Fragrance News & New Perfume Releases

Bella Hadid's fragrance brand Ôrebella (stylised Ôrəbella) is adding a new scent to its mist wardrobe. On 1 October 2026, the brand announced Vanilla's Touch, a new Body & Hair Perfume Mist described as "softly sweet." It launches the next day, and only on the brand's own website. Here's everything confirmed so far about the release date, what's new, and how to wear it.

Update (4 October 2026): Vanilla's Touch Body & Hair Perfume Mist is now on orebella.com for $39.

What's New: Vanilla's Touch at a Glance

Vanilla's Touch is the latest addition to Ôrebella's Body & Hair Perfume Mist line. It joins Golden Brulee, Nectar Dew, Gardenia's Whisper, Candied Sand and Neroli's Halo. The brand has only shared that the scent is "softly sweet," and the name points to vanilla. The full list of fragrance notes hasn't been revealed yet, so we'll update this post when the official breakdown arrives.

The campaign line sets an intimate, slightly mysterious mood: "a ritual in the space between almost touching." That fits a mist, which is meant to be worn close to the skin and noticed by someone nearby rather than filling a room.

The Campaign and the Bottle

The visuals are moody and glowing. Bella Hadid kneels in dark water with her hair in a sleek low bun. She wears a draped golden-ochre satin dress with a metallic silver-green scarf and crystal trim, lit warmly against a black background.

The bottle matches that styling. It has:

• A faceted, gem-like amber/bronze-gold body
• A gold faceted cap
• A small red-orange actuator (the spray button)
• A label reading "Body & Hair Perfume Mist, Infused with Rice Water"

The rice water detail is a nice touch for a mist designed to go on hair as well as skin.

How to Wear a Body & Hair Perfume Mist

Mists are a lighter, more relaxed way to wear fragrance. To get the most from one:

• Mist after showering. Spray onto freshly moisturised skin, which helps scent cling longer.
• Spray through your hair. Hold the bottle at arm's length and mist over brushed hair for a soft trail every time you move. This works well with a sleek bun like the campaign look.
• Reapply through the day. Mists are designed to be refreshed, so keep yours in your bag.
• Layer within the line. If you already own another Ôrebella mist, try pairing it with Vanilla's Touch to create your own scent combination.
• Aim for the pulse points. Wrists, the inner elbows and the base of the neck are classic spots for a close, skin-level scent.

Release Date: When Can You Get It?

Vanilla's Touch launches on 2 October 2026, exclusively at orebella.com. Pricing and bottle size will likely appear on the product page at launch. Wider retail availability hasn't been confirmed.

Where to Buy

• US: Ôrebella (official, exclusive at launch)

Jo Loves, the London fragrance house founded by Jo Malone, released Nutmeg & Incense, A Fragrance on joloves.com in September 2026, priced at £135 for 100ml. The fragrance account ScentAdvice announced on 3 October 2026 that the scent was "OUT NOW" and called it a "New Limited Edition". Jo Loves' own product page does not describe it as limited edition.

What's New

Nutmeg & Incense is a new spiced, smoky addition to the Jo Loves fragrance line. The brand sums it up as "a spark of spice, a cloud of incense and a trail of smoky woods."

According to Jo Loves, the scent is "warm, atmospheric and effortlessly elegant" and "captures the comforting glow of spice wrapped in soft, drifting smoke." The brand positions it as "a fragrance for slow evenings, soft light and moments of stillness."

Jo Loves is a separate business from Jo Malone London, the brand Jo Malone founded earlier and later sold. Nutmeg & Incense is sold by Jo Loves only.

Fragrance Notes

Jo Loves lists the following structure:

• Top: nutmeg oil, Madagascar black pepper, allspice leaves
• Middle: coriander seed, kephalis, incense oil, myrrh resinoid
• Base: akigalawood, patchouli oil, cistus concrete, Ambrofix

On paper, the composition moves from dry spice into resinous incense and myrrh, then settles on a woody, ambery base. Akigalawood is a patchouli-derived woody material. Ambrofix is an amber-type ingredient.

Key Details: How to Wear It

Jo Loves gives the following application advice:

• Spray the fragrance directly onto your skin, focusing on your pulse points.
• Avoid rubbing your wrists together, so the notes can unfold naturally over time.

