Smell as divine as you look on your wedding day by finding a new and original perfume. We asked the experts at Avery Perfume Gallery to recommend four star buys for wedding-day glamour
Bold and modern – XX
Mixing masculine and feminine notes, this bold new perfume XX, also known as Metro Velvet, was launched last September. Inspired by icons such as David Bowie – and created by the Blood Concept creators Antonio Zuddas and Giovanni Castelli – it’s a designed to be unisex, if you choose to share it around. Blood Concept; £125 for 50ml
Natural elements – L’Original
Created by renowned interior and product designer Andrée Putman, L’Original is a rich blend of forest wood, pepper, water lily and coriander. Made to evoke feelings of serenity, it was inspired by the vertical garden at Paris’s iconic Pershing Hall Hotel. Preparation Parfumée Andree Putman; £60 for 30ml
Feminine notes – Pink
Unashamedly feminine, and with romantic head notes of mimosa, pink pepper, ylang-ylang and lemon, this Azagury fragrance has rich floral undertones – including magnolia, mai rose and jasmine – in the mix. As it develops, base notes of tuberose, white musk and patchouli emerge. Azagury London; £75 for 50ml
Heady and original – Stardust
Exclusively designed for Avery Perfume Gallery by The Fragrance Kitchen (TFK), Stardust is a heady combination. Starting with top notes of nutmeg and orange blossom, it becomes richer as it develops and ends with rich basenotes, including cedar, amber and vanilla. The Fragrance Kitchen; £165 for 100ml.
