Eros Pour Femme
This perfume has all the glamour you would expect from Versace - inside and out. The feminine scent is a blend of lemon, jasmine and sandalwood that settles beautifully on the skin, while its bold, gold flacon makes quite a statement on the dressing-table. £50;Harrods

French Leather
Inspired by the Paris landscape, Memo's French Leather has main notes of lime, rose and suede. A base note of vetiver brings elegant depth, while pink pepper gives a light femininity. The perfect spritz for chic French women. £168 for 75ml, from Harvey Nichols

Santal Royal
It's unusual to have a fragrance completely dedicated to one note, but this heady perfume by Guerlain focused entirely on sandalwood. The result? An intense, smoky flavour that will turn heads even with just one spritz. Perfect if you're a fan of oud perfumes but find them a little too full on: this has a delicately soft dry-down. £125 for 125ml edp; Harrods

Velvet Orchid
If you love Tom Ford's classic Black Orchid perfume, you'll feel the same about his latest, Velvet Orchid. A seductive and powerful oriental scent, it turns heads with its spicy notes of honey and rum. £72 for 50ml, Selfridges 

Jane Scrivner's Detoxing & Cleansing Bath and Body Oil
Jane Scrivner's citrussy Detoxing & Cleansing Bath & Body Oil provides such a fragrance hit that you can skip wearing perfume altogether. The most prominent notes are lemon-grass and grapefruit. £33; Jane Scrivner 

White by Michael Kors
Feminine, confident and bold, Michael Kors' White blends freesia, tuberose and white musk. They work together beautifully and don't result in an overly sweet scent. £39 for 30ml, Boots 

No 31 by J Crew
In collaboration with Arquiste, J Crew has launched a pair of fragrances, inspired by Peggy Guggenheim's 1943 "Exhibition by 31 Women", the first all-female modern-art show in America. Our pick is No 31, a blend of red vermouth, Bulgarian rose and oakmoss. £78 for 50ml; J Crew 

Kilian's Light My Fire
Leathery, tobacco scents can be overbearingly heavy and macho. Not so Kilian's Light My Fire. The addition of vetiver brings some freshness to the smoky flavour, while vanilla and tonka give it a subtly feminine edge. £175 for 50ml; By Kilian 

Mojave Ghost
Inspired by the Ghost Flower, a rare species that grows in the Mojave desert, the heady blend of ambrette, violet, magnolia and cedarwood in Mojave Ghost by Byredo has an earthy warmth to it. £88 for 50ml; Byredo

Wood Sage & Sea Salt
It's inspired by the British seaside, and Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt cologne is certainly fresh and sparkling but also has a distinct woody fragrance. It has just launched but is already one of our favourite Jo Malone scents. £82 for 100ml; Jo Malone

Amethyst Eclat
A reworking of the bestselling Amethyst, Lalique's new Amethyst Eclat blends notes of blackcurrant, raspberry and rose and a base of musk, but most prominent is a powerful hit of peony. The fruity floral is a sweet, feminine scent. £40 for 30ml; La Lique

Black Opium
With its daringly bold name, YSL's Opium caused a sensation when it launched in 1977. It's just gone darker still, with a new spin-off, Black Opium. The clue's in the name. Coffee notes give this oriental a bitter edge that could be dangerously addictive. £44 for 30ml; YSL Beauty

My Burberry
My Burberry, the latest fragrance by the British brand, is set to become its most popular to date. Inspired by a London garden after the rain, it combines notes of sweetpea, bergamot and geranium for a delicious floral scent with a warm, comforting dry-down. £65 for 50ml; Burberry

Rosa Nobile
In a typically Italian way, Acqua di Parma's light, fresh take on rose, Rosa Nobile, is blended with sharp notes of mandarin. The combination makes for a beautifully feminine scent that doesn't feel as heavy or rich as traditional rose perfume. We love it. £70 for 50ml, John Lewis

