MAD ABOUT BIJOUX

From gold to crystals to gemstones, treat yourself to splurgeworthy fragrances inspired by precious jewels, ornaments and glimmering natural wonders.

1 If looking for olfactory opulence, look no further than Bulgari’s Allegra Fantasia Veneta inspired by the extravagance of a Venetian carnival. After you’ve allowed the gemstone-inspired bottle to take your breath away, tuck into its rich, chyprefruity scent with notes of Indonesian patchouli, red peach accord and vanilla.

2 Savour this decadent scent profile that has an addictive, creamy caramel-vanilla texture on the nose. Inspired by a roselike formation of crystallised mineral clusters found in the Arabian desert, Molton Brown Rose Dunes’ floral-woody quality unfurls as notes of saffron, rose, oudh, musk, sandalwood, and an overdose of dark patchouli take over.

3 Douse yourself in liquid gold with Aqualis Egoli’s scent profile inspired by Johannesburg, the city of gold. If you enjoy something heady, this oudhforward scent profile has a resinous, smoky and spicy opening that gradually settles into softer notes of orange, lavender, tuberose, vetiver and patchouli.

1 Bulgari Allegra Fantasia Veneta EDP 100ml R4,320 2 Molton Brown Rose Dunes EDP 100ml R2,940 3 Aqualis Egoli Extrait De Parfum 50ml R6,180
