The new kid on the Block for Frederic Malle's Editions de Parfums. How ladylike are you? A Portrait of A Lady

I have to admit that I have been struck down by the turn of the weather and I can barely breathe through my nose at the moment. Rather ironically I have had the busiest week of fragrance launches - typical!!! But when I saw Iris - I knew I would like it

After 20 years in the industry, floral designer Jane Packer is turning her attention to a different kind of floral; the kind that comes in a bottle. Jane, who runs 5 international flower shops and 4 flower schools, has created 5 floral fragrances (she is not exactly lacking in inspiration,) in beautiful tall stemmed bottles with a black flower as the bottle top. This is no english counrty garden selection of scents, her fragrance choices are sophisticated concoctions of spicy woody notes and well as sweet florals.

No-one knows how to have fun with fragrance quite like the high end candle maker and perfumer Cire Trudon. Acclaimed to be the new Diptyque when it comes to candles, Cire Trudon has an enormous range of fragrant treats and luxuries. This Autumn will be no exception for the French brand who are set to launch, wait for it.... perfumed stink bombs!!!

Who better to front the new Calvin Klein BEAUTY campaign that the face that launched a thousand ships herself??? (Well the Hollywood version at least...)

Last night I attended a very hush hush launch of the new Nina Ricci fragrance, Nina Elixir. After an in depth introduction to the new perfume and its ingredients we were then introduced to the new face (and voice) of the fragrance, Florrie. Florrie is a young Brit singer, who was scouted by the French fashion house Nina Ricci (est. 1932) this year in order to front their new campaign. The fragrance is even sweeter than its predecessor, if that is possible, yet it still has a very sensual heart that draws you in with vanilla, dry amber and flirtatious jasmine

On the birthday list this year is classic fragrance brand, and one of my all time favourite perfumiers, Miller Harris. Miller Harris is celebrating its 10 year anniversary by releasing 4 limited edition fragrances. The fragrances represent the four main fragrance families and are contemporary splash editions of Lyn Harris' four original Miller Harris perfumes: citrus, floral, woody and oriental.
