Penhaligon's Oud de Nil eau de parfum
This scent from acclaimed UK perfumers Penhaligon's takes inspiration from the history of the great Nile River. Crisp notes of grapefruit, jasmine and sweet orange blossom intertwined with rose recall a refreshing waterside breeze, while the brand's Victorian roots are explored with earthier tones of guaiac wood and deep amber-oud inspired by the Egyptologists and explorers of the era.

Acqua di Parma Gelsomino Nobile Gift Set
Acqua di Parma has been influenced by its Italian heritage for this jasmine-infused fragrance, inspired by the flower's key presence in the gardens of the country's nobility in the 16th century. Here, the brand has blended it with mandarin and pink peppercorn and accents of cedar wood to create a delicate combination that has been encapsulated in an eau de parfum and complementary bath and shower gel and body cream.

Byredo
Ben Gorham started his olfactory journey in 2006 with the founding of Byredo, which has since grown to become an international brand stocked in luxury retailers across the world, including Harrods, Barneys and Liberty. To celebrate the brand's tenth anniversary, he has created an unnamed fragrance free from any of the preconceptions placed on it by marketers, which comes with a sheet of letter transfers that allow the wearer to add their own description.
