The latest findings of Seven Scent's bi-annual report highlight three key fragrance directions for the coming season:
· Winter Berries: represented by a rich blend of raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrant and icy red berries, this abundance of fruitfulness is coupled with woody accords and oriental nuances.
· Violet: combining delicate florals, beautiful woods and lush leaves, the traditional flower has been given a modern makeover to deliver a contemporary, multi-faceted profile.
· Oud: continuing its meteoric rise, this sultry note returns again to add an intense musky note to more powerful compositions.
“Autumn signals a change in mood and emotion which is reflected in our fragrance forecast. The move towards luscious berry notes and hints of vintage florals creates a sense of vibrant vitality and colour, while the strong presence of oud for yet another season not only marks its transition to the mainstream it also brings a distinctly modern edge,” reports Kate Williams, creative perfumer for Seven Scent.
Inspired by these trends, Seven has created three new fragrance concepts; each is brought to life in a key application and can be tailored to a range of personal care and household products:
· Organic Elements: a fresh blend of cool spices, white woods and delicate florals; evoking remote winter landscapes and free-flowing, icy water. A soft and gentle scent perfectly suited to babycare as well as shower products and fabric conditioner.
· Cosmic Creations: futuristic fantasy meets ethereal dreamland in this magical layering of contrasting fruits, powdery florals and sweet gourmand notes; a modern fragrance which lends itself to deodorants, hairstyling and shower ranges.
· Romantic Renaissance: celebrating the grandeur and drama of the period, this heady fragrance combines dark florals with warm, rich spices; an elegant addition to bar soaps, male grooming and shower products.