The brand says its Fragrances are designed to last three to six hours.

Where Else the Scent Appears

Nutmeg & Incense also features in the Jo Loves Christmas Layered Candle (250g, £90). The candle burns through three scented layers in this order:

1. Log Fires
2. Nutmeg & Incense
3. Christmas Trees

Jo Loves has not confirmed any other sizes, travel sprays or matching body products for Nutmeg & Incense.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed
• UK: Jo Loves (£135 for 100ml)
• International: Not yet confirmed

The price of Nutmeg & Incense at launch is £135 on the Jo Loves site. No other retailers have been confirmed so far.

Balmain has launched Vanille Sculptée, a gourmand amber Eau de Parfum built on five vanilla notes. It went on sale in Australia at David Jones in October 2026, priced at A$280 for 50ml. The launch was first spotted by ScentAdvice on Instagram. The fragrance is listed as "New In" at David Jones, and an Italian retailer expects stock from November 2026. It does not yet appear on Balmain's US site.

What's New

Vanille Sculptée carries the taglines "Luminous Vanilla & Spicy Baies Rose" and "Sculpted Sensuality." Balmain describes it as "the glow of vanilla sculpted into a work of undeniable depth," with "five distinctive vanilla notes" that layer on each other and move "from nocturnal shadow into luminous light."

The brand also calls it "a work of architectural precision sparked with the scent of peppery baies rose." It says the composition is "grounded in the shimmering, woody sensual scent of Ambrofix™."

Key Details: The Notes

Balmain's official note list is:

• Baies rose (pink pepper): the spicy opening accent
• Vanilla absolute and Vanilla Super: the two named vanilla materials at the heart of the scent
• Ambrofix™ and glowing amber woods: the woody-amber structure
• Benzoin resinoid: a resinous, balsamic base

Fragrance coverage from iFragrance notes that the benzoin gives the drydown a resinous, balsamic finish. This places the scent squarely in the warm gourmand-amber category.

The Bottle and Sizes

The bottle continues the "sculpted" theme. It is amber-gold glass with fine horizontal ridges, a black label and a gold cap.

David Jones offers three formats:

• A 10ml travel spray
• The 50ml bottle
• A 150ml refill

The 150ml refill means the bottle can be topped up rather than replaced.

Release Date and Prices

• Australia: on sale now (October 2026) at David Jones. Prices are A$69 for 10ml, A$280 for 50ml and A$590 for the 150ml refill.
• Italy: listed at €180 for 50ml, with availability from November 2026. The retailer lists it under the spelling "Vanille Esculptée."
• US and UK: Balmain has not yet announced a launch date or local pricing.

How to Wear It

The scent is a dense gourmand amber Eau de Parfum. A light application of one or two sprays to pulse points is a practical starting point. The 10ml travel spray is the lowest-cost way to try the scent before committing to the 50ml bottle.

If your signature scent leans warm, sweet, and just a little dessert-inspired, Le Monde Gourmand has a new mini set with your name on it. The Le Petit Duo Set: Crème pairs two of the brand's gourmand Eau de Parfums — Crème Vanille and the limited-edition Pumpkin Crème — in travel-friendly 20 ml bottles tucked inside a red gift box. Spotted on Sephora Italia and currently listed for €38, it's a tempting way to try both scents before committing to a full size.

Inside the Le Petit Duo Set: Crème

The set brings together two of Le Monde Gourmand's cosiest gourmands in 20 ml minis. The brand sells both scents in full-size 30 ml bottles, shown in the photos below.

Crème Vanille Eau de Parfum

An elevated vanilla the brand describes as timeless and nostalgic, with a smooth, ambery warmth. The pyramid opens on creamy apricot, melts into a heart of vanilla orchid, and settles on a base of brown sugar and golden amber. One reviewer says it's "like being hugged by a vanilla bean" — ideal if you want a soft, everyday signature that isn't cloying.

Best for: vanilla lovers, year-round wear, layering fans.

Pumpkin Crème Eau de Parfum

A limited-edition fall scent that takes classic pumpkin spice in a creamy, comforting direction. Top notes of Pumpkin Spice give way to nutmeg and frothed milk, with a cosy base of musk and sandalwood.

