When it’s a date night, wedding reception or festive get-together, you need a fragrance that doesn’t disappear before you’ve made it to the venue. Besides, the scent needs to be striking yet subtle, heady but tasteful for a special occasion. Irrespective of the event you’re attending, the ideal pick will enhance your look and leave a lasting impression on everyone you come across. Ahead, we round up the ones that we think fit the bill. Here’s the lowdown.
