Seven Fragrances for Seven Summer Days

SCENTS OF ESCAPE

Curating a fragrance wardrobe is no longer reserved for the ultra-indecisive or deeply obsessed. Like your clothes, scent can shift with your mood, plans—or even the weather. From fresh Monday polish to Saturday seduction, these seven fragrances let you dress your days with intention. Spritz, switch, repeat.

Monday – Roos & Roos x Mellerio Couleur Vendôme

Bright, polished, quietly confident

Pink pepper, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang open the week with freshness and light. Radiant without being loud, it’s the olfactory equivalent of feeling completely on top of things. Imagine strolling the grand boulevards of Paris, where every step feels purposeful.

Wear with: a crisp white shirt, tailored trousers, a red lip, and minimal gold jewellery.

Tuesday – Tocca Florence

Elegant, feminine, softly romantic

Bergamot, pear, gardenia, and violet bring soft-focus charm to a busy day. This scent is nostalgic in all the right ways, refined, wearable, and quietly transportive—like a fleeting escape to a Tuscan villa draped in blooming vines.

Wear with: rosy blush, a pleated midi skirt, ballet flats, and a structured handbag.

Wednesday – Van Cleef & Arpels Musc de Soie

Subtle, silky, self-assured

Saffron, iris, and white musk form a whisper-soft veil of warmth and texture. A scent that lingers close to the skin, it’s a midweek retreat to a sunlit silk bazaar, where luxury feels effortless.

Wear with: silk trousers, a fine knit top, kitten heels, and clean-girl makeup.

Thursday – Fornasetti Frutto Proibito

Warm, playful, slightly unexpected

Citrus, peach, jasmine, and soft woods come together in a heady blend with an artistic edge. This one feels a little unruly—in the best way—like a sun-drenched escape to a Sicilian orchard, ripe with forbidden fruit.

Wear with: a flowing dress, sandals, and colourful vintage jewellery.

Friday – Boadicea the Victorious Heroine

Bold, polished, ready for anything

Rose, orange blossom, and incense create a scent that’s both commanding and feminine. It’s a passport to a bustling souk at dusk, where you’re the one calling the shots.

Wear with: winged liner, a blazer, dark denim, and a statement earring.

Saturday – Amouage Guidance 46

Layered, expressive, made for evenings

Pear, hazelnut, rose, and frankincense combine in a rich, enveloping scent that evolves on the skin. Complex and captivating, it sweeps you to an opulent Arabian night, full of mystery and allure—just like your weekend plans.

Wear with: a slip dress, low heels, and a cashmere knit tied around your shoulders.

Sunday – Phlur Rose Whip

Soft, modern, effortlessly pretty

Turkish rose, cassis, and whipped amber deliver a creamy floral with a slightly sweet dry-down. It’s relaxed, romantic, and made for lingering over brunch—a gentle escape to a rose garden bathed in morning light.

Wear with: cotton shorts, a relaxed shirt, and espadrilles.
