HOW TO LITERALLY SMELL LIKE FLOWERS

While we’ve previously gone to the trouble of suggesting perfumes for both spring and summer (not to mention telling you how to smell like your star sign), sometimes all anyone wants is to smell like flowers. Rather than adorning yourself in them (which we don’t recommend based on the bees alone), we suggest wearing a floral-scented perfume instead. The best can be found below.

ULRICH LANG NEW YORK 17 NANDAN ROAD EAU DE TOILETTE SPRAY, FROM A SELECTION AT NOSE PARIS

Few (if any) fragrances drop a pin to the exact location of their inspiration quite like 17 Nandan Road by Ulrich Lang New York. 17 Nandan Road is the street address for Guangqi park in Shanghai, a place where osmanthus can be found in full bloom throughout October. But that particular scent – and therefore location – isn’t all there is to the perfume. Its top notes are green leaves, Sicilian lemon and bergamot. At its heart, the osmanthus is coupled with iris. Notes of ambroxan, cedar, suede and musk are at its base. Ultimately, it’s exactly what we’ve been craving since coronavirus hit in a single floral-scented perfume: world travel.
