New Makeup Releases: Release Dates, Shades & Prices

Bubble's Holiday 2026 Sets are eight limited-edition skincare kits, from a mini Cosmic Silk toner to a six-product hydrating super set in a travel bag. Bubble, the dermatologist-developed brand behind the line ("Built by Dermatologists," per its site), prices the sets from $10 to $70 (US). They have been on sale at hellobubble.com since 1 October 2026, and the brand also names Target, Walmart, Ulta Beauty and Boots as stockists.

Bubble's UK holiday release is a separate Boots exclusive, covered in our post on the Boots x Bubble Beauty Icons Gift Set 2026.

Ulta Beauty stores and Target get the sets on 25 October 2026, and Walmart US stores on 21 November 2026. Priceline Australia lists five sets from A$18 to A$54. Because they're limited edition, stock can change quickly.

The MAC x LOOKFANTASTIC Exclusive Kit is a makeup set of five full-size M·A·C products: a nude lip trio, M·A·CStack Mascara and Fix+ Stay Over. It costs £55 at LOOKFANTASTIC UK, which values the contents at £124, and it was on sale there by 15 October 2026. The kit also comes with an exclusive M·A·C pouch.

LOOKFANTASTIC is also teasing a bigger Christmas box, the LOOKFANTASTIC Beauty Vault 2026 (£200, worth over £760), which is coming soon.

M·A·C's seasonal launches continue separately with the MAC Holiday 2026 Collection.

Updated 15 October 2026: in stock at LOOKFANTASTIC UK (£55). It is listed but out of stock at LOOKFANTASTIC EU, Ireland, Germany and France (€63.25).

When Did the MAC x LOOKFANTASTIC Exclusive Kit Launch?

M·A·C and LOOKFANTASTIC haven't announced an official release date. Beauty-box news accounts first reported the kit on 15 October 2026. It was in stock at LOOKFANTASTIC UK that day. On the same day, LOOKFANTASTIC EU, Ireland, Germany and France listed it at €63.25 but showed it as out of stock.

Price

• UK: £55 at LOOKFANTASTIC UK. LOOKFANTASTIC values the contents at £124, so the kit costs £69 less than that figure. LOOKFANTASTIC doesn't list a price for each product.

• Exclusive M·A·C pouch, shown in the product photos as a black knotted pouch

That makes five full-size products: three lip products, one mascara and one setting spray. LOOKFANTASTIC doesn't give sizes for the lip pencil or the lipstick, so no total size can be calculated.

Products and Shades

LOOKFANTASTIC describes the kit as "Five icons, one effortless look. Discover the ultimate nude lip pairing, stacked lashes and 24-hour makeup-setting power in a kit exclusive to LOOKFANTASTIC." The three lip products form a nude lip trio:

• Whirl is the lip liner.
• Thanks, It's M·A·C is the sheer-shine lipstick.
• Behaved is the gloss.

LOOKFANTASTIC's gallery shows separate lip swatches of each shade on three skin tones. It also shows a before-and-after of the mascara on one eye.

What Makes the MAC x LOOKFANTASTIC Exclusive Kit Different?

• It is currently listed as a LOOKFANTASTIC exclusive and does not appear on M·A·C's UK site.
• All five products are full-size, and the kit adds a M·A·C pouch made exclusively for it.
• It combines a three-step nude lip (liner, lipstick and gloss) with a mascara and a setting spray.

Formula and Packaging

• Fix+ Stay Over: The listing includes cucumber, green tea and chamomile extracts, caffeine and panthenol. LOOKFANTASTIC says the spray is alcohol-free and sets makeup for up to 24 hours. It comes in a 100ml pump mist.

• Lustreglass Lipstick: The listing includes shea butter, squalane, sodium hyaluronate and jojoba seed oil. It comes as a bullet lipstick.
• Lipglass Air: The listing includes coconut, meadowfoam and jojoba oils. It has a paddle-shaped applicator.