Best for: autumn obsessives, sweater-weather commutes, anyone who wants a spiced-gourmand twist on vanilla.

Layering Tip: Vanilla + Pumpkin Spice

Le Monde Gourmand is built for mixing, and these two were practically made to be layered. Spray Pumpkin Crème first on pulse points (wrists, neck, inside elbows), then layer Crème Vanille on top — the creamy apricot and vanilla orchid soften the spice and extend the drydown into something milky, warm, and dessert-like. For extra longevity, apply an unscented body oil or lotion to clean skin before spritzing, and avoid rubbing your wrists together.

Where to Buy

• US: Set not yet confirmed. Full-size 30 ml bottles of Crème Vanille ($28) and Pumpkin Crème ($28) are available at gourmandbeauty.com.
• UK: Not yet confirmed.
• International: Listed at Sephora Italia for €38 per Italian coverage.

If you love the fresh eucalyptus-and-rose contrast of Abyssae Eau de Parfum, a deeper version has arrived. L'Artisan Parfumeur has unveiled Abyssae L'Extrait, a more intense take on bottle number 33 from the brand's La Botanique collection. Created by perfumer Daphné Bugey, the new extrait explores what the house calls "a living darkness": bright eucalyptus cutting through smoky incense, then settling into a rich, amber woody trail.

What's New: One Signature, Two Depths

L'Artisan Parfumeur describes the Abyssae line as "one signature, two depths." The original Eau de Parfum pairs eucalyptus with rose and cashmeran for an airy, enveloping feel. Abyssae L'Extrait pushes everything further, with:

• More vibrant incense: the brand lists incense (Boswellia sacra) as a key note
• A more sensual rose: reshaped to feel warmer and closer to the skin
• A dark, resinous woody trail: sandalwood, cypriol and ambergris anchor the composition

In Bugey's own words: "To reinvent Abyssae, I intensified its contrasts. I immersed myself in the vibrant freshness of eucalyptus resin and incense, sculpted a more sensual rose, and anchored it all in a resinous woody depth, where sandalwood, cypriol and ambergris resonate with intensity."

The result is a scent of contrasts: cool and bright at the start, then shadowy, smoky and textured.

The Bottle

The extrait keeps the La Botanique look, with a dark teal label marked "33 Abyssae L'Extrait" and a black round cap. It comes in an illustrated box decorated with seaweed and coral motifs, a nod to the fragrance's oceanic name. The brand also offers exclusive Abyssae L'Extrait gift sets. Pricing for these hasn't been published, so check the official site for details.

How to Wear Abyssae L'Extrait

• Start small: with an extrait, a couple of sprays on pulse points (wrists, neck, inner elbows) is a good starting point
• Layer the duo: already own the Eau de Parfum? Try it on fabric and the extrait on skin to play with the brand's "two depths" idea
• Pick your moments: the eucalyptus-and-incense opening suits crisp autumn days, while the ambery woody base feels made for evenings
• Test before you buy: smoky, resinous scents change a lot from skin to skin, so live with a sample for a full day if you can

Is It Worth the Price?

At £295 / $435 for 75 ml, Abyssae L'Extrait is a luxury purchase. It suits fans of incense fragrances, woody ambers and fresh-meets-dark compositions. If the original Abyssae felt too light for you, this is the version to try.

• US: L'Artisan Parfumeur US ($435)

Calling all Night Court devotees: fine'ry is teaming up with Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses for a four-piece ACOTAR perfume collection, and the product listings are already live at Target. Before you add everything to your cart, here's what to know about the products, the prices, and what's really new in this bookish fragrance drop.

The Products: Four Night Court Scents

Each bottle is themed around a Velaris location or character and comes in new packaging with Night Court artwork:

• Night in Velaris – Night Blooming Jasmine & Sweet Amber. Tagline: "Our city, our rules." A sultry, glowing floral for starry evenings.
• Moonstone Palace – Ambery Sandalwood & Warm Moonflower. Tagline: "A lavish fantasy, kissed by starlight." It comes in a dreamy blue bottle and is the creamiest, coziest of the four.
• High Lady of the Night Court – Enchanted Lilacs & Crisp Green Pear. Tagline: "Beauty bloomed from darkness." This fresh, juicy floral comes in a pink bottle, a fitting nod to Feyre.
• High Lord of the Night Court – Celestial Citrus & Salted Air. Tagline: "Ready for anything… all is fair in love and war." It has a black-to-clear ombré bottle, and Target lists it as men's cologne, though anyone who loves a breezy citrus will enjoy it.

