Cyclamen

Benefit

Maybe Baby is Benefit's first and most enduring fragrance — a soft, girlish fruity floral that wears closer to a beauty product than a perfume, and earns it.

Yves Rocher

Ode à la Vie opens with water and green in conjunction: galbanum's sharp, leafy edge is softened by bamboo's clean neutrality, while water notes give the whole opening a cool, almost misted quality.

Louis Vuitton

Matière Noire is Jacques Cavallier Belletrud's vision of darkness channeled through flowers — not gothic, but precise: the moment a white bloom closes at dusk.

Dzintars

Founded in 1882 in Riga, Dzintars is one of the Baltic region's oldest perfume houses, and Rigas Cerini — Riga Lilac — is a tribute to the lilac bushes that flood the Latvian capital each spring.

Avon

Tahitian Holiday opens with cyclamen and ginger — a slightly soapy, slightly spiced freshness that immediately signals its tropical intentions without overdoing them.

Oriflame

Moon from Oriflame's 1996 collection places a classic floral construction in a light, accessible register — fitting for the Swedish house's positioned-for-reach catalog.