Diptique's Philosykos
Diptique's exotic, bewitchingly figgy Philosykos is like summer in a botttle. It is a modern classic that we just can't help returning to again and again at this time of year.£85 for 75ml, Liberty

Givenchy's Dahlia Divin
Rich in white flowers, especially jasmine, Givenchy's Dahlia Divin is a warming, feminine scent, and a real crowd pleaser. The woody notes from sandalwood complement the floral top notes, adding a beautiful autumnal depth. £45 for 30ml,Debenhams 

La Fumée Maroc
Inspired by the souks in Morocco, 's rich, fruity La Fumée Maroc is beautifully complex. The top notes of apricot, peach and prune are softened with a heart of rose and cedar, which gives a warm, woody depth. We love the leather notes that linger on the skin hours after spritzing it too. £155 for 100ml Miller Harris

Wode by Boudicca
The perfumer behind the world-famous Escentric Molecules, Geza Schoen, has now created an equally addictive scent. Wode by Boudicca, inspired by the British queen who led the last stand against the Roman Empire, is a strong, powerful scent with notes of juniper, bergamot and saffron. It may have been seven years in the making but this is definitely worth the wait. £69 for 50ml Cult Beauty

Candy Florale
The floral adaptation of Prada's delicious Candy fragrance, Candy Florale is a flurry of peony, limoncello and caramel. It's sweeter and more feminine than the original, but still has that air of Prada sophistication. £37.50 for 30ml, The Perfume Shop

Beach
Bobbi Brown's bestselling scent, Beach, has been updated with a stylish new bottle. The addictive jasmine and mandarin blend is just the kind of light fragrance we love to take with us on our summer holidays. £49.50 for 50ml; Bobbi Brown

This year's coconut craze has hit fragrances: the latest scent in Marc Jacobs' bestselling Daisy line, Daisy Dream, blends notes of coconut water, jasmine and blackberry. It is a very girly perfume - an excellent gift for a teenager. £52 for 50ml, Selfridges 



Summer Eau de Parfum
From the American designer Dennis Basso comes Summer Eau de Parfum, a light, uplifting floral blend of poppy, bergamot and orchid.It has a sparkling freshness and, as you'd expect from a mainly floral scent, is very feminine. A touch of pink pepper gives it a wonderful depth, too. £65 for 75ml, Harrods 



Chypre Caresse
Earlier this year Givenchy launched seven new fine fragrances. Our favourite? Chypre Caresse, a beautifully feminine perfume with notes of lemon, jasmine and patchouli and a woody, warm dry-down. This is the sort of fragrance that you feel belongs to you on first spritz. £140 for 100ml, Harrods

Rêve Elixir
One spritz of Van Cleef & Arpels' summery floral fragrance Rêve Elixir and you'll want to keep it in your handbag all season. The notes of osmanthus, frangipani and iris have a beautifully exotic quality, without the heady feeling you can get from sweet scents.£55 for 50ml, Harrods

Kedu
Legend has it that you can purify your soul by throwing sesame seeds towards a volcano in Kedu, Indonesia. It is the heady scent of burnt sesame seeds that inspired Kedu by Memo, which is livened up with notes of grapefruit and neroli but retains excellent depth. £168 for 75ml, Harvey Nichols

Flowerhead
The story goes that when Byredo's creative director, Ben Gorham, began developing this fragrance, he was inspired by traditional Indian weddings: colourful and flower-filled. This blend of wild-jasmine sambac, lemon, tuberose and amber is intoxicating.£88 for 50ml, Liberty

 

Eau Tropicale

In Eau de Lavande, Diptyque has created yet another winner. The brand's noses combined three French lavenders - from Provence, Vaucluse and Valansole - for a herbal hit. Woody base notes of incense and sandalwood give a slightly more masculine edge, while coriander and cinnamon provide warmth. £65, Liberty 



