Linden Leaves – In Bloom collection In their prettiest collection yet, Linden Leaves seeks to encapsulate fun, femininity and frivolity at its very best. And, with three new fragrances in a range of beautifully packaged products, it is your go-to for thoughtful and useful prezzies. Even Miranda herself would agree.

YSL Beauté – Couture Blush and Couture Highlighter A high tech product for a low fuss look. The ‘powders infused with water’ technology means that the formulas feel like practically nothing on your skin – but that isn’t at the expense of wear longevity. As you apply, the product will melt and blend effortlessly, all the while maintaining the sophisticated pigment, for which YSL Beauté has come to be known. Use the products wet or dry to switch up the intensity of the look.

Two Guerlain products to rave about this time. Lingerie de Peau Compact is an extremely light and airy powder foundation in compact form, and Orchidée Impériale  Eye and Lip Contour Cream is a swoon-inducing cream to battle against the signs of time. Guerlain has certainly proven they are more than just a fragrance powerhouse.

Roses have always been an enchanting scent and flower across time, and it's been an inspiration for perfumers for decades. Bottling up the fragrance of a rose is nothing new, but Van Cleef & Arpels' Rose Rouge eau de parfum embraces creativity and has concocted a scent that is beyond intriguing to all the senses.

Angelina Jolie said it best about Mon Guerlain: "A perfume represents femininity by lending itself to your every mood and escaping definition. That is what I love about Mon Guerlain."

This one is for the gents, literally. Coach is a timeless brand, so it's no secret that they would create a timeless cologne evoking the quintessential Coach man. Creatively, the brand paired Coach Platinum with the upbeat charisma of New York City, perfectly summing up that the Coach Platinum guy has the same vibrant energy as the city with that famous skyline.

What do you get when world-renowned floral designer Saskia Havekes turns her hand to creating fragrances? Naturally, a mind-blowing perfume line that is intoxicating, heady and dramatic, and absolutely captivating. Our favorite is inspired by a rare cactus that only blooms once a year under the night sky, and without a doubt, Grandiflora's Queen of the Night is a bottled-up symphony of allure.

Get lost in Boucheron's Collection Santal de Kandy fragrance, an ode to the gem hunters of Maison Boucheron. These individuals were utterly captivated by the Sri Lankan town of Kandy during their jewel conquests. The hunters were met with a city teeming with sprawling forests, sky-high mountains, and a colourful culture. Boucheron cleverly managed to take all of these unique elements and bottle it up in a deliciously spicy fragrance with exotic charm.

Whatever perfume Guerlain decides to release, it seems they can do no wrong. Their floral line shines through La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto, this lovely creation that emanates instant appeal from the first moment you sense it in the air. A spritz of this will give you the confidence of a sharply-dressed fashionista heading out for a night on the town, even if you're just heading to the office!
