The Best New Fragrances of 2022

The heart of Gucci’s newest fragrance is an amber and vanilla base that bursts with floral bouquets of fresh peony, cardamom, and damascena rose. It’s a versatile and captivating new scent to apply all day this fall.

Give this scent a few minutes to really settle on the skin—only then can you fully appreciate the medley of notes. Like a smoldering flame, the scent is potent at first, then the delicateness of the palo santo aroma and ebony wood soften, lingering fragrantly to make this one of the better musk scents of the year. It’s genderless and chic for both men and women.

If colors bore scent, Versace’s new Dylan Purple would be the gold (or rather, violet) standard. This gleeful scent, which is currently only sold in Europe, but will be available in the United States come February 2023, contains pear, fresh orange, and bergamot, all tastefully anchored by perennial freesia. The undertone of the scent is a soft cedarwood musk that beautifully grounds the notes so they don’t go overboard on the cheeriness. It’s chic for a night out with a black leather dress and a pair of boots.

Of the Oud scents launched this year, this is unequivocally one of the more sophisticated blends. This distinct medley parlays soft cashmere notes of creamy white almond, raspberry accord, and spicy atlas cedar around decadent rose notes. It captures the cozy yet elegant mood of fall without being too ostentatious.

Created to destress the body and mind, The Nue Co.’s latest launch utilizes the power of scents to calm the three areas of the brain: the orbitofrontal cortex, which controls awareness; the hippocampus, which is linked to memory; and the amygdala, which helps sort smells and is associated with moods and emotions. Aside from that scientific jargon, the scent is quite charming—with notes of Indian vetiver and upcycled bergamot. The most unique and attractive mid note is the clary sage, which brings a sense of fresh tranquility.

The Harmonist takes the art of perfume crafting to another level, merging new medleys of plants, herbs, and fruits to win us over each time. It’s worth noting that this brand also incorporates the principles of feng shui and scent to reunite the brain with certain memories and emotions. Royal Earth, a light and floral new perfume, has three notes that stand out: tropical ylang-ylang, exotic passion fruit, and classic Egyptian rose. They’re lightly dusted by the powdery iris flower to add another yet another layer to the floral concoction.

This fragrance is classically English, all the way. To commemorate their 150th anniversary, renowned luxury perfumer Clive Christian has launched a new fragrance as an homage to glorious, British notes. Aromatic bouquets of bitter orange, lime, and ginger coupled with notes of lavender, mint, coriander, and nutmeg are infused with leather and musk, exuding classic seasonal charm.

This is a weightier, musky, unisex scent that features deep flavors like sandalwood, black pepper, and Frankincense. It’s truly an opaque medley—and draws its inspiration from the mythical woods of Narcissus. We think it’s best-suited to wear in the late afternoons and evening.

In true Thierry Mugler fashion, this a bold, sweet scent that will make an unmistakable statement. A celebration of Calabrian bergamot, jasmine, and savory bourbon vanilla, it’s a tad reminiscent of the brand’s famed Angel scent—but this iteration is far more floral. It’s on the stronger side of perfumes to launch this year.

Fresh fragrance connoisseurs, take note of Eauso’s new Vert line. Joga is a unique and exceptionally chic scent, formulated with magnolia oil, white amber, jasmine, and upcycled turmeric leaf—with top notes of heavenly cardamom and bergamot. It’s also, we might add, a guilt-free splurge—as it is formulated with 99 percent biodegradable ingredients. And, for the first time in the fragrance industry, it boasts the first fully organic and compostable cap, and a 100 percent recyclable bottle.

Jo Malone has managed to bottle the softness of winter snowfall. This scent is light, powdery, and fresh, and fragile on the end notes. There’s even some amber that very faintly warms the white moss brew.

If you’re looking to gift someone a fragrance, you can’t go wrong with this new scent from Loewe. It’s an easy-to-wear amber floral—an ode to Mother Nature herself. The homage is meant to pay respect to the truffle fungi, but most notable are the violet, mimosa, and pear notes. It’s just the right amount of floral and musk to feel elegant but also comfortable.

