"I love that this scent is inspired by Demi Moore in the ‘90s film Ghost, with the idea to spark joyful and positive feelings. It’s a fruity, floral scent with bergamot and koji pear."
"‘Tools for wellbeing’ is how The Nue Co. refers to its range of science-led, functional products. The latest fragrances to launch in The Nostalgia collection focus on comfort, with First Milk inspired by our first scent memory and connection. It’s a delicate, warm mix of Almond milk, tonka bean and amber – a special skin scent.”
“Bella Hadid’s fragrance brand, Orebella, uses bi-phase technology to blend essential oils and the Orelixir base – a blend of skin-nourishing oils. The ‘aura-elevating’ scents will boost both mood and body.”
“Chill is clinically proven to reduce stress and lower blood pressure. Using neuro-aromatic technology, it soothes the nervous system to help you relax. Did we mention it’s also a Wardrobe Icons beauty award winner?”
“Light enough to blend, these fragrances are designed to be layered, energising and lifting your mood with the Ayurvedic properties in the formula. Think of a baked desert with a crisp twist – citrus, smoky vetiver and verdant geranium.”
“A celebrity favourite, this on-the-go friendly aromatherapy-led scent helps ground and uplift your mood. Apply to pulse points and breathe in the rose, sandalwood and vanilla.”
“If you’re running on empty, this could give you the boost you need. A neuroscience-meets-nature scent made with 100% organic essential oils that will work with you.”
“Gently dab this fragrance oil on your wrists and breathe in the scent to help you stay positive, balanced and focused with notes of rose, geranium and citrus.”
“The Whind fragrances were created to help boost your mood and energy, and this new trio is designed to be layered or worn alone. Néroli Bronzé is particularly good at doing this.”
“This confidence-inducing fragrance uses a warm, smooth blend of sandalwood, tonka bean and musk to create the most heavenly skin scent that also boosts your confidence.”
