Perfumes are as ever-changing as the L.A. nightlife, which is why the two, for us, are a natural fit. Here are our favorite new female fragrances, and the hottest new spots—as well as some longtime favorite haunts—to show of your newfound signature scent!
THE SCENT: CLIVE CHRISTIAN NOBLE VII COSMOS FLOWER
THE NOTES: This is a beautifully feminine yet complex perfume that lingers in the best way possible. Sweet benzoin and caramel in the base is given a Chypre twist with bitter cocoa, dry amber and a hidden touch of leather, that unfurls as the fragrance warms. The bouquet at the heart wraps around a deep and rich fruity plum accord that fuses with the intensity of ylang-ylang, the sensuality of jasmine, the fruitiness of osmanthus and the chocolatey note of cosmos flower. To replicate the rich chocolatey aroma of the cosmos flower, natural cocoa has been used in the heart, whilst creamy like chocolate, the use of cocoa adds a dark bitter edge to the perfume. A distinct fruit character is also found at the top of the fragrance, while sparkling pink pepper and a touch of fiery rum bring warmth and fun.
WHERE TO WEAR IT: Playing hide and seek with the object of your affection at the new West Hollywood hot spot from EMM Group, Catch LA.