How to Use

Press the mascara brush in at the roots, wiggle it through to the tips and keep layering. Finish by misting Fix+ Stay Over from 10 to 12 inches away, with your eyes and mouth closed.

Glow Recipe x Buldak Glass Balm Duo is a limited-edition set of two tinted lip balms and a keychain, inspired by Buldak's Original and Carbonara sauces. Glow Recipe prices the set at $38 in the US, and it goes on sale at sephora.com on 23 October 2026. It is a collaboration with Buldak, the Korean spicy noodle brand owned by Samyang Foods, and Sephora lists it as the Glow Recipe x Buldak Glass Balm Hydrating Lip Treatment Duo Gift Set.

Updated 16 October 2026: the set is now listed at Sephora US (coming soon, $38) and Sephora Canada (C$53), and its sizes are confirmed. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Glow Recipe's other launch this season is the Glow Recipe 12 Days of Glow Advent Calendar 2026.

Release Date

According to WWD, the duo launches in stages. TikTok Shop gets first access from 15 October 2026. The set then goes on sale at sephora.com on 23 October 2026 and arrives in Sephora US stores on 2 November 2026. Trendmood reported that it would also go on sale at glowrecipe.com on 23 October 2026. However, Sephora currently labels the set "Only at Sephora", and it was not listed on glowrecipe.com as of 16 October 2026.

Price

• US: $38 at Sephora. Sephora puts the set's value at $44.
• Canada: C$53 at Sephora Canada.
• UK and Europe: Not yet announced.

Glow Recipe hasn't announced individual prices for the two collab shades.

What's Inside

Sephora lists these items:

• 2 x Glass Balm Lip Treatment, 0.53 oz / 15 mL each (1.06 oz / 30 mL total)
• 1 x exclusive Glow Recipe x Buldak keychain

Shades

• Original is a soft warm brick tint. The brand says it has Buldak's spicy, tangy sweetness and a tingly sensation that visibly plumps lips.
• Carbonara is a cherry blossom pink tint. Glow Recipe says it has a soft creamy finish with a hint of umami.

Glow Recipe's images show:

• a pink box holding the black Original tube, the pink Carbonara tube and the keychain
• the two tubes set in ramen noodles
• texture swatches
• lip swatches of each shade on three skin tones

Where to Buy

• US: TikTok Shop (first access from 15 October 2026, per WWD); Sephora ($38, listed as coming soon)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Canada: Sephora Canada (C$53, listed)
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 16 October 2026: listed at Sephora US ($38, labelled New, Coming Soon, Limited Edition and Only at Sephora, shown as Out of Stock / Coming Soon and not yet purchasable); listed at Sephora Canada (C$53, labelled New, Limited Edition and Only at Sephora); not listed on glowrecipe.com.

What Makes the Glow Recipe x Buldak Glass Balm Duo Different?

• The core Glass Balm shades are named after Bingsoo, the Korean shaved-ice dessert. These two shades are named after Buldak's two most popular sauces instead.
• The set includes a keychain featuring Peppo, Buldak's fiery chick mascot.
• Sephora files the set under Skincare > Value & Gift Sets. Its listing highlights encapsulated ceramides and pink pepper extract alongside the hyaluronic acid microspheres named on the core Glass Balm page.

Formula and Packaging

• Original: According to Glow Recipe, hyaluronic acid microspheres hydrate lips and visibly plump lines, encapsulated ceramides support the lip barrier, and pink pepper extract adds antioxidants. It comes in a black tube with Glow Recipe / Buldak branding.
• Carbonara: Glow Recipe lists the same key ingredients and describes the finish as creamy. It comes in a pink tube.

Sephora's listing says the balms are vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free. Glow Recipe ran a consumer perception study with 42 subjects over one week. In that study:

• 97% agreed lips feel softer and look juicy
• 97% agreed it didn't dry out their lips
• 95% agreed lips look smoother

Sephora's listing says to apply the balm to lips for lasting hydration, glass-like shine and a buildable tint, and to clip the set-exclusive keychain on the go.

