We sniff out the new season's most alluring perfumes

NOT only is this month famous for London Fashion Week, the much-anticipated September issue magazines and high-street autumn/winter arrivals, it’s also when major beauty brands and fashion houses unveil their biggest fragrance launches.

The product of months — if not years — of famous ‘noses’ beavering away in laboratories, mixing and modifying hundreds of ingredients until their creations are ready to be revealed, the hope is that one of these scents will make it onto your dressing table very soon.
