fragrances
Our favourite designer
man scents have had a
seasonal makeover
one are the days when one female relative-bought bottle
of splash lasted all year round. The world has moved on
and the fragrance industry has followed, bringing out
special editions of their best-selling scents every spring,
tweaking the formulas to give them a more on-trend
seasonal slant. For some that means amplifying the
zesty citrus zing,
for others upping the cooling aquatic and sea-air notes.
In the majority, th the core of the fragrance, however, remains unchanged,
so as not to lose tthe
DNA and, consequently, the fan base of the signature
scent from which
it stems.
Only available
for a limited period – officially until the end of summer,
unofficially until stocks s
last – these special concoctions have the dual
appeal of exclusivity exclusi while also being the scent of
a summer holiday, holida with fragrance a great portal
to past experiences.
