Marc Jacobs Lola Eau de Parfum, £45 for 50ml
You can't help but notice that this glorious bottle has MJ's flamboyant style written all over it. And, like the bottle, the scent is totally unique. 'The new fragrance Lola, as a spirit, is very different from Daisy, which was more girlie. This is more seductive and assertive,' says Marc. Lola is certainly a vivid, sparkling and fruity scent with attitude. Pink peppercorn, pear and pink grapefruit pop out, while rose, geranium and vanilla give it warmth and stop the fragrance from being overpowering.
Givenchy Ange ou Demon Le Secret, £33.78 for 30ml
This light-as-air scent combines jasmine tea, Italian winter lemon and soft white flower notes such as jasmine and peony. It's an intensely delicate fragrance and, like the face of the fragrance - Uma Thurman – the embodiment of graceful perfection.
Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci, £28.38 for 30ml
Like the feminine shapes that grace the Nina Ricci catwalk, the latest fragrance from Nina, Ricci Ricci, is super girly. This fragrance bursts out of the bottle with uplifting notes of bergamot, rhubarb and tuberose, while muskier scents of sandalwood and patchouli evolve as you wear it. The exotic, creamy belle de nuit flower is the final note, which makes this a really grown-up scent.
Chloe Eau de Parfum Intense, £55 for 50ml
One spritz is like a big bouquet of freshly cut roses with this new fragrance, which starts out fresh and floral, then warms down to amber and cedarwood with a soft velvety heart of magnolia and lily of the valley. We also adore the on-trend big black bow on the bottle - as chic as the scent itself.
Kate Moss Vintage, £23 for 30ml
Miss Moss has done it again. Her fourth fragrance is a fruity, floral affair that's much brighter than her other scents. The strongest notes include pink pepper, freesia, mandarin and jasmine, while tonka bean, vanilla and musk add warmth and a certain Moss-style sexiness. A must-have winter scent that's perfect for vintage queens and fashionistas alike.
YSL Parisenne, £30 for 30ml
Capturing that Parisienne je ne sais quoi, the new fragrance from YSL is inspired by chic Parsienne style and coquettish French attitude. Delicate and floral, but with strong, heady undertones, it's romantic, rose-based scent that doesn't suffer from being overpowering or cloying. A new classic.
Guerlain Idylle, £38 for 50ml
Guerlain always excel at sensuous winter perfumes and this year's offering is no exception. A deep floral blend of Bulgarian roses, raspberry, lychee and Plessis Robinson rose creates a nostalgic floral scent, but is brought up-to-date with patchouli, white musk, peony and jasmine. And the beautiful golden glass flacon it comes in - designed by French designer of the moment Ora Ito - makes a chic, art deco style addition to your dressing table.
Michael Kors Very Hollywood, £33.28 for 30ml
Fancy yourself as a Hollywood icon? Then Michael Kors' Very Hollywood is for you. Like a paparazzi flashblub going off, the scent bursts with brightness. Fruity and sweet with a soft, powdery base, this perfume is really versatile – it'll work as a cosy winter scent for daytime, or as a more seductive sent at night. And the glamorous vintage-style bottle looks super luxe.
Narciso Rodriguez Essence, £50 for 50ml
Mr Rodriguez's fragrances are always a surprise. Essence - his latest - is a powdery, musky fragrance that's an ultra-girly blend of iris and rose. There's a good dose of sex appeal too, which comes from a base of modern musks. Like his designs, the bottle is the last word in understated sophistication and thoroughly modern.
Dior Forever and Ever Dior, £63 for 100ml
Could this be the new timeless classic from Dior? If you love Dior's fragrances you'll love this new floral addition to their collection. Sweet and floral with freesia, Indian jasmine absolute, Turkish rose essence and white musk, this is a pretty scent and the vintage-style bottle makes the perfume all the more alluring.
