The world of perfumery continues to expand, offering us new fragrances, increasingly green and exclusive. The delightful little bottles we love to collect enclose essences crafted for every need. There are hair perfumes, date perfumes, evoking rainy days or exotic landscapes, and even functional fragrances developed to evoke specific feelings, from happiness to nostalgia. Surprised? You shouldn't be, as perfumer Francis Kurkdjian once said, "Fragrances are sculptures of ourselves, accompanying us in everyday life, giving us invisible yet present identities." Wearing citrus, sweet, strong, or delicate notes tells a part of ourselves, revealing who we are. Like clothing, this fragrance can remain the same, a signature look, or change with the seasons and trends. Some remain loyal to the scent they loved as teenagers, while others are curious about the 2024 novelties.
Here are the olfactory notes and perfumes we will wear in the coming months.
