9 fragrances that are pure comfort in a bottle

Whether you’ve been blessed with the presence of a tub or not, Bubble Bath by Maison Margiela Replica is a perfume that brings the bubbles and relaxation to you. Mixing the scent of soap, comfort and purity, this eau de toilette is full of comforting clean accords that evoke the feeling of slipping into a warm, sparkling bubble bath. It features notes of jasmine, bergamot and white musk for a truly serene experience.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Daisy Petals EDT is not only super cute (it’s a new limited edition 20mL size that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand), but its fruity, floral notes make it the perfect substitute for that seaside longing. With notes of blackberries, lychee, coconut water and white woods, it’s soft, refreshing and will give you some soothing summer nostalgia.

A soft bouquet of white florals, Elie Saab Le Parfum Essentiel EDP features fresh notes of mandarin, making it a radiant and luminous fragrance that feels bright, happy and uplifting. A new interpretation of its signature perfume, this delicate scent is the perfect pick-me-up for those mornings when you’re feeling a bit blah.

With notes of neroli, waterlily and musk, Jo Malone London Waterlily Cologne smells just as relaxing as it sounds. Pristine, clean and florally, it legitimately smells like you’re walking through THE Secret Garden, before sitting by a pond full of dewy petals. It’s beautiful. 

Boasting a vibrant bouquet of jasmine, lily, rose leaf and patchouli, Lumira La Primavera Parfum is supported by a comforting powdery cashmere musk that almost feels like pulling on a fluffy sweater or curling up on the sofa under a cosy blanket. It’s soft, warm and feels like mum’s hugs – even if they’re a little far away.

Sunshine and the feeling of joy, pretty much go hand in hand. But being stuck indoors makes it hard to capture that same feeling. Sunshine by Amouage is the next best thing. It offers notes like artemisia, almond, blackcurrant and jasmine and will have you feeling like you’re laying down in the park on a summer’s day, lapping up the light and warmth of the sun.

Delightfully simplistic, this light and floral fragrance from Elizabeth Arden is warm, airy and fresh. The hint of mandarin offers a crisp, citrusy twist, making you feel like that Mediterranean escape isn’t so far off after all.

This delicate scent from L’Occitane pretty much smells like you’re walking through a field of white flowers on a warm evening. With notes of bergamot, jasmine and marshmallow extract, the scent is soft, delicate and fluffy.

Composed of clean, white florals like gardenia, jasmine and lily of the valley, this uncomplicated fragrance from Van Cleef & Arpels is literally springtime in a bottle. It recreates the smell of white petals on bare branches, and the crisp air on your face. It’s simple, decadent and is the perfect escape.
