Truly Unique Fragrances
The fragrance industry is big biz, and we get it. We instantly like people more if they smell good. Shallow, us? No. We don’t think so. That’s what nostrils are for after-all.
But what we’ve started noticing is that everyone smells the same.
We’ve been there. We’ve splurged on the latest and greatest highly anticipated fragrances because a) that bottle needs to live on our shelves, b) we’re suckers for pretty much every new cult fragrance or c) it just smells damn delicious. But whatever the reason, the outcome is the same – we rock-up at dinner, and at least one other person is within a 1m radius is bound to be wearing it too (FYI, not ok).
The catch is, truly unique fragrances (that don’t make you gag) are hard to come by.
That’s why we’ve done the legwork for you and unearthed 7 truly unique fragrances that are worth your hard-earned $$$.
Which one are you?
By Carmen Hamilton.
One word: exquisite. It’s kind of a fashion girl pre-requisite. Why? It’s the perfect balance – not too sweet, not too girly and a little bit smokey.
Lumira Paradisium Eau de Parfum
We’ve been hooked on Paradisium ever since we first smelt it. The scent is truly unique. It’s sexy, smokey and fruity – all of our favourite scents in one.
If you’re looking for something that feels really bespoke and niche, this is it. It’s not too light, and definitely not too heavy – so you can wear it 24/7.
Ok, this one’s for the girl who sleeps in her make-up, and applies her fragrance before work in anticipation of picking-up later.
You literally only need one spritz of this. ‘Intense’ is no understatement.
Spicy. Sweet. Unexpected. We can’t get enough of Eau Duelle. If you’re ready to move on from Philosykos, make this your next stop.
If you like something that stays with you for the whole day, The AYU’s Souq is our current obsession. This nautral floral-scented oil is potent, guys. You literally only need a tiny dot on the wrist and away you go.
We’re not usually into anything overly ‘floral’, but sandalwood brings this oil back down to earth. Trust us, it’s so damn good we just can’t stop sniffing ourselves, as weird as that sounds.
Calling all #bossladies.
CDG + guys + girls + pepper + liquorice and leather. Seriously, what more could you want?
Think warm. Think intense. Think citrus.
If you like people to notice your scent before they notice you, this one’s for you.
