New Fragrances on the High Street: H M New Scents

The mega-brand H & M, or Hennes & Mauritz, a Swedish multinational fashion retail company, was founded in 1947, and has been a mall staple in multiple countries for decades. It has taken the market by storm with their huge imprint on pop culture, as well as their genius collaborations with legendary designers for their diffusion lines in the past. Fragrance is the finishing touch in such a label and they've been populating their ranks with scent ever since 2010.

Now, H & M is launching a new collection of fragrances, inspired by the experience of working with perfume materials, with names that reference them and sleek colorful presentations.

The new fragrances are developed by perfumers Olivier Pescheux and Nisrine Grillié (for Givaudan) and they fall intro three distinct concept families.

H&M collection The Scents

The collection The Scents is comprised of 10 individual "notes" fragrances, in eau de toilette concentration, which center around one particular note, such as yuzu, gardenia, pear, vanilla, lipstick or chocolate.