The saffron component in this scent is nothing short of gorgeous—and with velvet rose, the fragrance is utterly heavenly. It has just a smidge of dark patchouli sulawesi to balance the notes. It’s soft, but has substance, ideal for those who want a lighter fragrance on the powdery side that still is beautifully personal.

If it’s done tastefully, the magnolia flower can be one of the chicest scents. Acqua di Parma has crafted the quintessential magnolia fragrance, giving the flower justice without making it excessively sweet. There is also just the right amount of citrus, kasmin sambac, and rose to make this your signature scent for the rest of the year.

A sexy, smoky fragrance from Henry Rose—the uber-clean and sustainable fragrance brand founded by Michelle Pfeiffer. On the muskier side, this new scent has an attractive orange flower aroma that’s been brewed with rich tonka beans to give more of a savory vibe during the chillier months.

A Drop D’Issey Fraiche is, true to its name, fresh—but also fall- and winter- appropriate. The floral component matches the scent of fresh rainfall, melded with effervescent damask roses, sandalwood aromas, lilac accords, and milky sandalwood. The scent is full-bodied but also effervescent, making it a perfect option for those who don’t prefer musks, but want something new to wear in these chilly last few months of the year.

This long-lasting scent is hearty, fruity, and brims with warmth—ideal if you’re longing for a richer fragrance with personality. Part of the Lauder Luxury Fragrance Collection, Oasis Dawn artfully captures colder fall and winter flavors, applying the rich notes of Moroccan fig with vetiver and orange flower absolute.

Drawing inspiration from the late designer Oscar de la Renta’s luxuriant Punta Cana gardens in the Dominican Republic, perfumer Claude Dir’s concoction is tropically infused with bergamot and freesia, blended with the scents of bamboo leaves and clementine. The focal floral points are magnolia, jasmine sambac, honeysuckle, lily, and peach—with sensual basenotes of cedarwood and amber.

Here are four gorgeous fall scents from Aeir to indulge in: Wet Stone, Grand Rose, Virgin Olive, and Suede. They’re all sustainably made, with revolutionary molecular bioengineering that recreates scent molecules in a lab, rather than wreaking havoc on earth’s natural resources.

You’ll love this roll-on perfume just a little more each time you wear it. It’s a simplified but spellbinding green flavor that’s clean and herbal, but still quite lavish. Infused with sublime ionian bergamot fruit (which gives a perfect citrus note), damask rose, and pink peppercorn, this is quite an artful scent.

A harmonious ode to the delicate and fragrant violet flower, the distinctiveness in Hermès’s newest scent lies with the very end notes that contain a tasteful aromatic hint of the famed Hermès Volynka leather. It’s also clearly evocative of their clientele; reserved but compelling and confident without needing to announce it to the whole world. It’s an exceptional fragrance for those who prefer lighter scents with substance.

Kate Moss’s foray into beauty and wellness is a definitive triumph. Her newly launched scent from her Cosmoss line is a beautifully crafted, mood-boosting fragrance with top notes of sumptuous orange flower and bergamot, which parlay into a floral incantation of tuberose, geranium, and timeless jasmine. The end note has a pleasing oak moss that gives the scent an aura of sensuality.

Another new entry into the fragrance sector: Vintner’s Daughter, which has put forth its own scent on the light and herbal side. The aroma is verdant while encompassing wispy layers of fragrant violet, moss, bay, and jasmine that vividly culminate images of lush forests. It feels sophisticated, calm, and green. We loved the rollerball application, as well.

Three distinguishing scents recently redefined by Dior Perfume creation director Francis Kurkdjian, this fragrance trilogy revives the founding notes of La Collection Privée Christian Dior, which Kurkdjian re-released for the first time since their creation with a sleek, understated design. The three fragrances revisit with elegance and originality the fundamentals of perfumery: Eau Noire is a rhapsodic lavender with a deeper middle base; Cologne Blanche is a powdery orange blossom, and Bois d’Argent is a melodic ode to the iris flower against a harmonic frankincense note.

