Seasonal scents

Spring
Throw off your dark winter clothes and step into pastels like lilac, pale green or turquoise. Fresh-smelling fragrances and delicate florals are the essences of springtime and are guaranteed to lift your mood, get you ready for love and complement your light, pared-down spring look. Nada recommends Wisteria by Chantecaille, a delicate, elegant blend of dewy green accents, freesia and orange blossom. We also like Salvador Dali's Daliflor with the freshness of sweet grapefruit and mandarin, lily of the valley and Turkish Rose, as well as Dolce & Gabbana's Feminine, featuring yellow mimosa, blue wisteria and 'ozone living flower' - a fresh air smell captured from real flowers.

Summer
Heady nights and sultry days mean that our skins naturally produce more oil at this time of year. Like in winter, our scent stays on longer so a little fragrance will go a long way. You could go for fragrances that contain lush, exotic flowers and fruits such as Prescriptives' Calyx. Or, if you prefer a lighter fragrance on humid days, try an aquatic floral like Eden by Cacharel or Paco Rabanne's Ultraviolet Metal Beach with water lily, vanilla and capsicum.