What the Brands Say

Christine Chang, co-founder and co-CEO of Glow Recipe, told WWD: "For us, this collaboration is a love letter to the foods we grew up with and the culture and global community that shaped us."

Co-founder Sarah Lee said Buldak "has been one of the most impactful examples of Korean culture traveling the world through shared experience and social conversation."

Abbas Arslan, Buldak's VP of marketing, added: "Partnering with Glow Recipe lets us meet that community in a completely new space."

The duo joins a run of food-brand beauty collaborations listed by WWD, including Bag Balm x Fishwife, a Chipotle x Wonderskin lip stain and Bubble x Poppi lip balms. We've also covered two other food-themed lip launches: the iota / Chiquita Banana Lip Treatment and the e.l.f. Squeeze Me Flavor Flashback Lip Balm. Browse more lip launches in our makeup section.

It costs €250 for 100 ml and went on sale at maisonmataha.com on 14 October 2026. The French niche fragrance house created it as a stronger reinterpretation of its crème brûlée-inspired icon, Escapade Gourmande.

Updated 15 October 2026: in stock at maisonmataha.com (EU and international stores) and at Luckyscent (US).

When Did the Maison Mataha Escapade Gourmande Grand Cru Launch?

Maison Mataha hasn't announced an official release date. The product listing went live on maisonmataha.com on 14 October 2026, and fragrance news accounts on Instagram reported it as "out now" the same week. By 15 October 2026, it was also listed and in stock at Luckyscent in the US.

Price

Escapade Gourmande Grand Cru comes in one size, 100 ml. On Maison Mataha's own storefronts, it is priced at:

• Europe: €250 (EU store)
• US: $290 (international store)
• UK: £220 (international store)
• Canada: CA$415
• UAE: AED 1,050

Luckyscent lists it at $290 in the US. For comparison, the original Escapade Gourmande Extrait de Parfum (100 ml) costs €190, $215 or £164 on the brand site.

Maison Mataha Escapade Gourmande Grand Cru Fragrance Notes

Maison Mataha's official pyramid:

• Top: Cristal vanilla absolute, Peru balsam essence
• Heart: black sugar accord, tonka bean absolute
• Base: Bourbon vanilla absolute, musk accord

What Does Maison Mataha Escapade Gourmande Grand Cru Smell Like?

According to the official notes, it opens on vanilla and resinous Peru balsam. Caramelised black sugar and tonka bean follow in the heart, and a second vanilla with musk sits at the base. Like the original, it is built around the memory of crème brûlée. According to Maison Mataha, the two vanilla absolutes give it "more richness, texture and sensuality." The brand also says the black sugar reveals an "intensely caramelised facet" and the musks extend it into a "velvety, enveloping" trail.

Crème brûlée is a recurring theme this season, with launches such as the Gisou Crème Brûlée Collection.

Both share the crème brûlée theme, black sugar, tonka and musk. Grand Cru moves black sugar to the heart and adds two named vanilla absolutes and Peru balsam.

Where to Buy

• UK: Maison Mataha (£220); UK retailers not yet confirmed
• Canada: Maison Mataha (CA$415)
• Europe: Maison Mataha EU store (€250), serving France and Poland, among other countries

Checked 15 October 2026: in stock at maisonmataha.com (EU and international stores) and at Luckyscent (US). Maison Mataha lists 194 points of sale in 36 countries, but specific retailers stocking Grand Cru are not yet confirmed. According to the brand, orders from its own site include complimentary worldwide shipping and a complimentary Discovery Set.

What Makes the Escapade Gourmande Grand Cru Different?