This is one of the sexiest takes on the musky rose realm to ever be created—and it surely deserves a place on our best fragrances list. This smoldering scent is almost an incantation for getting intimate, and should be worn by those who know how to handle its power. Breathe in the bouquets of Damascus rose dancing around the lighter notes of frankincense and faint vanilla upon application.

One of the more unique scents to come out this year, Leland Francis’s La Reina really smells divine if you prefer cleaner notes on your pulse points. Sage and bergamot blend with geranium and rose for a lush, green element—with very light hints of patchouli that blend warmly with labdanum flower to add warmth at the end notes.

The classic perfume house’s newest launch is an olfactory poesy to early daybreak in New York City. There are three notes that stand out here: sweet pea, mock orange, and Egyptian jasmine, which is universally regarded as the most potent and high-grade of all the jasmine oils. The end note is a sandalwood white musk that acts almost as a soft blanket, enveloping the scents while keeping them grounded.

This is one of our favorite Krigler scents to launch, boasting a captivating concoction of bergamot, Sicilian blood orange, caraway, and white musk. An ode to the French Riviera, Krigler has always nailed exactly what the jet set craves in terms of chic, perennial scents.

White florals jasmine and neroli are crafted together for a hearty floral with additional notes that take the scent one step further, tastefully—by combining a savory amber musk, pear, and Madagascar vanilla to center the aroma a bit so it’s not overly floral. Prada’s latest release will appeal to those who love floral scents on the warmer side.

Leave it to Aerin Lauder to really grasp the power of the rose flower. A blend of pink Indian rosa bourboniana comes together with precious red Turkish roses; even spraying it out of the gorgeous opaque bottle feels like we’re doing something right. (It almost feels as if I just ordered ten rolls of her bespoke wallpaper for my bedroom). This will be a classic scent for the Aerin fragrance lineup, and unlike other rose scents that are either over-musked or over-sweetened, Rose de Grasse feels cultivated and distinguished. We love this as an all-year-round, signature fragrance.

The potent jasmine flower is the focal point of this aromatic and floral presentation. The brew is also infused with a creamy vanilla and bourbon ethically sourced in Madagascar. All in all, it lays on the skin nicely and keeps its fragrance throughout the day.

A garden-fresh scent that marries Lily of the Valley and cedarwood for the principal scents. It feels very clean and soft—a great casual Sunday fragrance to add some floral femininity.

This latest launch from Lancome’s Idôle collection is a sweet floral that adds a warm caramel popcorn accord and vanilla bourbon to the senses for an overall uplifting scent.

Here’s a happy, upbeat, and uncomplicated (unlike most people on this earth) scent. Marly has created a luxuriously scented new body oil in their favorite Delina fragrance, which can be worn on its own. Its citrus-y grapefruit and lychee notes dance playfully with rose and peony.

Ellis Brooklyn’s latest scent layers Madagascar and bourbon vanilla beans with creamy milk accord, coco shell extract, sandalwood, and Amyris. It’s a richer take on the timeless vanilla fragrance, but remains beautifully beguiling in its own interpretation—a lovely scent to consider for fall and winter.

We were very receptive to this clean and beachy scent. Two standout attributes: the citrus notes of orange flower and lemon peel were not overly citrus, and there’s a soft amber and sandalwood that soften the scent over time on your skin. Launched earlier this month, the jovial brew was inspired by the vast, blue Malibu skies.

Precisely the fragrance you’d imagine fashion muse Carine Roitfeld would wear with confidence. This perfectly concocted blend of Indonesian Patchouli weaved with jasmine and gardenia florals can be worn all day and night. The scent has an air of mystery to it, as well as a bold femininity that’s infused with pink peppercorn and cardamom. This combination both sits softly on the skin and summons images of rich silks and velvet floral petals.