What's New (and What Isn't)

Here's the honest part. The boxes read "Signature fine'ry scent [X] reimagined as [Y]." These are existing fine'ry formulas in new ACOTAR-themed bottles, not brand-new juices:

• Night in Velaris = No Prince Required
• Moonstone Palace = The New Rouge
• High Lady of the Night Court = Flower Bed
• High Lord of the Night Court = Ultra

All four are already sold as $29.99 eau de parfums on fine'ry's own site. If you were hoping for original scents, that may be a little disappointing. What's new is the collectible packaging and artwork, which is a real draw for a fan's vanity or bookshelf. If you already own the originals, you're paying for the bottle and the fandom. If you're new to fine'ry, the collab is a fun, budget-friendly way to try the line.

Tips for Wearing Your Court Scent

• Layer them: Pair High Lord with Night in Velaris for a citrus-to-amber combination that suits a mated pair.
• Match the mood: Reach for Moonstone Palace on cozy reading nights and High Lady for brighter daytime wear.
• Apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) and avoid rubbing your wrists together, so the top notes last longer.
• Spritz your bookmark with a little scent for an immersive reread.

Release Date

The Target listings are live, but every item currently shows as out of stock or unavailable both online and in stores, so the collection doesn't appear to have dropped yet. No official release date has been announced. Bookmark the product pages and check back often.

Which Court scent will you pick? To the stars who listen, and the dreams that are answered. ✨

CHANEL has quietly added a new destination to one of its most underrated fragrance lines. PARIS – ST. MORITZ (2026) is the latest LES EAUX DE CHANEL Eau de Toilette, and it marks a first for the collection: a scent inspired by winter. If you love the airy, easy-wearing character of the Les Eaux range but want something cosier for colder months, this one deserves a place on your radar.

What's New: The First Winter Eau

Until now, the Les Eaux collection has travelled from Paris to PARIS – DEAUVILLE, PARIS – BIARRITZ, PARIS – VENISE, PARIS – EDIMBOURG, PARIS – RIVIERA and PARIS – PARIS, but never to a winter destination. PARIS – ST. MORITZ takes the series to the Alps for the first time.

The story goes back to the late 1920s, when Gabrielle Chanel spent time in St. Moritz. She skied, enjoyed winter sports, and dressed in elegant warm outfits, refusing to choose between comfort and style. CHANEL says the fragrance "wears like winter clothing", and that description sets the mood perfectly.

The Scent: Pear, Rose and Musky Amber

Created by CHANEL In-House Perfumer-Creator Olivier Polge, the composition is built around three ideas:

• A fresh, fruity pear accord gives the opening its brightness.
• A floral rose facet adds refinement and a touch of elegance.
• Sensual musky-ambery notes provide warmth and contrast underneath.

CHANEL calls it "luminous and enveloping". It keeps the spontaneous, effortless quality of the Les Eaux line, but the ambery-musky base gives it more softness and comfort than the brand's summery destinations.

How to Wear It

• Layer it with knitwear. A light mist over a cashmere scarf or a roll-neck suits the scent's cosy, "winter clothing" concept.
• Apply to pulse points such as the wrists, the neck and behind the ears, where body heat helps the musky-amber base develop.
• Try it as a weekend signature. Because it is an Eau de Toilette, it works well for daytime, from brunch to an afternoon walk in the cold.
• Start with the 50 ml if you are new to the Les Eaux line, then move up to the 125 ml once you are hooked.

Prices and Sizes

PARIS – ST. MORITZ comes in two sizes:

• UK: £145 for 125 ml and £102 for 50 ml
• France and Germany: €165 for 125 ml and €115 for 50 ml

US pricing has not yet been confirmed.

UK: CHANEL UK 125 ml (£145); CHANEL UK 50 ml (£102)

International: CHANEL France 125 ml (€165); CHANEL Germany 125 ml (€165)

Final Thoughts

CHANEL PARIS – ST. MORITZ is a welcome twist on the Les Eaux formula. It pairs the brightness of pear with the softness of rose and a warm musky-amber base, making it an easy option for winter days. We will update this post as soon as US availability is confirmed.

