Designed for men but also worn by women. Salle Privée is the Amsterdam luxury, cult brand. The fragrances are memories of times and places. Like a time capsule along beautiful places such as Concorde – masculine and seductive as the plane from 1969 – and Kham-Sin – with shades of mandarin, peppermint, amber, thyme and patchouli as a warm, liberating wind in the Egyptian desert.

The last perfume in the collection is Ai – created by perfumer Aurélien Guichard who worked with data obtained from Ai to compose the scents. With notes of ambroxan CX and musk, woody notes, salicylates and veltoI. Ai 100ml – Skins €220

A novelty in perfume country is the Eau de Parfum Naturelle from Marie-Stella-Maris. After the delicious hand and shower gels and interior sprays in the most delicious scents, a body perfume was a logical next step from MSM. The launch is yet to come, but we have already been able to pre-test. Amber Haze smells seductive and warm, Rose Fumée smells sensual and floral, Terre Fertile smells like a sultry summer garden and Flower Water smells fresh and springlike. Just like with the hand and shower products, we can't choose which scent is our favorite.

We fell for the smell Flower Water. An accessible perfume: fresh floral. €99
