Intriguing new scents, decoded in the three ways that matter most. 

What it smells like: like a bowl of shiny, green Granny Smith apples. And that favourite forgotten soft drink of the 80s, Aqua Libra.  

What it looks like: a very chic salt shaker from the 30s. With a clothes label hanging off it.

Who would wear it: Clémence Poésy and Claudia Schiffer. Or a botanical expert at the British Museum.