• It is labelled an Absolu de Parfum at 35% concentration, while the original is an Extrait de Parfum.
• It names two separate vanilla absolutes, Cristal and Bourbon, plus Peru balsam essence, none of which appear in the original's pyramid.
• It comes in a textured gold bottle with a gold flower-shaped cap.

Formula and Packaging

• Escapade Gourmande Grand Cru Absolu de Parfum: According to Maison Mataha, it uses natural Cristal and Bourbon vanilla absolutes, tonka bean absolute and Peru balsam. It comes in a 100 ml textured gold bottle, and the brand says it is conceived and crafted in France.

Other gourmand vanilla launches this season include the D'ORSAY Vanilla Affair Extrait de Parfum and the Balmain Vanille Sculptée Eau de Parfum.

The Too Faced Makeup Must-Haves Limited Edition Set is a three-piece gift set of Better Than Sex Mascara, Love Flush Blush and Kissing Jelly Lip Oil Gloss. Boots lists it at £35, with a stated worth of £71. Beauty Detective reported the listing on 14 October 2026.

Updated 15 October 2026: listed at Boots at £35. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Too Faced's own holiday sets are covered separately in our post on the Too Faced Holiday 2026 Collection.

When Did the Too Faced Makeup Must-Haves Limited Edition Set Launch?

Too Faced hasn't announced an official release date for the Makeup Must-Haves Limited Edition Set. Beauty Detective reported the set at Boots on 14 October 2026, and Boots was still listing it when we checked on 15 October 2026.

Price

Boots lists the set at £35 in the UK. Too Faced UK sells the three products at these full-size prices:

• Better Than Sex Mascara (8ml): £28.00
• Love Flush Blush (6ml): £21.00
• Kissing Jelly Lip Oil Gloss (4.5ml): £22.00

Together those prices come to exactly £71, which matches Boots' stated value. At £35, the set is £36 below that figure. The set's box says "3 full size products", so the comparison is like for like. No US or other regional price has been given.

What's Inside

Beauty Detective lists these three products from the Boots set:

• Better Than Sex Mascara – Original: volumising mascara (full size; 8ml at Too Faced UK)
• Love Flush Blush – At First Sight: liquid blush (full size; 6ml at Too Faced UK)
• Kissing Jelly Lip Oil Gloss – Raspberry: lip oil/gloss hybrid (full size; 4.5ml at Too Faced UK)

The box is marked "3 full size products". Boots' images also show the three products with a light pink makeup bag embossed with Too Faced's heart logo. Boots has not given the bag's size or name.

Products and Shades

• At First Sight is the blush shade, which Too Faced UK describes as a "Warm Pink Flush". Boots' images show a swatch and compare a one-dot and a two-dot cheek look.
• Raspberry is the Kissing Jelly shade. Too Faced says it "smells like Sweet Raspberry", and Boots' images show it swatched on several lips. We covered the formula in our earlier Kissing Jelly Lip Oil Gloss post.
• Original is the Better Than Sex Mascara shade. Boots' images include Too Faced's "after 3 coats" before-and-after graphic on four lash types.

Not to Be Confused With

This Boots set is not one of Too Faced's own Holiday 2026 sets (a face palette, mascara duo, Kissing Jelly lip oil quad, Lip Injection plumper duo and lip kit), which sell on toofaced.co.uk and elsewhere at £21–£32.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed. The set wasn't part of the Too Faced Holiday 2026 lineup sold on toofaced.com and at Ulta.
• UK: Boots (£35)
• Canada: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 15 October 2026: listed at Boots (UK).

Boots is also listing other holiday sets this season, including the Boots x e.l.f. Beauty Icons Gift Set.

What Makes the Too Faced Makeup Must-Haves Limited Edition Set Different?

• It combines three formats in one box: a mascara, a liquid cheek colour and a lip oil/gloss hybrid.
• At Too Faced UK full-size prices, the three products come to £71, against Boots' £35 price.
• Boots' images show the set packaged with a makeup bag carrying Too Faced's embossed heart logo.

