For instance, one of the brand's most recent releases - Carven C'est Paris! - has such a light touch, despite being an eau de parfum.

It leads with a wonderful bloom of sweet and fresh yet floral rose, which is supported by green and mouth watering rhubarb and just a hint of heat from a trace of pink peppers. The energetic nature of these top notes helps to lift up the middle notes, which are a mixture of ordinarily heavy white florals - gardenia, jasmine and magnolia. The base notes are also buoyant, a mixture of subtle musk notes, cashmeran and patchouli.

This is 7 related perfumes, each with a different flavour based on the aromas of a particular location; some of them are truly thrilling. Carven Paris Santorin is one of these striking perfumes.

Named after a small Greek island, Santorin takes inspiration from the plants of the Mediterranean. It's key fragrance is fig, the delicious fruit enjoyed since ancient times. The top notes are led by the bitter, dusty and sublime scent of fig leaf, which is given clarity and dimension through bergamot and pink pepper.

The perfume turns sweet in the middle when the sweet aroma of the fig's fruit makes itself known. Iris flower, similar to violet petals, gives a powderiness while a touch of herbaceous immortelle continues the green fresh theme established by the fig leaf in the opening. The base turns woody thanks to a strong aroma of sandalwood mixed with dark tonka bean. The result is a unique perfume that has the characteristics of a chypre while leaving out that family's usual resinous sharpness.
