What’s New In Perfume
Submitted By: Cathy Peterson

Are you still looking for your “signature scent?” Or maybe you want to spice up your fragrance wardrobe for fall. If you’re looking for something new to dab on these days, there is no shortage of debut fragrances out there. Read on for some picks in the types of scent that you like best.

If fruity and floral fragrances are your passion, Roberto Cavalli has just released Just Cavalli Her Pink, which is highlighted by peach peel, hibiscus, and white lily. Other floral scents are intermingled as well, and there are base hints of rosewood, amber and musk to give the scent depth and sensuality.

Another floral pick comes from Burberry, of the famous plaid, which has introduced a new women’s fragrance called Burberry London (not to be confused with their old Burberry of London, now called simply Burberry), featuring rose, clementine, and honeysuckle, rounded out with peony and jasmine. Base notes are sandalwood, musk, and patchouli.

If you still want flowers, but something a little deeper and lustier, check out Britney Spears’s In Control Curious. It has loquat fruit and midnight orchid, but also adds crème brulee and vanilla to the mix, along with sandalwood and musk.

Do you like woodsy, nutty scents? For something different, try Eau de Reglisse from Caron. You’ll find anise and licorice fragrances, along with nutmeg, ginger, patchouli, vanilla, and musk. This is a limited edition fragrance.

Parfumerie Generale has also included woodsy, nutty scents in their new offerings. No. 10, inspired by southern Africa, is called Aomassai. It has scents of caramel and toasted hazelnut, along with bitter orange, licorice, incense, and balsam and wengue woods.

Want to smell like your favorite foods? Jessica Simpson’s cosmetic line, Dessert Treats, has come out with a perfume called Hula Girl, which will transport you to the islands with its scents of coconut, mango, and banana. The line also has sweet fragrances Cupcake and Candy.

For a new take on an old favorite, try Estee Lauder’s Pure White Linen. The original White Linen came out in 1978 and has been a perennial classic. Like the original White Linen, Pure White Linen is a fruity-floral. It has notes of grapefruit, pear, rose tea, and jasmine, just to name a few. It also incorporates scents of three other fruits and at least eight other flowers, as well as hints of white cedarwood and patchouli.
