs Green Vanille Regime des Fleurs Green Vanille This is a vanilla returning to its wilder roots thanks to a combo of green hazelnut, blue chamomile and almond milk. Orgasmo by Hilde Soliani Orgasmo by Hilde Soliani This is an intoxicating combo of Italian amaretto and almond. Italian perfumer Hilde Soliani is known for creating perfumes that evoke a specific memory often drawing inspiration from the culinary world. The idea for this fragrance came to her while sipping an iced almond milk coffee at the beach with friends. Van Cleef & Arpels Bois D'Amande Van Cleef & Arpels Bois D'Amande This is a timeless oriental wood made fresh with a hint of lemon. The delicate sweet almond accord mixed with cedar lends it a depth ideal for transitional weather. The addictive musky dry down makes this perfect for every day wear.

10 Noteworthy Fragrances To Buy On National Fragrance Day 2025
Krigler boutique at the Ritz Carlton Hotel Whether you are a compulsive collector and an addict to additions to your fragrance wardrobe — switching up scents between seasons and life phases — or a signature single-scent devotee, you likely experience one (or many) that can transport you to a specific time and place. With notes and descriptions similar to the pretension of fine wine, luxury brands take fragrance very seriously. After all, they can define an entire phase, era, or lifetime for an individual. In honor of National Fragrance Day, here are 10 noteworthy notes to dive into and get the courage to blind-buy. Parfums de Marly Paris Delina Parfums de Marly Paris Delina For the floral fragrance lover, this iconic French brand brings together a beautiful bouquet of Damascena Rose, Rhubarb, Lychee, Bergamot, Vanilla, and Musk. Floral-forward enthusiasts will revel in the all-day lasting power of this award-winning fragrance. Fan of Delina? You will also love Valaya. Parfums de Marly Paris Delina $390 (75 ml) If there were a dictionary definition for famous luxury fragrance houses, Krigler would be right there next to the phrase. The history behind Krigler's signature and bespoke scents span decades of royalty, presidents, artists, and bon vivants. One could write a book about every bottle. President John F. Kennedy famously wore the brand's America One 31, as did Ernest Hemingway. For a lover of Italy and citrus, Villa Bordighera was created in 1920 by Albert Krigler as a commission for famous Italian playwright Giuseppe Adami. The goal? To transport Mr. Adami to his favorite vacation place: Bordighera. A fresh, bergamot-forward scent with notes of grapefruit, lemon, jasmine, and cashmere wood — this is a must-have for every fragrance wardrobe. The family-run perfumers are even said to create your own custom commission for just around $60,000. What better way to leave a lasting legacy? Krigler Villa Bordighera 20 $595 (50 ml) Krigler Villa Bordighera 20 The coveted Tokyo city-exclusive fragrance, fans of Gaiac 10 can only purchase this pristine, airy, scent in Japan or globally during Le Labo's city-exclusive month (typically August - September.) If you already own the bottle, you can refill it any time of the year at any Le Labo counter. But purchase it? You'll have to wait until September or book a trip to Tokyo. Based on gaiac wood, this scent is intoxicatingly musky but light. Strangers will trail you from restaurants and grocery stores to ask the coveted question, 'What are you wearing?' Le Labo Gaiac 10 Le Labo Gaiac Famed, perfectionist perfumer Dominque Ropion created this perfect perfume with 400 Turkish roses per 100ml bottle. Mr. Ropion, also known as 'the master of flowers', displays his mastery in Portrait of a Lady. The cult classic celebrated its 15th anniversary this year. Loved and worn by icons like Madonna and David Beckham, Portrait of a Lady is a must-have for the rose and amber lover in your life — especially if that lover is you. Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle Portrait of a Lady, $295 (50ml) Portrait of a Lady As its name suggests, cult classic Molecule 01 features just one molecule ingredient: Iso E Super. Subtle and undetectable on your own skin, famous perfumer Geza Schoen discovered this ingredient alone creates somewhat of an animal attraction to the wearer. Known to expand the individual's natural pheromones, Molecule 01 can be layered or worn alone. This is a very confident blind-buy. Beware: You will be more attractive to everyone around you. Escentric Molecules, Molecule 01 $150 (100ml) Molecule 01 From Paris-based perfumer L'Officine Universelle Buly, their water-based unisex fragrances are light but intoxicating. Don't let the water fool you, these scents linger. Their Paris outpost is like a walk back in time to a high-level alchemist from the turn of the 19th century. Fragrance experts who know, know. Eau Triple Komi Forest is a divine, woody, rainy, light pine musk. Inspired by Russian novelist and poet Boris Pasternak's Lyubka, or 'lover', anyone will fall in love with this ornate packaging and product. Eau Triple Komi Forest In 2016, perfumer Christine Nagel created this beautifully fresh fragrance. A long-lingering perfume, this rhubarb-forward blend mixed with light citrus and musk makes this crisp creation the perfect spring or summer companion. Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate, Hermes ($205) Eau de rhubarbe ecarlate Designed for lovers of rare tastes, this oud-forward, musk heavy fragrance is must-buy for any oud lover. Master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud added hints of raspberry to take a bit of the edge off the strong, intoxicating wet leather scent. Ombre Nomade, Louis Vuitton $410 (100 ml) Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade No one can discuss luxury, high-level, fragrances without mentioning Bond No. 9. The iconic unisex perfumer is famous for 'Making Scents of New York'. One of their newest debuts, Gold Street is a gorgeous blend of French leather, suede, pink pepper, and Madagascar vanilla. Truly intoxicating and with lasting power that could outlive most — it really is worth its weight in gold. Those looking for a lighter more feminine scent, try Greenwich Village — a fragrance fan's summer staple. Gold Street, Bond No. 9 $490 (100 ml) Gold Street Bond No. 9 Byredo never disappoints, but when they unveiled a line of perfume extracts, the true fragrance fanatics came running. The star of the brand's 'Night Veils' collection of purely distilled perfume essences, Reine de Nuit rings true to its meaning, 'Queen of the Night' — and that's exactly how you feel when you spray this ultra-luxurious blackcurrant, saffron, incense, and rose-rooted fragrance. If you're going to blind-buy one luxury fragrance this year, let it be this one. Reine de Nuit, Byredo $400 (50 ml) Reine de Nuit, Byredo
