Hermès Musc Pallida

Hermès unveils Musc Pallida, a new eau de parfum by Christine Nagel that centres on the rare and highly prized iris pallida. The composition brings together the soft, powdery elegance of iris with the warmth of enveloping musks, creating a scent that feels both intimate and refined. Inspired by the precision of the house’s signature saddle stitching, the fragrance reflects a seamless dialogue between its key notes. Presented in the Maison’s radiant lantern bottle, finished in warm orange and gold tones, the design is complemented by an ivory leather cap with contrast stitching, mirroring the fragrance’s smooth, second-skin character.

CHANEL N°5 EAU DE TOILETTE

CHANEL N°5 Eau de Toilette offers a luminous interpretation of the House’s iconic fragrance, balancing floral richness with a subtle woody undertone. A vibrant bouquet of rose, jasmine and ylang ylang unfolds at the opening, enhanced by the signature sparkle of aldehydes, while sandalwood and vetiver introduce depth and texture. Elegant yet complex, the composition reflects CHANEL’s enduring commitment to craftsmanship, from the cultivation of raw materials to the precise art of distillation and blending. Guided by generations of expertise, each detail is carefully considered, resulting in a fragrance that expresses both refinement and timeless modernity.

Carolina Herrera Stallion Leather Sirocco

Carolina Herrera expands its Stallion Leather line with the introduction of Stallion Leather Sirocco, a limited-edition eau de parfum inspired by the house’s equestrian heritage. Created by perfumer Jordi Fernández, the fragrance reimagines the signature leather accord with a mineral edge, evoking sun-warmed desert landscapes. A date liqueur note adds subtle sweetness, while Akigalawood adds depth through its woody, floral, and spicy character. Developed in collaboration with textile artist Sibylle de Tavernost, the composition balances strength with refinement, offering a contemporary interpretation of leather infused with warmth, sensuality and a sense of open-air freedom.

Bottega Veneta Almost Dawn

Bottega Veneta’s Almost Dawn is a warm and enveloping fragrance that brings together notes of chestnut, truffle and soft vanilla. Rich yet luminous, the composition balances depth with a gentle sweetness, evoking the quiet anticipation of daybreak. Designed to reflect new beginnings and moments of reflection, the scent unfolds with both intimacy and clarity. Part of the Mezzanotte fragrance collection, which launched last year, Almost Dawn continues the house’s exploration of refined contrasts, offering a modern olfactory expression that feels at once comforting and quietly optimistic.

Givenchy LA COLLECTION PARTICULIÈRE INSÉPARABLES

Givenchy introduces Inséparables, the latest addition to La Collection Particulière, drawing inspiration from Hubert de Givenchy’s Haute Couture heritage. The fragrance reinterprets the rose through a contemporary lens, centred around Centifolia Rose from Grasse, one of perfumery’s most prized ingredients. Opening with notes of mandarin essence and bigarade petitgrain, the composition offers a fresh brightness before revealing a soft, powdery floral heart enhanced by ylang ylang. As it settles, vetiver, patchouli and amber woods create a warm, elegant base. Inséparables captures the balance between strength and softness in a refined and enduring floral signature.

Armani Privé Oud Nacré

Armani Privé presents Oud Nacré, the latest addition to the Les Terres Précieuses collection. Created by master perfumer Alberto Morillas, the fragrance explores the contrast between light and depth, pairing the richness of oud with a softer, more radiant character inspired by the luminosity of pearls. At its core, a distinctive mineral oud accord is enhanced by notes of Ambrox and saffron, creating a composition that feels both sensual and refined. Encased in a pearl-inspired flacon, Oud Nacré offers a contemporary interpretation of one of perfumery’s most iconic ingredients through a balance of warmth, clarity and modern elegance.

Loewe Roasted Vanilla Eau de Parfum

Loewe introduces Roasted Vanilla Eau de Parfum, a scent that explores the richness of vanilla through a darker, more textured lens. Creamy sweetness is anchored by oakwood, adding depth and a subtle smokiness, while hints of cognac lend warmth and sophistication. A touch of pink pepper provides contrast, bringing a lively, spicy edge to the composition. Part of Loewe Perfumes’ Crafted Collection, the fragrance reflects the house’s contemporary approach to perfumery, where exceptional ingredients are layered to highlight singular notes in unexpected ways. Alongside oud and iris, vanilla takes centre stage in this refined reinterpretation of a classic accord.