Tralala
Inspired by the fantastical world of the London-based fashion label Meadham Kirchhoff, Penhaligon's has created Tralala. The unusal blend of whiskey, saffron and ylang ylang makes a wonderfully sophisticated, warm scent. And the bottle looks beautiful on the dressing-table. £150 for 100ml, Harvey Nichols 




Sunshine
With its fruity top notes of pink grapefruit and peach, and a heart of rose and jasmine, this limited-edition Paul Smith scent is equal parts floral and fruity. The result? A fresh, uplifting fragrance that's great for daytime wear. Well, it's not called Sunshine for nothing. £31, Debenhams

Cuir Cannage
Created as an homage to Dior's leather bags, Cuir Cannage is - as you might expect - beautifully warm and rich.

Bois Blonds Cologne Absolue
What we love about Bois Blonds Cologne Absolue by Atelier Cologne (quite apart from the apothecary-style, leather-capped bottle) is the warm, fresh mix of vetiver and orange, which is supported by sparkling notes of bergamot and neroli. A truly timeless scent. £95, Selfridges

Oud Fleur
For those who like all the warmth of oud but find it too heavy to wear in most fragrances, Tom Ford's beautiful Oud Fleur is just the ticket. Notes of incense, leather and sandalwood are lightened with a blend of rose and geranium, making this scent altogether feminine and wearable. £140 for 50ml, Selfridges

Fans of Nuxe's cult body oil, Prodigieux, will be excited to hear that the French pharmacy brand has now launched a perfume with the same heady scent. The exotic mix of bergamot, mandarin and coconut milk takes you away to sunnier climes. £43 for 50ml, Marks and Spencer

L'Eau Couture
A sparkling, fresh perfume, Elie Saab's L'Eau Couture ticks all the boxes for a spring scent. Orange-blossom? Check. Floral? You bet. It even has vanilla - to warm up the citrus notes, leaving an appealing aroma. As it's a touch light on lasting power, spritz frequently. £47 for 50ml, John Lewis

Burberry Brit Rhythm
Light and floral, Burberry Brit Rhythm for Women is like spring in a bottle. The unusual combination of British lavender with citrus notes of orange-blossom and neroli works surprisingly well, and the resulting powdery scent is both fresh and beautiful. £69 for 90ml; Burberry

Florabotanica
Balenciaga's Florabotanica is a rose fragrance with a twist. The notes of amber, wild mint and vetiver give this otherwise feminine fragrance guts, resulting in an excellent option for an evening scent. Try a spritz of it come cocktail hour. £40 for 30ml,Debenhams

Lolita Lempicka's feminine fragrance Elle l'Aime is sparkling and fresh and delicate notes of coconut, bergamot and neroli. Sweet, but not sickly, it has a myrrh and sandalwood base to add warmth. A lovely scent for evening. £45 for 40ml, Debenhams

Valentino's rich and decadent Valentina Oud Assoluto is not for the faint-hearted.

Our current favourite is Amber Musk, an addictive scent that is warming yet light. £85 for 50ml, Harrods

Rose en Noir 

If we were to dream up our perfect autumnal scent, it might smell like Miller Harris's Rose en Noir: woody, spicy and velvety. Rich notes of Turkish rose with black pepper, violet leaf, coriander seed and cumin result in a warm, sensual perfume. A winner for both men and women. £65 for 50ml; Miller Harris

Patchouli & Fresh Rose
New from Kiehl's Aromatic Blends collection, Patchouli & Fresh Rose is fresh, feminine and light. The rose is soft and delicate - not remotely overpowering - and the patchouli has a clean yet woody depth. Overall a very wearable scent. £52 for 100ml;Kiehls

Chic Petals
With its mix of wild strawberry, pomegranate and gardenia, Chic Petals by Moschino Cheap and Chic is playful and girlie. Yet it isn't overly sweet when you spritz it on. The fresh notes of red ginger and water lily add a lovely sense of airiness. £52 for 100ml,House of Fraser

Aura
If you're after a warming scent to ease you into the colder months, the spicy, woody composition of Aura by Loewe hits the mark.

