Arlington Eau de Cologne £42 - D R Harris London

The light citrus opens bright but settles into something really classy that works from the office straight through dinner. I've worn it on warm afternoons and it never feels heavy, just clean and confident.

The fern note really grounds the citrus so it doesn't turn sharp on my skin, and it's held up well through a long workday plus dinner out. This has become my go-to for both the office and evening plans, just a couple of sprays does the trick.