This vortex of exotic notes exudes the aromas of the Amazon Rainforest at daybreak. Tree resin and crushed leaves scents are echoed with top notes of White Jungle Flora, invigorating orange oil, along with middle notes of nutmeg, dry amber accords, patchouli, and vetiver. It’s an intoxicating scent ideal for those who prefer robust flavors. Plus, the red oak bottle comes in an eco-conscious, sustainably packaged refillable console.

This bold unisex scent pivots more toward a statement fragrance, incorporating warm, herbal notes of sage, bergamot, vetiver, and musk. The base notes of patchouli and agarwood make this a great choice for those who gravitate toward fuller, heavier-scented fragrances.

The chicest iteration of jasmin—as only Dior could imagine it. The new limited-edition fragrance, Jasmin de Anges, is released from Dior’s coveted La Collection Privée Dioriviera Collection. The notes of jasmine, inspired from the majestic Dior gardens in the South of France, are in the fruity and floral vein, but they’re crafted in a pleasing manner for the senses, including subtle hints of apricot, which keep the aroma balanced.

Fresh yet intense notes come together in By Kilian’s newly launched genderless scent, Kologne, Shield of Protection. There is a charming citrus and rosemary blend that also carries a vivid green, yet woodsy feel—thanks in part to the whispers of cedarwood that round out the notes.

Fresh water envelops the heady scent of the magnolia flower in the newest summer fragrance from Issey Miyake. It’s light, but still lingers with wafts of soft rose essence and sandalwood to deliver subtle feelings of femininity. The hints of musk balance the overall aroma to give it substantial symmetry as a fresh but still adult perfume.

Chanel’s understated yet cool confidence is embodied in its latest eau de parfum launch. The scent was inspired, of course, by the city that forever changed the life of Gabrielle Chanel: Paris. Lemon and tangerine notes bring a clean aroma onto the skin, but in true Chanel fashion, there is a Damask rose middle note gracefully tied in. Hints of pink pepper and patchouli notes appear ever so slightly to give the playfulness some edge.

A sweet and romantic ode to the magnolia flower, this fragrance is emblematic of languorous summer days that turn into long nights, watching the sun set and breathing in the exhilarating delights of summer. Freesia, fragrant orange blossom, and jasmine brings excitement to the mood, with just the perfect amount of amber and musk to keep it alluring. There are even notes of juicy rhubarb that bring a vibrant and sweet tone to the brew.

This uplifting fragrance will revive and awaken your senses. Incorporating jasmine, patchouli, red ginger, and citrus aromatic oils, Clarins’s bespoke concoction has been crafted to revitalize your inner strength and vitality. Natural plant extracts of organic leaf of life and acerola seed enhance the aroma’s radiance, while leaving skin soft and supple. This delicate, non-photosensitizing formula is suitable for all skin types—even the most sensitive.

For those who love soft, elegant, and light fragrances, the newly launched Floating from Liis features luxuriously effeminate top notes of peach and bergamot, spun with spicy wild orchid and fresh linen. It’s clean but still has these cashmere-like layers that end with crisp sequoia wood notes.

An invigorating but very grown-up lemon citrus scent, Jo Malone London’s newest limited-edition unisex fragrance features pops of playful mandarin, vivid spearmint notes, and delicately warmed cedarwood. It’s just a touch of happiness for those who want an upbeat but not overly robust scent.

A light, classic European gardenia fragrance captured in a decadent dry oil, Tocca’s Florence Olio Sublime Profumato was inspired by one of the most romantic cities in the world, Florence. The scent infuses lush pear and bergamot with the star ingredient, gardenia, to create a timeless scent worth wearing all summer long.

Light, feminine but extremely sexy on the skin, this newly launched nubile scent infuses pink peppercorn, Bulgarian rose, and Calypso orchid into a super feminine aroma. There are also light hints of mandarin and white musk here, bringing an inviting energy to the fragrance.

