Why you can trust SCMP

If television shows, movies and shampoo commercials have taught us anything about the rules of attraction, it is that great-smelling hair brings about an instantaneous and inexplicable melting of men's hearts. Whether it is Ross burying his nose in Rachel's coconut-shampooed hair on Friends or Sean Connery leaning over to smell Catherine Zeta Jones' waves in Entrapment, the message we seem to be getting is soft hair + scented shampoo = successful seduction.

Here, we have picked out some of the most delicious shampoo scents for you to try out this winter. Happy flirting!

Light and Fresh

As winter brings rich, dark hues in fashion and cosmetics, turn heads with a clean, refreshing scent. We are addicted to the Intense Illuminating Shampoo by Neil George (US$22/7.3 fl.oz), which contains Indian gooseberry extract for its antioxidant properties and grapefruit sage for a mood-lifting aromatherapy experience. Order online at www.neilgeorgesalon.com. The Aromachologie Soothing Shampoo from L'Occitane (HK$150/250ml) is a breath of fresh air with a blend of five essential oils - chamomile, mandarin, cedar, basil and lemongrass. In addition to providing a clean and gentle scent, the shampoo soothes scalps that are itchy and irritated from dry weather and pollution.

Just like how we like to drink hot chocolate and eat comfort food when the temperature drops, sometimes there's nothing more satisfying than indulging in rich, heady scents during the cold winter months. For those who enjoy the luxury of white truffles but are wary of a hefty restaurant bill, Philip B's White Truffle Ultra-Rich Moisturising Shampoo (HK$680/350ml) will satisfy your craving. Italian white truffle oil is blended with 19 essential plant and flower extracts for a sweet, sultry aroma, while soy and wheat proteins strengthen and hydrate the hair. Available at Lane Crawford and The Oriental Spa at The Landmark Oriental. Another option is the Apivita Moisturizing Shampoo for dry hair, with Olive and Honey (HK$150/250ml). The soothing shampoo gives off a calm, inviting scent while providing hair with moisture, shine and elasticity. Available at FACES, City Super and Langham Place.
