While florals are often thought of as fresh, powdery and spring-like, when blended with spiced and smokier notes, these blooms can take on quite a different and very magnetic personality. Meet your daytime flower perfume's alter ego: evening florals.
When it comes to the best long-lasting perfumes, many of the top spots are ruled by floral fragrances. As an olfactory genre, they are arguably the most classic, with notes like rose and jasmine found in some of the most iconic and recognisable blends in the world; Chanel No.5 and Miss Dior, for instance. But despite their very classical and elegant reputation, and the fact that many consider them to be either very bright and soft or very mature, they're far from being one-dimensional. You can infact, find some richer and altogether darker iterations; florals that tread into amber and musk territory, so much so that they feel more apt being worn at dusk than at dawn.
