Oriental

Oriental fragrances are warm and resinous, the kind you notice on a cold evening. Vanilla, amber and soft resins sit at the base, lifted by sandalwood, tonka bean and a little rose or bergamot on top. There are 32 to explore, worn fairly evenly by women, men and anyone in between.

They carry well and last, so a small amount goes a long way after dark or in winter. Catania and Brindisi are a good introduction. Bottles are 70 ml, from £34.90, with free UK delivery on every order and 14 days to return anything unopened.
