These Are the Best Extrait Perfumes, According to a Beauty Expert


Gift me an hour alone in central London and you’ll find me in one place only: Liberty London’s Fragrance Lounge, sniffing and spritzing every bottle in my vicinity. A playground for scent lovers, being let loose on the myriad of new and classic perfumes, toilettes and extraits is akin to Christmas morning. And as a fragrance-obsessed beauty editor, it never gets old. Which is why, when I spotted more and more of this type of scent popping up, I was intrigued. Let’s talk about extraits.
