SHOPPING for perfume can be hard at the best of times, never mind when you’re gifting. But if a new signature scent is on your shopping list, these unisex fragrances are a guaranteed hit . . . AllSaints Shoreditch Leather Eau De Parfum, £40 for 30ml, boots.com.

Inspired by the AllSaints leather jackets, this is every bit as cool and edgy as you would expect. Amber, patchouli, leather accord and sandalwood make it fiery and in your face – almost like a hot toddy in fragrance form, a real confidence boost in a bottle.

It’s perfect for this time of year when the weather is chilly, and the added notes of saffron, rose and jasmine give it a softness akin to suede. Aesop Virere Eau de Parfum, £115.00 for 50ml, johnlewis.com. If you like the great outdoors, you’ll love this herbaceous, green scent.

Zesty bergamot, tart, almost bitter green tea and warm, earth hay unite to create a fragrance that feels like a breath of fresh air. It is as energising as a brisk walk in the countryside. Warm, jammy fig and spicy pink pepper give it staying power, grounding the lighter notes for year-round wear.

Surprisingly, it’s my favourite of the three. LBTY Vine Thief Eau de Parfum, £225 for 100ml, libertylondon.com. On first sniff, you’re hit with a boozy, woody scent that’s just as opulent as you’d expect from the department store’s signature fragrance line.
