7 transeasonal investments for extending your love affair with fragrance

“Never gonna give you up”

By Briar Clark

BEAUTYcrew Beauty Editor / March 21 2022

Fragrance is a part of our beauty routine where we constantly welcome change.

From summer to autumn, winter and spring, we’ve collected a hoard of perfumes that perfectly align to the flavour and feel of each season.

But we’re welcoming a new mindset of late; one that streamlines the entire experience and allows us to minimise the clutter of our ever-growing collection of perfumes.

Let us introduce you to the concept of transeasonal fragrances.

As the name might suggest, these adaptable scents can confidently work in a variety of settings and seasons.

Featuring mindful blends of ephemeral notes that err on the familiar, while maintaining an innately refreshing and informing experience for the palette, these seven transeasonal scents dictate a new era of olfactory exploration.

All you have to do is remain open to the idea of the unfamiliar…

Creed Windflowers

A breezy ode to the multifaceted nature of floral fragrance, this beautifully complicated cocktail honours the strength, sensuality and inherently delicate nature of flowers in bloom. Jasmine sambac, tuberose and rose are enshrined in a warming coat of sandalwood, while hazy airs of musk, iris and praline add a sweet yet smoky layer to the perfume.

Tom Ford Ébène Fumé

The heady, cleansing aroma of palo santo lies at the heart of this wood and leather parfum. Calm and warm with a refined elegance, this fragrance marries the unexpected in pursuit of the divine. Cistus absolute lies in a bed of roses, seductive ebony wood and leather.

Diptyque Do Son EDT

A summoning of the sea in all its fresh and wild glory, this tuberose-heavy fragrance allows you to walk on the burgeoning salt spray tides without ever really getting wet. Notes of jasmine and orange blossom provide a synesthetic experience that allows one to wander with visions of expansive skies and the mirrored turquoise ocean.

OBVIOUS Une Vanille

Explore the true depths of vanilla fragrance with this ode to the luxurious ingredient. Black Madagascar vanilla is honoured in its singular impact by a host of supporting notes, such as tonka bean and almond, which allow the rich and mysterious truth of the scent to be fully realised.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Noir Rose EDP

Providing a rare and intimate understanding of the rose, this fragrance embodies a sensually tender relationship between the familiar bloom and notes of plum, tuberose and amber. Meanwhile, bergamot, peppercorn, vanilla, balsamic, leather and patchouli lend moments of spicy, sweet warmth and herbaceousness in equal measure.

Recreation Beauty At Night We Dance EDP

Combining sweet citrus notes with a variety of aromatic spices, woods, musks, amber and lavender, this fragrance is an evening of spontaneity bottled, with a spicy, warm scent that guides one on an undeniably refreshing exploration of the wild unknown.

Calvin Klein CK Everyone EDP

A fragrance that lies on the very verge of an undefinable bouquet, this parfum speaks to many seasons and refuses to adhere to gendered expectations of scent. An intricately complex fragrance that evokes moments of refreshment and an earthy groundedness too, one can savour explicit notes of organic orange, black tea and a corporeal, woody base of vetiver

Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
