Zara Emotions By

Jo Loves Amalfi

Sunray EDT, £15.99

(40ml) Jo Malone,

yes, THE Jo Malone,

has launched a

collection with Zara.

My favourite, Amalfi

Sunray, is more of a

summer scent, but my

page, my rules. It’s

meant to evoke the

Italian Riviera and

nothing (apart from

The Lizzie McGuire

Movie) has made

me want to book a

plane ticket more.

Maison Margiela
Replica Springtime In A
Park EDT, £96 (100ml)
When I picture my local
park, I think of strewn
black plastic bags,
empty vodka bottles and
intimidating 14-year-olds.
However, when I smell this,
I’m transported to a green
space straight out of Mary
Poppins – spectacularly
clean, blooming with
flowers and full of happy,
fictitious children who
spontaneously burst into
song. Should come with
a picnic hamper.

Coach Dreams EDP,

£69 (90ml) Inspired by

a sunny Californian road

trip, Dreams starts off

fruitily with juicy pear

and bitter orange, but

transforms into a floral

bouquet bursting with

gardenia and cactus

flower. Far sweeter than my

own memory of driving in

America – white knuckles,

sweaty palms and several

near-death experiences. MAKE IT LAST

If your perfume’s disappeared by noon,

it might be down to the ingredients.

“Some notes take longer to evaporate

from the skin, but citrus materials

are more volatile and tend to vanish

quicker,” explains Dunckley. Fan of

fresh, summer scents? Layer them with

matching body lotions to eke them out.

STORE IT RIGHT

Stored correctly, your perfumes

should last longer than most of

your romantic relationships (no

shade intended). “Keep fragrances

somewhere dry, cool and away

from sunlight,” advises Dunckley.

SHOP LIKE A PRO

“It’s a total misconception that cheap

perfumes are bad,” says Dunckley. If

you’re on a budget, he recommends

The Body Shop for high-quality,

beautiful scents. However, if you’re

feeling boujee, he reckons you can’t

beat Chanel or Frédéric Malle.

FIND YOUR SIGNATURE

Stuck in a perfume rut? Dunckley’s

got the answer. The Perfume Society

website has a “Find A Fragrance”

service† where you type in a scent

you love and it recommends a host

of new finds for you to try.
