Five of our favourites are listed below, and the full ten feature in Med, Mountains & More, our seasonal summer newspaper.
Balliamoby Bottega Veneta This summer, the Italian fashion house is expanding its perfume offerings with Alta, a new collection of 10 scents.
We will be wearing Balliamo – a heady combination of Italian white fig with American cedarwood – to the aperitivo.
A Sigh of Dawnby Frassaï For Natalia Outeda, the Argentine founder of Frassaï, the key to a good summer perfume is balance.
Her pick is A Sigh of Dawn, a crisp scent that combines notes of green mandarin, fig and cedarwood.
