Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM, 70ml £185
A mysteriously intriguing acronym standing for ‘A Part Of Me: a fragment of yourself that you leave with others’ makes this intimate scent from hero brand Maison Francis Kurkdjian a beautifully poetic choice of wedding perfumery. We love how this fragrance really smells different on each wearer’s skin, and leaves a generous sillage which every bride wants when they walk down the aisle.
Maison Crivelli, Oud Stallion, 50ml £220
You had him at sexy stallion. No groom would knock this gift horse from Maison Crivelli in the mouth. Oud Stallion is a bold take on the well known duo of oud and rose, elevated by the
French haute perfumery house with the smokiest of leathers. The way this scent lingers on the skin makes it particularly suited as a wedding day fragrance, when topping up spritzes may not be practical.
Veronique Gabai, Le Point G, 85ml £229
A new brand at Harvey Nichols, Veronique Gabai is the queen of sexy scents and the suggestively named Le Point G is case in point. One for the lovers, this alluring masterpiece really hits the spot with notes of pink pepper, rose, iris and vanilla. To make it even more bespoke, try layering with the brand’s Eau du Jour to freshen, or Eau de la Nuit to heat things up a notch.
Thameen, Bohemian Infusion, 100ml £250
Another new brand for Harvey Nichols, Thameen was created in London in 2013. Bohemian Infusion is part of the house’s Britologne collection, a merging of the words British and cologne. A fragrance of contrasts with both zesty grapefruit and earthy patchouli, this is the perfect choice for couples who are drawn to different sides of the fragrance spectrum, but want to wear the same scent on their big day. Thankfully, opposites attract.
Byredo, Desert Dawn, 50ml £150
Modern European fragrance house Byredo was created by founder Ben Gorham as a creative project linking smells and memory, making it a natural choice for scenting a pivotal occasion like a wedding. The iconic bottles are as chic as they come, and the inviting warmth of Desert Dawn’s spicy cardamom and sensual sandalwood suggests a destination wedding with partygoers seeing in the sunrise.
LOEWE, Earth Elixir, 50ml £132
Our fashun followers will be drawn to luxury Spanish fashion house LOEWE’S contemporary Earth Elixir. While shopping this floral, amber and musky fragrance, couples can also browse the LOEWE womenswear and menswear rails at Harvey Nichols, sourcing everything from white bridal sneakers for hitting the dance floor; to crystal-embellished sunglasses for the ultimate honeymoon accessorising.
Matiere Premiere, Falcon Leather Extrait, 100ml £350
There is no ambiguity when wearing Matiere Premier’s powerful and intense Falcon Leather. Wearing this traditionally masculine fragrance is like putting on a suit of armour, it invokes a feeling of calm confidence which is exactly what you need when all eyes are on you.
Goldfield & Banks, Mystic Bliss, 100ml £138
Mystic Bliss is the scent of choice for our wild, free-spirited brides and grooms, given that the Australian brand was created in homage to the naturalist and explorer Joseph Banks. Both a playful and ethereal scent, Mystic Bliss’s olfactory profile is an invigorating blend of aromatic notes, heady woods and ripe fig.
Acqua di Parma, Luce di Rosa, 100ml £250
Weddings are intrinsically associated with beautiful flowers, from the bride’s bouquet to stunning table arrangements, floral arches and sweet bridesmaids’ posies. And what stem says romance more than the timeless rose? Celebrate this most beloved of blooms with Italian brand Acqua di Parma’s Bulgarian rose masterpiece, which is complemented by geranium oil and grounded with vetiver and cedarwood.
Jo Loves, Black Cashmerean & Tonka, 100ml £150
Inspired by legendary perfumer Jo Malone’s adventures in Dubai, this bold scent from boutique brand Jo Loves epitomises good times and golden hour. With spicy ginger, warm tonka and velvety cashmerean, plus a decadent black and gold statement bottle, this is a fragrance for our super glamorous black-tie brides and grooms. Scent your venue with the brand’s equally seductive Black Cashmerean & Tonka candle for the ‘more is more’ approach.
