One way for a fashion or beauty trend to stand out these days? To emerge from anywhere other than the hallowed halls of TikTok . Such was the case when Chemena Kamali’s debut Chloé collection arrived on the fall/winter catwalks in Paris earlier this year. The return of boho chic was immediately heralded by the loose and flowing silhouettes on display.
While we haven’t seen the aesthetic’s return to sartorial dominance just yet, now’s as good a time as any to channel your inner flower child . We’re talking on the beauty front—think softly diffused eyeshadow , ethereal pastels and a light hand. All have been making their way back into the beauty mainstream.
But even more impressionistic? The exhilarating notes of any bohemian-befitting perfume. Earthy, woody scents have long been associated with a summer of love. Look to patchouli and sandalwood, once-countercultural aromas that now feature in popular scents such as Gucci’s Flora Gorgeous Magnolia and Le Labo’s Santal 33 .
Amber and vetiver are also grounding options. Beyond these deeper fragrances, fresh florals and citruses offer a light counterpart. The zest of lemon, bergamot and neroli is an olfactive portal to summer breezes and fields forever.
Meanwhile, everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers of sensual jasmine and calming ylang-ylang. Whether your preferences err more rich and incense-like, or brighter and airy, there’s a fragrance for the free spirit in everyone.
