New autumn 2012 perfumes: hot

- Zen Secret Bloom, Shiseido
In a gilded cube bottle in which black flowers like kaleidoscope are reflected is a flamboyant and modern fragrance composed around freesia and black vanilla. To add to the opulence of this duo, notes of patchouli and absolute jasmine that bring a luminous echo and depth to this vibrant juice. Limited edition, available in September 2012; Water of Perfume Intense, 50ml, 62?
 
- Volutes, Diptyque
A burning composition inspired by the smell of exotic tobacco like Egyptian cigarettes to which were added slightly honeyed and spicy notes to raise and facet the formula. Opoponax, benzoin, pink pepper and saffron sweetly respond to sulphurous floral notes of iris, immortelle and myrrh. A journey for the senses that works on the imagination and takes us to distant lands where it is always hot.
Water of perfume, 75ml, 95?
 
- A Black Voice, Serge Lutens
Inspired by the disturbing voice of Billie Holiday, the new Lutens enrays us with the vibe of jazz clubs of the 50s. The juice is dark, dense, intense and mixes the candied fruit with a floral heart of tuberose, jasmine and gardenia. Suave and powerful, the clear, dark wake swings between the woody evocation of a cloud of tobacco and alcohol vapors and a solar revelation through the more cheerful notes of the fruity-floral bouquet.
Water of perfume, 75ml, 130?
 
- White Light, Olfactive Studio
Inspired by a photo like all the perfumes-concepts of the brand, Lumière Blanche displays a very innovative personality thanks to a warm-cold accord between sweet milk and cottony sweetness and cold solar spices. A whole story that is written on the skin over a creamy sweetness that starts with the freshness to finish on a sensual musky tone, from cardamom to cinnamon while surfing on the iris, the cedar wood and sandalwood.
Water of perfume, 100ml: 120?, 50ml: 80?
 
- White, Courrèges
A vibrant bouquet of flowers articulated around the iris, pink berries and Grasse rose with a touch of lychee pulp and heliotrope. A voluptuous floral display followed by sensual notes of musk, wood, amber and patchouli.
Water of perfume, 30 ml: 47? ; 50 ml: 62? ; 90 ml: 85?
