What floral scents smell like
Floral fragrances centre on flowers, often balanced with fruit, musk or vanilla. Lighter florals suit daytime; richer ones with patchouli or honey carry into the evening.
Miss Dior is rose and peony with soft vanilla, Rose Essentielle is a deep, berried Turkish rose, Feerie adds blackcurrant and violet, Lady Million is fruity and honeyed, No 5 is aldehydic and powdery, and Si is blackcurrant over rose.
When to wear floral scents
Fresh, dewy florals suit daytime, spring and the office; deeper roses with patchouli or honey work beautifully for evenings and special occasions. Florals also layer well with a sweeter scent if you want more warmth.
