Here are the must-try scents that have captivated our senses this year, so far.
Le Labo Eucalyptus 20
Imagine standing in the middle of an endless desert, where the air shimmers with heat, and the scent of eucalyptus is a rare, refreshing gift. Le Labo’s Eucalyptus 20 embodies this sense of vastness and solitude, blending the crispness of eucalyptus with the grounding strength of cedarwood. A touch of labdanum adds a leathery richness, while musk and frankincense create a smooth, enveloping finish. A fragrance that feels clean, yet deeply warm—it’s a perfect companion for those who crave a scent that whispers of escape and quiet contemplation.
Guerlain Pêche Mirage
Guerlain’s Pêche Mirage is a mesmerizing dance of fruit and sensuality, beginning with a burst of juicy peach, its sun-ripened sweetness intensified by the exotic spice of saffron and tart blackcurrant. As the fragrance unfolds, osmanthus adds a velvety, almost leathery floral nuance, creating a tension between fresh and sultry. Finally, a base of creamy sandalwood and amber tincture envelops the skin in an irresistible warmth, making this scent as addictive as it is elegant.
Jo Malone London Taif Rose
Nestled in the foothills of Saudi Arabia’s Taif mountains, a rare rose blooms with an unparalleled richness. Jo Malone’s Taif Rose captures this exquisite flower at its most luminous, infusing it with an unexpected warmth. A fresh, petal-soft rose infusion introduces the scent with a crisp, green brightness. At the heart, the Taif rose unfurls, its jammy, syrupy richness making it utterly addictive. The unexpected twist? A base of coffee that adds depth and sensuality, leaving behind a trail that is both intoxicating and unforgettable.
Diptyque Orphéon Eau de Parfum
A love letter to Paris in the 1960s, Diptyque’s Orphéon is a fragrance that breathes life into the storied jazz clubs of Saint-Germain. Smoky yet elegant, this scent swirls with the nostalgic aroma of warm cedarwood, recalling the burnished wood of bar counters and tables. Tonka bean adds a creamy, tobacco-like depth, while juniper berries lend a crisp, cocktail-inspired freshness. A Diptyque classic, the Orphéon is relaunched and reimagined into various limited-edition offerings too.
Tom Ford Bois Pacifique Eau de Parfum
Tom Ford’s latest eau de parfum transports you to an endless, sunlit horizon where nature’s grandeur unfolds in layers of warmth and vitality. A radiant opening of cardamom and turmeric essence sets the stage, while akigalawood™ infuses a spicy freshness that feels both invigorating and sensual. As the fragrance deepens, a rich blend of olibanum, orris butter, and sandalwood creates an opulent, woody base reminiscent of towering forests bathed in golden light. Cedar and oakwood lend a multi-dimensional depth, while amber-vanilla notes add a touch of refined warmth. The result? A scent that captures the grandeur of nature and the promise of adventure.