Shopping for someone whose cologne you can never quite pin down? The Sephora Favorites Holiday Mini Deluxe Cologne Edition 2026 is built for that. Labelled on the box as the Sephora Favorites Deluxe Cologne Sampler, it lets you try eight designer fragrance minis, pick a favourite, and then redeem the included voucher for a full-size bottle of that scent at no extra cost (shipping excluded, per the box).

Timing matters with this one. The set launches exclusively in the Sephora app on 9 October 2026, reaches all other Sephora platforms on 10 October 2026, and arrives in Sephora stores on 12 October 2026. Sephora's holiday samplers tend to sell out quickly, so the app drop is your best chance to secure one.

Products: The 8 Minis Inside

The box comes in a striking blue crystal shard-print design, with a window that shows off all eight minis:

• Burberry Hero Eau de Parfum (5 ml/0.16 fl oz): woody
• Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Eau de Toilette (5 ml/0.16 fl oz): fresh and aquatic
• Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Parfum (5 ml/0.16 fl oz): aromatic

Price: Is It Worth It?

The set costs $98, and the announcement gives a stated value of $189. Beyond the numbers, the real benefit is that you never commit to a full bottle blind. You live with each scent first, then choose.

How to Get the Most From Your Sampler

• Test on skin, not paper. Fragrance changes as it warms, so wear each mini for a full day.
• One scent per day. Layering several at once blurs your judgement.
• Take notes. Jot down how each one smells on application, after an hour, and by evening.
• Try different settings. Something fresh like Acqua di Gio may suit daytime, while By the Fireplace might win for cosy evenings.

A Smart Gift Idea

For anyone who is hard to buy cologne for, this sampler takes the guesswork out of gifting. They explore eight designer names and then choose their own full size. It's thoughtful, generous, and practically foolproof.

Tate McRae has entered the beauty world. On 1 October 2026, the multi-platinum singer and dancer launched TATE 01, her first fragrance. It is an Eau de Parfum made with Scent Beauty, Inc. and composed by Givaudan master perfumers Adriana Medina and Antoine Maisondieu. McRae calls it a "second-skin" scent: effortless, subtly edgy, and designed to enhance the wearer rather than overpower them.

What's New: A Scent That Adapts to You

The standout feature of TATE 01 is ISO E Super, a lab-created woody molecule. It reacts with individual skin chemistry, so the fragrance smells slightly different on everyone. "I'll spray on all of my friends, and it smells like a different perfume," McRae told ELLE. She admits she'd "never gravitated towards florals before." What won her over was the balance between florals and this soft, velvety woodiness. She kept reaching for it every day, and the compliments followed.

The Notes

The official brand page lists the composition as:

• Top: sparkling bergamot, airy clary sage
• Heart: orange flower, Hedione, ISO E Super
• Base: sensual moss, creamy tonka

The launch materials add a radiant white floral heart that dries down into warm amber, tonka bean, sandalwood and soft woods. The result is a comforting, quietly addictive trail. McRae says the brighter bergamot keeps a youthful feel, inspired by '90s supermodels, while the sandalwood side reflects her usual taste.

The Bottle and Campaign

McRae wanted a "classic, simple, timeless" bottle that would still earn its place on her shelf in 20 years. The result is weighty, sculptural glass with soft, fluid curves. The global campaign was shot by Mario Sorrenti and channels effortless '90s supermodel energy against sweeping natural landscapes.

How to Wear TATE 01

• Layer it on warm skin. McRae wears it to dance rehearsals because "the scent warms up and moves with my body." Pulse points and a post-shower spritz help skin-reactive notes bloom.
• Day to night. She calls it a daytime spritz as well as a dinner-and-party scent.
• Try it at bedtime. "I'm a perfume before bed girl," she says. She wears TATE 01 morning and night.
• Sample before committing. Because ISO E Super changes on every skin, the 30ml is a lower-cost way to test it.

McRae has also hinted this is "a legacy beauty brand" with "lots more to come," so a TATE 02 may not be far off.

Where to Buy

• US: Tate McRae official store: $58 (30ml) and $82 (100ml). The 100ml is sold out in the US and Canada for now, and the brand says it's working to restock it.
