Floral sensuality

Kayali’s Freedom Musk Bouquet 27 Eau de Parfum opens with a radiant burst of ylang-ylang, sparkling pink pepper and luminous solar jasmine.

Powerful and magnetic

Rabanne’s Million Gold Elixir is a bold new scent that redefines modern masculinity through unapologetic self-expression.

Made up of an intense, ambery and spicy signature, it opens with fresh bursts of mandarin and bergamot, deepens with a heart of liquorous vanilla and cardamom, and settles into an indulgent base of sandalwood, benzoin and patchouli.

The iconic ingot bottle features a new amber gemstone set into its golden body.

Warm, addictive trail

Boss Bottled Beyond is a premium ginger-leather fragrance that embodies two distinct facets of sensuality: one electrifying and fresh, the other deep and carnal.

The stimulating ginger blend brings a vibrant, spicy and aphrodisiac dimension, delivering a fusing, intense freshness.

Meanwhile, the sensuality of grained leather, directly inspired by niche fragrances, adds a sense of premium refinement, with a warm, addictive trail that feels almost enveloping.

Mane refresher

Sachajuan’s The Protective Hair Perfume in Fruity Floral is a multi-beneficial hair reviver that instantly refreshes the hair.

It also moisturises, reduces static, adds shine and provides UV protection.

The fruity floral scent is classically constructed with top notes of litchi and green apple, a heart of peach, rose and ylang-ylang.

Base notes include patchouli, cedar wood and white musk.

Versatile and elegant, it can be misted onto hair and skin, applied like a cloud over hair and body, or brushed through to revive its luminous scent anytime of day.

Its top notes are lemon, verbena, lavender and pepper, with heart notes of mimosa, cubeb pepper and pink berries, and base notes of woody amber accord.
