About Last Night by Confessions of a Rebel
Inspired by after-midnight festivities, this unisex number is a fusion of smooth blonde woods, spicy citruses and a dash of brilliance. Bergamot and grapefruit come together for a sparkling opening, with vetiver and cedarwood mixing with cold-pressed mandarin oil. About last Night is ideal for both men and women but also raises a dilemma: is it too good to share? We think so.
Mojave by Abbott NYC
It should come as no surprise that Mojave calls to mind the hot desert sand. Tobacco builds the scent’s warm, torrid undertones, laced with black pepper. But it’s the splash of ginger and bergamot that invoke Indian summertime and make this scent super fresh. A future classic, this is unique office-safe yet exotic-feeling choice for the summer and beyond.
Eau Papaguéna by ÉLISIRE
This aromatic floral starts out breezy and fresh, with notes of grapefruit blossom, bergamot and a hint of spice. The freshness gives way to woodsy notes, interlacing incense and cypress. Developed under the creative guidance of Franck Salzwedel, the mastermind behind Armani’s Acqua di Gio and Mania as well as the hugely successful Flowerbomb, Eau Papaguéna is another intoxicating triumph that never settles for “safe”.
Foxglove by Joya
A highly concentrated perfume oil by Joya Parfums, Foxglove lives up to its artsy pedigree, blending green notes with floral accords to produce a complex fragrance, with depth and longevity. By combining freshly cut grass, hyacinth, jasmine and a whisper of oak, the unisex scent is equally boisterous and sumptuous. Dedicated to everyone who wants a fragrance that doesn’t overpower, but still empowers its wearer.
Cacti by Regime des Fleurs
An ordinary scent this is not: Cacti exudes crispness while adding a tang of tannic black tea that appeals to fans of unisex fragrances. With herbaceous aloe vera, aquatic notes and cucumber, the fragrance feels instantly familiar but its the Earl Grey and jasmine combo that make this fragrance a stand-out. A green yet intense perfume with subtle aromatic feature, Regime des Fleurs’s Cacti really drives home the minimalist vibe and freshness of crisp cotton sheets.
Eau Moderne by Thirdman
A fragrance staple for everyone, Eau Moderne is brisk, clean and fun. Proving that opposites really do attract, lime and bergamot balance out the powdery iris and wood notes. Instead of grounding the sparkling citrus duo, the notes become even lighter as they linger. Perfect for bright summer days and balmy summer evenings.