Formula and Packaging

• Better Than Sex Mascara: Too Faced says its hourglass-shaped brush separates and coats each lash. The brand also says film-forming polymers lock curl in place and that the mascara is suitable for contact lens wearers.
• Love Flush Blush: According to Too Faced, it is made with 70% skincare ingredients, including hyaluronic filling spheres to help maintain moisture. It comes with a heart-shaped applicator.
• Kissing Jelly Lip Oil Gloss: The brand says it blends sunflower and jojoba seed oils and is "always comfy, never sticky". It has an extra-large doe-foot applicator.

How to Use

Too Faced suggests applying mascara to the lower lashes first, then wiggling the wand from root to tip on the top lashes. For the blush, the brand says to dot it onto the cheeks and tap to blend with fingers or a brush. The lip oil gloss goes on clean, dry lips using the flat side of the applicator.

The r.e.m. beauty Petal Kit is a limited-edition set of treble maker 3-in-1 mascara, a love spell blush & highlight stick, a makeup bag and a keychain. It costs $80 (US) at rembeauty.com, where it went live by 14 October 2026, and the brand lists it as an $88 value. r.e.m. beauty describes the set as coming "straight from ari's current rotation."

Updated 15 October 2026: in stock at rembeauty.com; not listed at Ulta Beauty. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

The Petal Kit is separate from the r.e.m. beauty En Pointe Holiday 2026 Collection, the brand's ballet-themed holiday collection this season with icy pale-blue and silver packaging and nine products, including a Frost & Flutter Eye Makeup Set ($29) that pairs Starlet Lustrous Liquid Eyeshadow in tulle with Treble Maker 3-in-1 Mascara.

When Did the r.e.m. beauty Petal Kit Launch?

r.e.m. beauty hasn't announced an official release date. The Petal Kit appeared on rembeauty.com on 14 October 2026, tagged as new and limited edition, and was still in stock there on 15 October 2026.

Price

The kit costs $80 (US) on rembeauty.com. Bought separately, the two makeup products cost $53: the treble maker 3-in-1 mascara is $24 and the mélange à trois blush & highlight stick is $29. The petal makeup bag and keychain aren't sold separately. The $88 value is r.e.m. beauty's own figure. UK and other international prices have not been announced.

What's Inside

r.e.m. beauty lists these four items in the kit:

1. treble maker 3-in-1 mascara, full size, in midnight black
2. mélange à trois blush & highlight stick in love spell
3. petal black makeup bag
4. petal silver keychain

That's two makeup products (one mascara, one cream blush-and-highlight stick) and two accessories. The kit page lists a size for none of the items, so no total weight is given here.

Products and Shades

love spell is the kit's blush shade. r.e.m. beauty's swatch image describes it as "a deep mauve berry with a cool champagne pearl," and the kit page calls it a "romantic mauve flush." It is a core shade from the mélange à trois range, which launched in January 2026, not a holiday-exclusive shade. The mascara comes in midnight black.

The kit is one of several r.e.m. beauty releases this season, alongside the r.e.m. beauty Prima Palette. For another makeup-bag set this season, see the Free People Holiday Favorites Beauty Bag.

Where to Buy

• US: r.e.m. beauty ($80)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region.

Checked 15 October 2026: in stock at rembeauty.com; not listed at Ulta Beauty.

What Makes the r.e.m. beauty Petal Kit Different?

• It pairs two makeup products with two branded accessories, a bag and a keychain, that aren't sold on their own.
• The brand presents it as a set taken from Ariana Grande's own current routine.
• It is a standalone limited-edition kit, separate from the En Pointe holiday collection, and uses the core love spell shade.

