Beauty: The coolest

Super Star Style BEAUTY

Here’s our pick of the coolest, freshest and most cutting-edge fragrances of 2020 – and what you’ll be wearing next SCENTS W e know you didn’t ask (but we’re going to tell you anyway), fragrance is a category we should be spending more time exploring. Because while we’re as partial to a signature scent as the next person, we don’t see why said scent must come with a long-term commitment. In fact, we’re big believers in switching up your fragrance with each new season, new trend or new year in a bid to build a fragrance wardrobe of time capsules that transport you to specific moments and places with a single spritz. And since we’re in a whole new decade, now is the perfect time to refresh your dressing table with something brand new. Here’s what you need to try…

It’s the one thing at’s still a bit behind the pack hen it comes to being natural, but it’s fast becoming a not-soniche category in 2020. If you’re one of the many who’ve set out to banish from the bathroom cabinet all things allergenic and unpronounceable, it only makes sense to consider the scent you wear every day –especially for those with sensitive skin or allergies. These new natural blends are perfect for spritzing daily, but won’t add to your weekly pollution intake. O ur h d itch our c and they abou th a w b CLEAN GREEN