For those who prefer bolder scents, this aroma of leather and vanilla is a fetching unisex blend. The newly launched Bulgari scent is part of their Le Gemme fragrance repertoire, inspired by the labradorite gemstone, which is implanted in the bottle cap. The intense blend also uses natural oud wood, cedarwood, blonde suede, and sandalwood to enhance and lift the vanilla components.

Louis Vuitton’s latest olfactory tribute to the West Coast is City of Stars, an effervescent fragrance that pays homage to the captivating energy of Los Angeles. In collaboration with renowned artist Alex Israel, the scent contains an enticing floral and citrus blend that will appeal to those craving more upbeat and jovial evening blends. Citrus sourced from southern Italy (blood orange, lemon, red mandarin, bergamot, and lime) balances out tiaré flower, monoi oil, and sandalwood, which lend a muskier end note.

This intoxicating jasmine and rose combination is graceful, clean, and unmistakably French-chic. Guerlain’s third Muguet iteration from in-house perfumer Thierry Wasser is an enchanting scent for spring and summer, embodying all that is fresh, floral, and pleasing to the nose. The bottle is the creation of Parisian jewelry designer Francesco Truscelli, and features exquisite semi-precious stones and metals. The scent is not necessarily sweet, but incorporates the corolla flower into a simple, precise, and elegant blend.

Byredo is always on the cutting edge of scent creativity—and this time is no different. Musky yet herbal, De Los Santos caters to those who prefer deeper aromas that still manage to stay fresh. Byredo’s newest fragrance is a tribute to the ceremonial scents of Dia de los Muertos, harmoniously blending garden green sage and earthy musk to give a serious but clean feel to the blend. The gender-neutral scent lightly smells of soft amber and iris toward the end notes.

This scent is provocative, inviting, and very sensual—a fragrance reserved for a weekend holed up in a hotel room with your lover. The aroma elegantly captures the essence of Greek ambrosia; although on the deep side, it is still very delicate. This is not one of those over the top, sugary notes that screams across the room. Kindred Black’s latest release also comes in a beautiful sterling silver recyclable bottle designed in conjunction with the jewelry designer J. Hannah.

If you’ve traditionally shied away from spicier, sweeter warm tones, you may want to reconsider—as this new YSL eau de parfum has a much fresher take. Their latest fragrance lifts the original Black Opium notes, but then also provides a nice, spicy jolt with the addition of sweet green mandarin front and center. It settles after the first hour with notes of vanilla, creamy fig, and coffee; lasts long, and is suitable for day or evening wear.

Dolce & Gabbana has bottled the bright, passionate feeling of the Italian summer sun. Its latest perfume launch uses the original top notes of green apple and Calabria lemon from their original Light Blue scent, while the Italian Love Pour Femme element brings in a soft, woodsy feel with jasmine sambac, white rose, and soft layers of Vetiver and creamy sandalwood. It’s an upbeat and carefree scent perfect for oceanside vacations.

This sweet and musky scent is a spicier rendering of Lancôme’s original floral scent, La Vie Est Belle. The limited release, Oui, contains interpretations of iris padilla, jasmine sambac and Turkish rose, while adding an inviting patchouli note that is sweetened with raspberry accord and ylang-ylang, which lends its own unique grounding factor. The scent can be worn day into evening—and because of the varied florals and spices notes, it’s a perfect scent to wear year-round as well.

L’eau à la Rose rests on the skin delicately and beautifully, with breathtaking notes that utilize a medley of 800 damascena and centifolia roses. It feels like no expense was spared with this concoction, as the French perfumer gently rounded out the rose base with sweet pea accord, magnolia, and a mild hint of musk to ground the notes. This blend comes in a four-bottle roll-on application, making it ideal for travel—or just throwing it in your purse.

