Perfumes trends ebb and flow with the changing of the seasons and styles. Most often being pushed forward by the independent brands always looking at fresh ways to explore the world of scent.  Earlier this year we looked at the trend towards simple seeming clean, fresh scents.  On the surface they give a sense of simplicity (but of course are usually very complex).  Therefore, the often has to be the opposite.  There is definitely a trend towards rich, heady, fully bloomed fragrances.  These are not the types of perfumes to be worn by the shy and retiring but those women that love to leave a trail of perfume behind them, the kind of woman that wants you to know she is in the room.

Whatever the personal preference, the trends of these perfumes exude a confidence that differs from the rest. We introduced our simple, clean perfumes in The Lightest Touch, and here below we present the fabulous, sultry and ever present rich perfumes. To mirror these devilishly delicious fragrances, we broke them down into five key trends from this seasons catwalk. Think  Glitz and Glam, studio 54 disoc-tastique; Black is Back,  did it ever go away?  In the Garden, whether this be flora or fauna or even the most exotic of animal life;  Slogans, there is nothing like saying it with words  and Metallic from high shine to matt finishes.  Now you can match your scent to your ever changing style.
