Your plus-one this party season? A really good fragrance

There’s something really personal about fragrances, isn’t it? It’s never just an amalgamation of perfectly blended notes; but something that can remind you of a person, a feeling, a sense of belonging or even the feeling of being home. And the best part? Its meaning is entirely your own. Gotta give it to luxury brands for consistently knocking it out of the park and giving us new launches to swoon over. 

This festive season, we’ve rounded up some of the best new luxury fragrances to get you in the holiday mood and make sure you’re the best-smelling person in every room.

Guerlain L’Heure Bleue 

Imagine that fleeting moment when the sun dips below the horizon and the sky turns a dreamy shade of blue – that’s L’Heure Bleue in a bottle. Guerlain’s poetic fragrance pairs powdery iris and sun-kissed orange blossom with creamy vanilla and skin-like Ambroxan, creating a scent that feels intimate, nostalgic and deliciously enveloping.

DIOR Addict Purple Glow EDP

Dior Addict Purple Glow is a playful blend of candied raspberry, powdery Tuscan iris and creamy vanilla whipped cream. It’s almost synonymous to juicy berries dusted with icing sugar, wrapped in a soft, powdery floral finish; indulgent enough to leave a little trail of temptation wherever you go.
