Bvlgari

Blv Eau d'Ete opens with cooling mint and lemon—immediately summery in intent but with enough peppery snap from the mint to avoid simplicity.

Dolce & Gabbana

Velvet Exotic Leather is the most baroque entry in the Velvet Collection — Rodrigo Flores-Roux composing a dark, smoky leather with all the resins and balsams turned up.

Givenchy
