FRAGRANCE
Women’s Fragrance CHANEL BEAUTY Comète Les Exclusifs de Chanel EDP, $375 for 75ml
SA: This is one of my most treasured possessions. I had never been a frequent user of fragrances—this despite working as a perfume salesgirl for a while—but I gravitated towards this one instantly. This is a light, powdery scent that leaves me feeling quietly confident.
Unisex Fragrance TOM FORD BEAUTY Soleil Blanc EDP, $455 for 50ml, Sephora
JR: This is my current favourite and a fragrance I’ve repurchased many times. It’s warm and luxurious, and makes me feel like I’m having a martini at Le Ciel Santorini. Coconut and jasmine are some of my favourite notes in this perfume, but those of amber and pink pepper give it a mature and luxurious feel. I’ve purchased the EDP in a glass bottle, but the all‑over body spray fragranced with the same scent, which comes in a metal can, is perfect for travelling.
Men’s Fragrance MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN Masculin Pluriel EDT, $295 for 70ml
STC: While this scent has the fougère accord that is common in most male fragrances, I love that it also has grapefruit and leather notes, which really create a well‑rounded nuance that draws you in. This is definitely a head‑turner and a scent I always appreciate.
