The flacon is reminiscent of Japanese Samurai jars that were used to store opium pills. Despite a certain darkness that looms around the scent, it seduces the wearer into addiction. With an oriental blend of rich spices, lush florals and deep wood notes, the fragrance simply grows on you.
Youth-Dew by Estēe Lauder

A lot richer than the fruity scents of yester-years, this fragrance changed the world of perfumes. Despite its creation in 1953, there is nothing granny-ish about this perfume. With a hefty dose of neroli, rose and rich spices, Estee Lauder’s debut scent adds a whole lotta sunny to your personality.
Shalimar by Guerlain
It’s your perfect little black dress translated into a perfume. Named after the Gardens of Shalimar, this amber-oriental scent is a blend of iris, rose and vanilla. Created by perfumer Jacques Guerlain as a tribute to the everlasting love story of Emperor Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz, this scent is as perennial as love itself.
Miss Dior by Dior
Launched by the design house of Christian Dior in 1947, this vintage treasure is a blend of rose, gardenia, sage and green florals that take you back to the golden age. Evoking nostalgic reveries of flapper girls, this granny fragrance leaves a heavenly trail. As Christian Dior rightly remarked, 'Long after one has forgotten what a woman wore, the memory of her perfume lingers.'
CK One by Calvin Klein
Anyone who grew up in the 90s remembers this fresh burst of citrus flanked by subtle floral flavours. It’s a scent that will match your tousled waves and kohl-rimmed Winona Ryder eyes. Bring back the retro androgynous grunge with this light relaxed scent that can be literally splashed all over.
Chanel No.5 by Chanel
When asked what she wore to bed, Marilyn Monroe provocatively revealed, 'Five drops of Chanel No. 5'. Intermingling like a mosaic of scents, one cannot easily distinguish its individual ingredients. Top notes of zingy bergamot and lemon are piercing, while lily of the valley, rose and jasmine add a certain softness. But the base notes of vanilla, vetiver and amber give it a full bloom. Exquisite and beautiful, the fragrance remains a monument of indulgence.
Angel by Thierry Mugler
The stunning star shaped bottle adds that perfect something to you dressing-table. But beyond the flacon, the oriental vanilla fragrance is supported by bergamot, honey, caramel, patchouli and coumarin. The brand also came up with a new concept of refillable bottles. Extremely distinct and recognisable, the perfume brings out the soft, pure and innocent you.
