For The Visionary
The scent: Byredo Eleventh Hour ($184 for 50ml; at mecca.com.au)
This haunting fragrance feels as though it was created during a glamorous time gone by. "Eleventh Hour is an exploration around the smell of things ending, a journey to the end of time, the last perfume on earth." That's how Byredo describes the French fragrance house's newest scent. At its heart is the enchanting aroma of fig - the forbidden fruit - unfolding to reveal notes of bergamot, cashmere woods and tonka bean.
For The Classicist
The scent: Chanel Gabrielle ($174 for 50ml at; davidjones.com.au)
As Chanel's first major fragrance launch in fifteen years, Gabrielle pays homage to the essence of Coco Chanel's rebellious spirit. The new eau de parfum was created by perfume-legacy Olivier Polge, who's father Jacques was the house's previous nose and creator of Chanel Chance. He describes Gabrielle as "abstract floral", designed to reflect four flowers. At its core are jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom.
For The Icon
The scent: Chloé Absolu De Parfum ($110 for 30ml at; myer.com.au)

Inspired by the original Chloé fragrance - the intensity and depth of the Damascena rose, already present in the original fragrance, is increased. While vanilla and patchouli add a hint of sensuality.
For The Bright Star
The scent: Elizabeth Arden My Fifth Avenue ($60 for 50ml; at myer.com.au)
