Five Niche Fragrances I Love

Fragrance is such an integral part of a beauty routine, it is often a reflection of our personalities and essentially an extension of ourselves. When choosing a signature scent, everyone wants to have one that is uniquely their own. Therefore I love these artistic and one-of-a-kind scent offerings below that you might never have heard of before but should totally get your noses on. They will leave a memorable trail that’ll linger in the air for you and others to enjoy. Whether it’s a soft and feminine rose or a deep or a seductive vanilla, find your ultimate signature scent that is uniquely you with these niche luxury fragrances. Here are five that I adore:

Moresque
OROLUNA

An ethereal, mystical and unisex fragrance inspired by the one essential, yet elusive element of life: air. Oriental, feminine, yet masculine with an incense accord.

Guerlain Eau de Lingerie

Eau_de_lingerie_by-Guerlain

I am in love with Guerlain‘s new fragrance launch, Eau de Lingerie, which is, as the name brings to mind, designed for fine underwear, delicate fabrics, as well as intimate and special occasions. The Eau de Toilette is part of the exclusive collection: Les Elixirs Charnels and available now for CHF 99.- (125ml).

“Close to the skin, in the very place where fragrance settles, our lingerie lies… and this inspired Guerlain to conceive of an innovative beauty ritual. A delicate new fragrance to spray onto lingerie, creating a special moment of sensuality in which women are invited to indulge…”

The fragrance can blend with any other scent and beautifully complements lingerie of every kind, leaving a light and subtle impression. Sensual and intimate, Eau de Lingerie is composed as a floral, powdery and musky scent. It contains notes of iris, rose, vanilla, sandalwood, white musk and ambrette.

To interpret the Elixirs Charnels collection, Guerlain entrusted Absolutely Pôm to create a limited edition of five pieces of fine lingerie. Available exclusively at the most prestigious Absolutely Pôm locations (see photos above).