Here’s another one of our favorites from Maison Francis Kurkdjian—a truly standout scent for those who love classic, chic perfumes. Its compelling elements radiate the kind of effortless European style you’d see at the Paris Ritz’s Bar Hemingway. The first olfactory element is the wood: an oud that’s sourced from the forests in Laos, giving a substantial yet still ultra-feminine depth to the fragrance. It’s not heavy by any means, and perfect if you’re looking for something sexy and chic for evening.

This sweet, fruity new scent from Ellis Brooklyn summons images of bursting sunshine and rainbows immediately upon application. Its upbeat aroma is best for the warmer spring and summer months. Fig, bergamot, jasmine, and vanilla come together in this gleeful concoction—but it’s the coconut note that makes it most appealing.

If you’re drawn to softer fragrances but still want something alluring, this is a beautifully crafted perfume for you. Decorté’s limited-edition fragrance is light, fresh, and still sexy—an ode to the fragrant Japanese cherry blossom, which is often associated with the art of poetry, purity, and romance. The delicate spring fragrance utilizes rose essence with a top note of lychee (but it’s not overly sweet), followed by middle notes of cherry blossom, peony, and lily of the valley.

Citrus, spice, and all that entices seem to be exactly what Ford’s newest scent is all about. A sultry amber aroma blends with citrus to exude the unmistakable imagery of bronzed summer bodies basking under a warm, eternal sun. Hints of orange spice and black honey deepen the scent. Like many of Tom Ford’s scents, this one surely does not disappoint.

The innovative Belgian designer has crafted a line of ten unforgettably divine scents that take the olfactory experience to another level. Our favorite is Neon Garden—a fresh but serious scent in which mint and Iris become the standout notes, heightening the senses as they artfully play with the base notes of musk and Ambroxan. Neon Garden, as well as the rest of the collection from Van Noten’s new gender-fluid line, can be easily worn from daytime well into the night.

A sublime rose scent that you will surely use frequently this spring and summer. Rose d’Amalfi, one of a three-part fragrance launch from Tom Ford Beauty’s Private Rose Garden Collection, is a light and powdery iteration that is playful, alluring, and, although it is on the lighter side, there is a confidence that goes with wearing this scent. Infused with Italian bergamot, it’s timeless and fresh.

This is a fragrance to consider if you’re going for a sexy and alluring vibe. Vetiver is fused with spicy cardamom, smoky Jasmine sambac, and carrot seed oil to uplift the senses and seduce—plus, Le Petit Skunk Parfum uses the science of olfactory healing in its exotic all-natural, sustainable oil blend. The fragrance promotes inner healing from the ingredient’s vibrational frequencies—specifically, to awaken your third eye (attention: yoga devotees)—and sets out to clear negativity and blockages while promoting creativity and intuition. Modern Vanilla also plants one tree for each sale to help reforest regions in California devastated by record-breaking wildfire seasons.

The lily flower has a sweet, vibrant, floral rendition here that embodies all that is young, fresh, and energetic. It is the fifth fragrance to launch from Dolce & Gabbana’s Dolce line, fusing passion fruit and rose with a base of vanilla and sandalwood to give it a richer depth at the end notes. While the scent incorporates zesty citrus, the base of sandalwood and vanilla ground the end notes to give a more solid presence. The overall combination is an ultra-cheerful play on all that is floral and sugary.

Jo Malone London’s timeless rose scent is paired with magnolia flower to give a gorgeous aroma that will undoubtedly become a one of the brand’s timeless classics. It’s floral without the excessive sweetness—clean but also a substantial amount of presence without being too overwhelming, either.

The rose scent here is sensual, carnal, and all grown up. Combining the intoxicating power of rose with a rich base of vanilla, leather, and patchouli, Narciso Rodriguez’s latest eau de parfum works for all four seasons, day or night. There is a soft note of pink peppercorn you’ll notice at the very end that adds an extra beautiful layer of depth.

