Exclusive Fragrances curated by Harvey Nichols
For me, fragrance allows me to make a real entrance rather than just walking into the room. It gives me the confidence and can bolster up the elements of my personality that I sometimes feel I can lack.
So if I am feeling a bit ‘average’, a spritz of something really sexy can completely give me that edge! I sometimes like my fragrance to say hello before I do!
I think that fragrance is one of the hardest things to shop for, especially if you can’t get into a store to physically experience them. Where do you start? Out of all the beauty categories, I think that fragrance is the most personal and the one where discovery matters the most.
National Fragrance Week at Harvey Nichols is the time to find something new that you will love and I have roundup of some really special fragrances that should hopefully help finding your new signature much more easily.
Here are some highlights, and keep reading for more in depth reviews:
Maison Crivelli Tubéreuse Astrale Review
This is a really powerful statement scent and it’s absolutely amazing. If you like it when someone comments on and asks about your fragrance, you will absolutely love this. It is a real room rocker! The first time I wore it, I got instant questions. It is divine.
This is completely incredible and is exclusive to Harvey Nichols. It comes in a handmade bottle that is beautiful.
It has heady tuberose with the most beautiful hit of leather and musk. It packs a punch and it is wonderful. I find that this lasts and lasts on my skin and changes and evolves in the most beautiful and super sexy way. LOVE IT!
This is the one to choose when you need a boost!
Maison Crivelli Tubéreuse Astrale Notes
- Top notes – cinnamon
- Mid notes – Tuberose, Osmanthus
- Base notes – vanilla, musk
BDK Parfums 312 Saint-Honoré Review
I love Amber and this is a stunning amber fragrance. It is creamy and soft and skin-like; super smooth and like a cozy and clean-feeling hug!
It has a really lively peppery opening, that lifts away to a beautiful floral heart with the softest orange blossom. It has a very long lasting tonka note (one of my favourite fragrance notes) and is so comfortable and unintrusive that you could wear this everyday for any occasion, and still get compliments. So so wearable and definitely one I’d recommend as a blind buy. Another one I truly love.
BDK Parfums 312 Saint-Honoré Notes
- Top note – pink pepper, angelica root
- Mid notes – iris, orange blossom, tonka bean
- Base note – White musk, ambroxan
Matiere Premiere Radical Rose Review
Matiere Premiere is a new brand at Harvey Nichols. This is a rose fragrance that I think you could love even if you don’t usually love a rose. It is stunning and equally wearable for a man or a woman in my view. I love this on my skin, but I also love rose on a man.
This rose smells so much like a real rose that it’s quite staggering. It actually makes me think of rose petals when I smell it. It is deep and dark with its patchouli and saffron, and as it dries down it takes on the most sensual powdery quality that wears beautifully on the skin. It is glamorous and sexy, and I think it would be a perfect choice for date night.
This is one to spritz when you want to be taken seriously. This fragrance says that you mean business and you don’t mess around. No ordinary rose.
Matiere Premiere Radical Rose Notes
- Top note – Saffron, Pepper
- Mid notes – Rose Centifolia
- Base note – Cistus Labdanum, Patchouli
Nishane Hundred Silent Ways X Review
This is a new addition to the Harvey Nichols line up and it set to be a best seller. It has top notes of peach, tuberose and mandarin orange which open up to a full heart of jasmine, gardenia and iris. It has the smoothest base of vanilla, patchouli and leather which really balances out the fruit and florals.
This is another really long lasting scent. I love the leather in this and it gives the fragrance as a whole a beautiful edge. Elegant and yet edgy and it evolves as you wear it to always keep things interesting.
Nishane Hundred Silent Ways X Notes
- Top Notes: Tangerine, Peach, Tuberose
- Heart Notes: Gardenia, Iris, Jasmine, Heliotrope
- Base Notes: Vanilla, Leather, Patchouli
Olfactive O Floral Review
Olfactive O is a new brand at Harvey Nichols. I really like the way this brand brings personality and how you want to feel into fragrance. For me, I like heavy weight fragrances because sometimes I can come across as frivolous and worry that people can perceive me as a bit lightweight, when I know I am not. I like to spray on fragrance that reminds me that I do also mean business.
Olfactive O fragrances help you decide on the kind of personality that you want to be today. Floral is a new addition to the Harvey Nichols’ fragrance portfolio and it is a delicately soft fragrance designed to evoke elegance and romanticism.
It is a very pretty scent with magnolia, mimosa, chamomile in the top notes, with osmanthus that gives it a fresh peachiness. It’s a super feminine scent perfect for Spring and Summer.
Olfactive O Floral Notes
- Top notes – magnolia, mimosa, chamomile
- Mid notes – rose, osmanthus, tuberose
- Base notes – musk, jasmine, cedar
My Personal Favourites and Experiences
Because I really love fragrances that pack a punch, and say hello before I do, my favourites are Maison Crivelli Tubéreuse Astrale and Matiere Premiere Radical Rose. These are fragrances that will always make an impression and will most definitely get you a bit of attention. I love being complimented or asked about my fragrance so they are perfect for me. If you love something powerful and long lasting, these ones are for you.
In terms of a fragrance that is the perfect blind buy, I can’t recommend BDK Parfums 312 Saint-Honoré enough. It is really long lasting but so so wearable and would be appropriate for any occasion. It is super chic – creamy and clean and very cosy. It’s dreamy.
If you love a leathery fragrance, like I do, you will also love Nishane Hundred Silent Ways X. It combines florals, fruits so effortlessly with the other notes and it has a really zen vibe.
This Harvey Nichols National Fragrance Week edit is so impressive and I am so happy with all these new discoveries.

The Luxury of Packaging
Fragrance is obviously about smell but I have to say, the packaging is so important too. All the fragrances that have been curated by the Harvey Nichols’ experts are absolutely beautiful to look at and hold. This takes the whole experience to another level.
I am obsessed with the chic chunkiness of the Matiere Premiere Radical Rose bottle. I just love it. All the bottles in this edit are stunning and really elevate the luxuriousness of the ritual of applying fragrance.