Formula and Packaging

• treble maker 3-in-1 mascara: According to r.e.m. beauty, the formula contains a tetrapeptide complex, phytocollagen and olive oil wax, which the brand says support the look of lash density over time. The brand cites an independent study of 33 participants that reported a 37% immediate increase in volume. The mascara has a tapered-tip brush, and the brand states it is long-wearing but not waterproof.
• mélange à trois in love spell: The stick swirls cream blush and highlight pearls together. r.e.m. beauty lists castor oil and vitamins C and E among its ingredients, calls the formula non-comedogenic, and says it can be worn on cheeks and lips.
• petal black makeup bag: Official photos show a quilted black bag embossed with "petal" script on one side and "r.e.m. beauty" on the other.
• petal silver keychain: Official photos show a silver daisy charm with a "petal" script tag on a clasp.

How to Use

r.e.m. beauty's directions are to sweep the mascara from root to tip, pressing the brush into the lash line and wiggling it for extra volume. For the stick, the brand says to swirl your fingertips over the bullet and tap the colour into cheeks, building it up or keeping it sheer.

The Fenwick Autumn Beauty Bag 2026 is a free gift with purchase holding 11 fragrance, skincare, makeup and haircare products in a green Fenwick pouch. MyFenwick Loyalty members get it free when they spend £150 or more on two or more products at fenwick.co.uk, and Fenwick lists its value at £210. The bag appeared on Fenwick's website by 14 October 2026. Each bag holds four fragrance minis, three skincare products, two makeup products and two haircare products.

Updated 15 October 2026: the Autumn Beauty Bag is shown as available on fenwick.co.uk.

When Did the Fenwick Autumn Beauty Bag 2026 Launch?

Fenwick hasn't announced an official release date for the Autumn Beauty Bag 2026. The listing was live on fenwick.co.uk by 14 October 2026, and UK beauty blogs Beauty Detective and Durbin Rock reported the offer on 15 October 2026. Fenwick hasn't announced an end date.

Price and How to Qualify

The bag has no price of its own. It is a gift with purchase, not a product sold separately. To claim it, you need to:

• Be a MyFenwick Loyalty member, which is free to join.
• Add two or more qualifying products totalling £150 or more to your basket.
• Add the Autumn Beauty Bag to your basket so it is applied free.

Fenwick's page marks the offer with an asterisk for its terms. Fenwick lists the bag's value at £210, while beauty blogs describe it as "worth £200".

What's Inside

Each bag holds 11 products: four fragrance minis, three skincare products, two makeup products and two haircare products. Two UK beauty blogs list these items, and they match the products in Fenwick's official photos:

Does It Work With the Fenwick Beauty Advent Calendar?

According to Beauty Detective, the offer works with the Fenwick Beauty 25 Day Advent Calendar 2026, which costs £250 on fenwick.co.uk. Fenwick says the calendar holds 33 products, 14 of them full size, worth over £1,000. Its brands include Charlotte Tilbury, Amouage and Diptyque, and it comes with two complimentary makeup appointments. Fenwick also says 1 in 50 calendars has a £50 Fenwick Gift Card behind Day 25.

The offer needs two or more products, so the calendar counts towards the spend, but you need at least one more product. For another department-store calendar this season, see the Selfridges Fragrance Advent Calendar 2026.

Where to Buy

• US: Not available (Fenwick is a UK retailer)
• UK: Fenwick (free with a qualifying £150 spend, online). Fenwick hasn't confirmed whether the offer also runs in its stores.
• International: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region.

Checked 15 October 2026: shown as available on fenwick.co.uk.

What Makes the Fenwick Autumn Beauty Bag 2026 Different?

• All four categories in one pouch: the bag mixes fragrance, skincare, makeup and haircare. The Liberty Bath and Body Kit and Selfridges Dream Bundle are other UK department-store sets for comparison.
• Loyalty-only access: Fenwick currently lists the bag as a gift for MyFenwick Loyalty members only. The Free People Holiday Favorites Beauty Bag is another retailer beauty bag this season.

Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Collector Edition Eau de Toilette and Gaultier Divine Collector Edition Eau de Parfum are tarot-themed holiday 2026 bottles. Both contain the original juices, so only the bottle and case change. In the UK, Notino sells the 125 ml Le Male for £128.00 and the 100 ml Divine for £156.00, and both were on sale by 15 October 2026. The two perfumes are sold separately, not as a boxed set.

Updated 15 October 2026: Both bottles are in stock at Notino UK and Notino PL. There is no confirmed US listing yet. Because these are limited editions, stock can change quickly.

This is one of several dressed-up holiday 2026 bottles, along with the Dior J'adore Music Box Holiday 2026.

Jean Paul Gaultier has also announced a new Scandal duo, Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Extase and Scandal Pour Homme Extase.

When Did the Jean Paul Gaultier Collector Editions 2026 Launch?

Jean Paul Gaultier hasn't announced an official release date. ScentAdvice posted a first look on Instagram and lists both bottles as 2026 collector editions. By 15 October 2026, both were on sale and in stock at Notino UK and Notino PL. On that date, Jean Paul Gaultier's UK and France collector pages did not yet show them.

Price

• UK (Notino): Le Male Collector Edition EDT 125 ml, £128.00. Gaultier Divine Collector Edition EDP 100 ml, £156.00.

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male & Divine Collector Edition Fragrance Notes

Jean Paul Gaultier hasn't published a pyramid for these editions on its own sites. Notino UK lists the following notes.

Le Male Collector Edition Eau de Toilette (aromatic amber fougère)

• Top: mint
• Heart: lavender
• Base: vanilla

Gaultier Divine Collector Edition Eau de Parfum (floral, marine, gourmand; perfumer Quentin Bisch, per Notino)

• Top: salty note
• Heart: meringue
• Base: lily

What Does Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male & Divine Collector Edition Smell Like?

Le Male opens with mint, moves to lavender and settles on vanilla. Notino describes "a distinct minty scent", then "iconic lavender... reminiscent of the purity of classic men's shaving soap", rounded off by "sensual vanilla".

Divine starts with a salty, sea-like note, then a snow meringue, and ends on lily. Notino calls the meringue "delicate, delicious and gourmand" and says the lily lends "a distinctive, radiantly feminine character".

The fragrances themselves are unchanged. Retailer visuals describe the editions as "same fragrance, different outfit".

The 2026 bottles are not to be confused with the earlier winter-train and tartan collector bottles. Those are still listed on jeanpaulgaultier.com US as "Last units": the Gaultier Divine Collector EDP 3.4 oz at $182 and the Le Male Elixir Collector Parfum at $180.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed. As of 15 October 2026, a Sephora US search showed no 2026 Gaultier collector bottle.
• UK: Notino UK – Le Male Collector (£128.00); Notino UK – Gaultier Divine Collector Edition (£156.00). Notino currently lists the Divine collector's edition as a Notino exclusive.

What Makes the Jean Paul Gaultier Collector Editions 2026 Different?

• Tarot theme: Notino describes a secret festive evening with candlelight and a tarot deck on the table. Campaign images frame both bottles in ornate, gold tarot-card-style borders on a deep red background.
• Gold mesh with stones: Le Male's torso is set with clear stones in a studded pattern. Divine's corset has red stones arranged in a V-shaped corset pattern.
• Unchanged juices: Only the bottle and the red-and-gold case are new.

For another gold-dressed limited edition, see the FUGAZZI Angel Dust Red Gold Edition.

Formula and Packaging

• Le Male Collector Edition EDT: Notino lists spearmint leaf oil, lavender oil and vanillin among the ingredients. The case is designed like a tarot deck "full of symbols and hidden meanings", according to Notino.
• Gaultier Divine Collector Edition EDP: Notino credits the formula to Quentin Bisch and lists vanillin and jasmine oil among the ingredients. The bottle comes in a tarot-themed red-and-gold case.
