To close out the year, we’re tapping into something deeply personal—scent. For this edition of Your Favourite’s Favourite, friends of BAZAAR and familiar faces share the fragrances they couldn’t stop reaching for in 2025. From quiet confidence to bold signatures, these are the scents that defined their year.
Ever wondered what your favourite wears? From beachy musks to powerful florals, these are the fragrances your favourites couldn’t live without this year.
Scha Alyahya

Scha Alyahya’s favourite fragrance is Giorgio Armani Sì Eau de Parfum—a timeless classic she turns to whenever she wants to feel instantly put together. It’s elegant, confident, and effortlessly chic.
Jane Chuck

Jane Chuck’s pick is Byredo Animalique, a powdery, nuanced scent that leans cool rather than overtly feminine—understated, modern, and quietly addictive.
ALVN

ALVN’s current favourite is Fendi Sempre Mio. With minimalist packaging, a light orange note that’s never too sweet, and a cedarwood base that adds a subtle masculine edge, it’s modern and refined.
Daiyan Trisha

Daiyan Trisha is drawn to drama and glamour with Carolina Herrera and Swarovski’s Good Girl Superluxe Collector’s Edition—it’s bold, feminine, and unapologetic her.
Eyka Farhana

Eyka Farhana’s forever favourite is Good Girl Gone Bad by Kilian Paris, a scent she always finds her way back to. Lately, she’s also been loving Amouage Guidance 46, a fragrance now forever tied to memories of her wedding day.
Meerqeen

Meerqeen chooses YSL Beauty’s Les Vestiaire Des Parfums Muse, a fragrance that mirrors his journey and personal growth throughout the year—meaningful, evolving, and deeply personal.
Jack Gohr

Jack Gohr names Louis Vuitton Stellar Times as his definitive favourite of 2025. Floral yet never feminine, it’s a confident, quietly powerful scent that’s earned him countless “what are you wearing?” moments.
Kaarthini

For Kaarthini, it’s Hermès Barènia, a truly unique fragrance that works effortlessly across seasons, making it a versatile staple in her collection.
Vanizha Vasanthanathan

Vanizha Vasanthanathan’s favourite of 2025 is YSL Beauty’s Libre Eau de Parfum. With notes of lavender, orange blossom, and musk, it feels confident, feminine, and timeless—her everyday signature.
Nicole Chen

Nicole Chen is obsessed with Fugazzi Orange Crush. Think expensive tan, a drink in hand, and a glowing sunset by the beach.
Sherry Amin

Sherry Amin’s answer came easily: Diptyque Orphéon. Spicy yet soft, it’s the perfect balance—much like her—and a scent she reaches for again and again.
Alisha Azuddin
The Beauty Director at Harper’s BAZAAR Malaysia, Alisha first set her sights on a career in sports journalism before pivoting to beauty during her university years—and she’s stayed in that lane ever since. While her love for sports remains strong (these days, purely from the stands), she’s found her true calling in the beauty and wellness space. Equal parts storyteller and trend spotter, she believes that a good lip combo and a great skincare routine can change more than just your mood.
