If you know your smells, you’ve probably encountered Creed’s Aventus on your travels, considering that every dapper chap seems to be sporting it within a square mile radius (thank David Beckham for that). Aventus for Her is equally popular among the ladies, and while both are perfectly respectable scents, why follow the crowd? If you’re looking to splash out on a signature scent, here are three others from the French perfumery that even Michelle Obama can’t resist…
Original Santal
Sandalwood is probably one of the sexiest notes in perfumery known to humankind (it’s actually said to have aphrodisiac properties). Here it’s mixed with delicate herbs and spices for something that’s seriously addictive. Buy it for any men in your life, but you might just end up swiping it for yourself.
Love in White
This classic concoction is Michelle Obama’s scent of choice, and is super popular – as you might guess from the name – with stylish brides-to-be. It’s a gorgeous blend of white blossoms including hyacinth, magnolia and narcissus, without being too sugary sweet. It’s got a pretty powdery finish that will go perfectly with a white dress – or even a crisp white shirt.
Original Vetiver
The deep, woody ingredient of vetiver is the star of the show in this masculine concoction. With a fresh bouquet of mandarin, bergamot and ginger, it dries down to a sophisticated musky base that will intrigue onlookers without overpowering them.
All scents start from £108 at creedfragrances.co.uk
