Sunflower Pop Eau De Parfum – (£74 50ml, Floralstreet.com)
Mandarin, Bergamot, Vegan Honey Accord, Bellini Accord . Vibrant, Expressive, Happy, and Bright
Floral Street Sunflower Pop is the perfect summer scent. Painting yellow-tipped flowers from the brush of Van Gogh, this scent leads with notes of citrus that capture the vibrance, warmth and beauty of the South of France, while also somehow painting the passage of a summer’s day.
The perfume also captures warm honey accord – a naturally identical, vegan synthetic blend created to mimic the sweet, ambery aroma of honey, adding a burst of happiness to the scent. Also available in travel 10ml travel sizes, to bring the sun with you wherever you go. Floral Street products are available from John Lewis, Sephora, Look Fantastic and FloralStreet.com
Miller Harris Soufflot
New from Miller Harris is Soufflot, a fresh take on gourmande. Gone are the sickly sweet notes that may evoke memories of childhood. Instead, buttery honey sweetness has been paired with sophisticated floral notes and woody tobacco tones.
Developed by perfumer Mathieu Nardin and inspired by Ernest Hemmingway’s ‘The Sun Also Rises’, woody floral Soufflot evokes memories of an early spring morning stroll at the Luxembourg Garden in Paris, through the blossoms, past nearby cafés and florists opening their shops with flowers fresh from the market.
Soufflot incorporates the nuttiness of Chestnut and Hazelnut with Cinnamon Leaf and honey to create the sweet sense of fresh brioche paired with coffee, enjoyed at the start of a warm Parisian day. As the wearer wanders through the boulevards of Paris to the Rue Soufflot, lasting impressions of Tobacco Absolute and Leather linger while the white glistening florals of Green Mandarin and Sambac Jasmine Absolute provide a freshness to cut through the buttery warmth of its heart. £180 (100ml) Available from https://www.millerharris.com/
