As we move back into cooler climes for February and March’s fashion weeks we lean towards muskier scents that envelop the senses. Delve in with our pick of the finest fragrances and the ingredients that set them alight. If floral notes set your heart aflutter then spritz yourself with Elie Saab’s latest offering.
