Oud to Autumn: Fragrance Trends for 2016-17

Seven Scents predicts opulent winter berries, a violet revival and the ever popular oud as upcoming trends.

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.