This uplifting unisex fragrance blends a floral bouquet surprisingly well with patchouli and vanilla base notes. It comes together softly, but with some depth at the end notes. The floral notes are inspired by the breathtaking gardens of Giverny, France, with top notes of bergamot, green apple, and blackcurrant, plus heart notes of jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang. Giverny is one of six sustainably produced fragrances released by Béatus.

Cheerful but still reserved and chic, the richness of magnolia is key here, steadied by bouquets of iris and rose for an ultra-fresh and colorful spring potion. The formulation uses oils extracts of mandarin, violet leaf absolute, and cardamom, which delicately blend with the magnolia flower to simulate the scent of fresh, early morning blooms. The center of the fragrance—iris, rose orange flower—gives the perfume a gentle, rounded sweetness that settles nicely on the skin with a cedarwood and patchouli base.

If blush was incorporated into a scent, this would certainly be it. Ideal for the spring and summer, this is a soft, wispy, sweet sent that sits on the skin beautifully. The standout notes that are most recognizable are peach and pear blossom, which harmonize cheerfully with mandarin, bergamot and peony. It’s light and airy—but grounded in the fainter top notes by a hint of amber.

A clean yet musky rose aroma, Turkish rose fuses with hints of spicy pink peppercorn in Henry Rose’s second floral scent to debut this week, Sheep’s Clothing. It’s certainly floral, but elegantly so, and on the warmer side. There are comforting notes of warm amber woods that round out this delicate but deep scent.

Inspired by centuries-old Korean scents, Heaven is part of a four-scent launch that honors the sacred four elements. Heaven is on the clean citrus and floral spectrum, echoing fresh and exuberant spring gardens. The rose notes synthesize crisply with green tea and a subtle vanilla to give it just a touch of warmth. This one’s ideal for those who prefer light, upbeat scents.

A flowing genderless scent drawing its olfactory expression from the vibrant Miami lifestyle and cityscapes, this not-overly-sweet strawberry note is balanced with citrus, bergamot, pink peppercorn, and leather. The result is a scent that is layered and fruity, but still smells on the crisp, cleaner side.

An olfactory masterpiece, this deeply personal scent created by Hedi Slimane drew inspiration from the passionate work of poet Arthur Rimbaud, who served as a constant literary influence for Slimane in his youth. The refined lavender notes are harvested from picturesque fields in Provence to provide soft, delicate overtones that are met with layered depths of the gentle and regal Iris flower. The genderless brew of elixirs exudes elegant simplicity and timeless sophistication.

Aerin’s first fragrance of 2022 has managed to elevate the mimosa flower to absolute sophistication, with a fusion that is nothing short of jubilee. The scent draws inspiration from springtime in the French Riviera, encompassing the vibrant colors of the glorious architecture along the Cote d’Azur—not to mention the enchanting surrounding gardens of the region. Notes of tuberose, grapefruit, bergamot, and even hints of woodsy vetiver blend to evoke a sensual yet clean harmony.

This limited-edition collaboration with famed Los Angeles-based florist Maurice Harris is a delightful iteration of the classic rose scent, combining the smell of blooming green gardens with an effervescent mix of rose, chamomile, artichoke, and lychee.

For those preferring a clean, floral, and refined perfume, this might be your newest signature scent.

A bold and resplendent genderless fragrance that manifests excitement, adventure, and sensuality, this pleasingly fragrant potion—developed by designer and model Telli Swift—is rich with flavor but remains soft and magnetic at the same time.

D’Telli is best for nights out on the town—or to an unforgettable, intimate dinner with lovers or friends.

Bulgari’s first scent to launch this year has perfectly captured the feeling of joyous Italian festivities in an ultra-feminine fragrance that works beautifully for daytime and evening. This layered floral scent contains hints of citrus, but really veers more toward the powdery notes of the Spettacolore flower with blends of Iris as well. There is even a very light but noticeable candy scent that emerges at the end of the blend, giving it a feel of fashionable austerity and subtle sweetness.
