Wind Flowers

Joyous New Summer Fragrances To Spritz This SeasonPin

Eau de Parfum 75ml, £260

Inspired by the flowing movements of a dancer, Master Perfumer Olivier Creed has created a new summer fragrance that is equal parts delicate and strong.

This is emboldened by rich, woody undertones of sandalwood and musk, offsetting the sweetness and creating a surprisingly complex pink scent.
