What’s in it?
Abercrombie & Fitch Woman Away Tonight, from $63.
Created with 81 per cent biodegradable ingredients, spicy pink pepper is the first jolt on your olfactory senses. But the combination of freesia and zesty pink grapefruit confirms this is a summery floral fragrance. After a few minutes on the wrist, the blend of Lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, and heliotrope with siam benzoin, cashmere wood and tonka bean helps it live up to its reputation of being an amber, fruity floral.

Why DO we like it?
You can tell by our dozens of fragrance reviews we like to keep you in the loop when new scents hit stores. Call it your shopping guide to fragrance, which is a personal purchase - especially regarding floral varieties. Jasmine is in hundreds of perfumes; it can be bold when abundant in a scent, some may say even vintage-like on some skins. However, it’s the one floral ingredient that exhibits very different qualities. Like being warm, tropical and exotic, earthy, and downright intoxicating. When jasmine features in perfume, it makes a fragrance satisfyingly sultry. For summer, it’s our go-to ingredient in a floral scent, one you can wear day and night. We can understand why this tiny flower is a perfumers mainstay; jasmine gives every fragrance a feminine edge - including Away Tonight. So if you get a chance, grab a sniff of this fashion-inspired scent; we promise it will last for hours and remind you of our favourite season of the year.
