Putting on the spritz

Paul Smith Woman by Paul Smith, £30 for 50ml/ #42 for 100ml This cool London-based designer reckons 'a perfume should always whisper, never shout', so it's a good job his signature fragrance exudes sheer understated decadence. This vivid scent totally reflects the true image of Paul Smith's fashion - elegant, bold and eccentric. The top notes combine bergamot and clementine with cassis; its heart notes comprise a subtle blend of freesia, geranium, peony and osmanthus. The end result is a magnificent floral fragrance with vivid woody notes. I loved the bottle - one side is tinted pink, which refracts the colour through the clear glass. Stepping into the midst of this feminine fragrance made me feel delightfully sensual.
