Glamour girls

Red carpet regulars (whether in dreams or reality) will love this exquisite fragrance, Cinéma by Yves Saint Laurent. Dubbed ‘a trophy for a star’, the gold-capped flacon contains a seductive honeyed juice. It’s a beautiful blend of almond tree blossom, sambac jasmine and white musk. The scent is now available as part of this gleaming box set, which contains an eau de toilette spray bottle (35ml) and Velvety Body Lotion (75ml). When you smooth the lotion over your body it envelops you with the distinctive scent and gives your skin an attractive sheen – as though illuminated under a spotlight. It is priced at $135 and yours to discover at Myer and David Jones.



Women of substance

Bvlgari Pour Femme is a beautiful, refined fragrance with layers of floral aromas. After opening with fresh top notes, it transcends into a middle note of sambac jasmine and mimosa of Grasse, followed by prelude rose and violet. Together the notes create a delicate but distinguished scent. The Bvlgari Pour Femme Christmas Gift Set, $129, contains an eau de parfum spray bottle (50ml), scented Body Lotion (75ml), and a gorgeous satin drawstring pouch. At the same price as the fragrance alone, the set presents excellent value. Find it at both Myer and David Jones while stocks last.

Bright young things

Every summer should be marked with a liberating scent that inspires uninhibited play. Missoni Acqua is a delicious fragrance that holds such a power. The green-scented oceanic perfume contains essential oils of bergamot blended with those of melon, grapefruit, peony and blue freesia. The sweet bouquet is bound with the more moody undertones of Tuscan iris and jasmine. It’s a vibrant mixture, which epitomises the bright, sunlit colours of summer – much like a Missoni garment. Buy it this season as part of the Missoni Margherita ‘It’ Pack, $175, and you will also receive a limited edition Margherita Charm Necklace. Open the largest gold bauble on the chain and you’ll find an additional serving of the fragrance – but this time in solid form for top-ups on the go. Available at selected Myer and David Jones stores.