Soft and warm, it's very wearable. £45 for 30ml eau de parfum; Jo Loves

Just Precious
Best known for its luxurious lingerie, La Perla has launched a new fragrance, Just Precious.

The result is exactly as you'd expect from the brand: an extremely feminine, sensual scent. £35 for 30ml eau de parfum, John Lewis

Fleur de Chine
Inspired by oriental flowers, Tom Ford's latest offering, Fleur de Chine, is beautifully seductive. Magnolia, hualan flower and hyacinth are key to its punchy floral flavour - though there is a surprisingly masculine edge to it too, thanks to the fresh clementine and woody cedar and vetiver notes. £140 for 50ml, Harrods

Peony & Blush Suede
With sweet red apple as a top note, the new Jo Malone cologne, Peony & Blush Suede, could easily have fallen into the far-too-sweet category. But the suede base note was a stroke of genius, giving this floral fragrance a warmth and spiciness. £78 for 100ml; Jo Malone

The eagerly awaited first fragrance by Alber Elbaz for Lanvin, Me, doesn't disappoint.

Rose Splendide
Part of a limited-edition collection of single-flower scents (Les Soliflores), Annick Goutal's Rose Splendide is an unusually salty and delectable fragrance that we just can't get enough of.

Narciso Rodriquez For Her
With its notes of musk oil, rose and soft amber, Narciso Rodriquez For Her has become a modern classic since it was launched 10 years ago.

Blue Santal
The three new scents from Comme des Garçons are all about clever and unexpected mixes. In Blue Santal, cool sandalwood and juniper berry meet warming pine and pepper notes, resulting in a sparklingly bright yet woody fragrance. It's unusual but seriously addictive. £75 for 100ml, Selfridges

Good Girl Gone Bad
Part of a collection inspired by the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, Kilian's Good Girl Gone Bad is fruity but without sweetness.

Majestic Rose
Inspired by the Middle East, is the highlight of Yves Saint Laurent's new Oriental Collection.

Osmanthus Blossom Cologne
If you're into white floral fragrances, Jo Malone's beautifully delicate Osmanthus Blossom Cologne is the one for you. The subtly sweet peachy notes are given backbone by woody flavours of leather, culminating in a light yet warming summer scent. £78 for 100ml; Jo Malone

Eau d'Ivoire
Mix fruity notes with floral flavours and you get Eau d'Ivoire by Balmain, a thoroughly feminine fragrance that's perfect for summer. Sparkling redcurrant adds a welcome sharpness to the heart of magnolia and patchouli, while bergamot gives it a light and breezy charm. £46 for 50ml; Balmain

Le Petit Grain
We always expect good things from the perfumer Lyn Harris, and her new scent, Le Petit Grain, doesn't disappoint. As it uses every part of the orange tree - the leaves, the flowers and the fruit's peel - this summery cologne could easily be sweet, but the inclusion of rosemary and vetiver creates beautiful depth. £95 for 100ml; Miller Harris

Antiquarius Petals
Chelsea Flower Show might have been and gone for another year, but its scent lingers on in Antiquarius Petals, made by the Los Angeles perfumery Royal Apothic for Anthropologie to mark the show's centenary. With notes of mandarin, jasmine and patchouli, it is a powdery fragrance and settles on the skin beautifully. £26;Anthropologie

Thé Vert & Bigarade and Magnolia & Mûre
For their first foray into fine fragrance L'Occitane's well-travelled 'noses' used Provençal garden ingredients with other from further afield.

75ml; L'Occitane

Dahlia Noir L'Eau 
The bestselling heady concoction of Givenchy's original Dahlia Noir has now been reworked into Dahlia Noir L'Eau, a lighter version for summer.
