Thank goodness for summer and the explosion of light, cheery fragrances. Quintessentially feminine, floral, powdered perfumes are making a big come-back, with rose and violet in abundance.

Symbols of nature and its true values, fragrances with a plant base will seduce your eco-friendly side.

Enigmatic, vibrant, and with a touch of spice, masculine scents are all in blue.

And what of this season's perfumes? See what professional perfume tester Philippe Bousseton at Takasago has to say...
