Fashion and beauty choices are some of our most valuable tools for communicating who we are. A simple black dress can embody effortless elegance; a slicked up-do denotes an appreciation for practicality; a cherry red lip oozes infallible confidence. But personal storytelling doesn’t stop at the sartorial and cosmetic – it extends to scent, too.
A new fragrance house launched in Spain in 2024, Angeline Perfume, seeks to embody the very spirit of self-expression. Established by a spirited young woman who traveled the world, gathering memories and experiences, the dream was to create beautiful scents that celebrate our individuality and our most cherished moments – a dream that has come into fruition.
Each of Angeline's fragrances are based on a real experience – the tales behind the scents are as varied as the women who wear them. Lost Love, one of the house’s most popular scents, combines notes of stone fruit, warm vanilla and earthy moss to transport the wearer to a sun-drenched peach orchard, where a young girl reflects on the bittersweetness of fleeting love. Another stand-out, Passion Rogue, is a vibrant fragrance inspired by the empowering aura of a businesswoman who’s eager to make her mark on the world, fusing floral and woody aromas to tell a tale of strength and ambition.

The Art of Layering
Our sense of smell is closely linked with feeling and memory – it’s why a spritz of something special can transport you back to a place in time. And for a fragrance that truly represents you and your experiences, we’re strong proponents of scent layering.
Someone new to layering might want to start by experimenting with scents from the same families. It’s why Angeline groups its fragrances into collections which share similar notes and sensibilities: Inspiration, Elegance, Tenderness, Zero Gravity, Men’s World, Temptation, Provocation and Tranquility.
Those partial to flirty and playful scents will be inclined to explore the Temptation collection, which abounds with floral and fruity notes that work well together. Those who reject expectations may want to play with opposite notes, combining the delicateness of Lost Love from the Zero Gravity collection with the boldness of sandalwood and leather from Crystal Chromatic in the Provocation collection. All of Angeline’s scents are available to purchase in a 10ml atomiser, making it easy to try new combinations.
There’s no doubt that fragrance is an extremely personal choice. But if you know somebody well enough, buying them a scent that captures their aura will show them how much you care. For example, Silent Symphony, which melds velvety peach and fresh jasmine with rich and spicy rum and sandalwood, might remind you of the friend with the sweet but strong-willed temperament. Whether you’re building your own collection or shopping for the holidays, a carefully chosen scent is sure to make a memorable impression.
