For self-confessed beauty junkies, nothing is more satisfying than a new perfume discovery, especially one that has received the much-coveted celebrity seal of approval.

What is the story behind Régime des Fleurs?
Founded in 2014 by Alia Raza, Régime des Fleurs is known for its unique approach. Overtly conceptual, the brand takes inspiration from nature, history and art and this is reflective not only in its scents, but its extremely thoughtful, interesting packaging.
"Of all senses, smell is the most primal and affecting, and I've always followed my instincts when creating scents," Alia says. "Inspired by my life and experiences, each one tells a story created by me to be experienced and interpreted by you."
Alexa's scent obsession comes just after she redefined a party dressing classic.
