How to Use

Spritz the colognes onto the wrists, neck and pulse points, either on their own or layered with a second scent. Lather the body & hand wash in wet hands and rinse, and massage the body crèmes into the skin.

If you've ever wanted to unlock the Maison's whole beauty wardrobe in one go, this is it. The Christian Louboutin Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 is a limited-edition countdown that packs 24 pieces into a red lacquered-look chest, mixing Fétiche fragrances, signature lipsticks and collectible lipstick charms.

Carolina Herrera La Bomba Intensa Eau de Parfum is a more intense flanker of La Bomba, with wild berries, Venezuelan orchid and red amber. Carolina Herrera prices it at $172 for 80ml in the US, and Lookfantastic lists it at £132 RRP for 80ml in the UK. It was in stock by 30 September 2026 and is available now in select markets, in a berry-red version of the brand's butterfly bottle.

When Did the Carolina Herrera La Bomba Intensa Launch?

Carolina Herrera hasn't announced an official release date. The fragrance was in stock by 30 September 2026. On 7 October 2026, Lookfantastic in the UK listed the 80ml as "New In" and in stock. It is one of several fruity women's flankers that reached shelves in late September 2026, alongside the Marc Jacobs Just Perfect Eau de Parfum.

Price

• US: $172 for 80ml (2.7 oz) at Carolina Herrera.
• UK: £132 RRP for 80ml at Lookfantastic.
• 30ml and 50ml: prices not stated in our sources; see the retailer for current pricing.

Carolina Herrera La Bomba Intensa Fragrance Notes

Carolina Herrera's product page describes the scent in three stages:

• Top: juicy wild berries
• Heart: Venezuelan orchid
• Base: red amber (the note the brand says "lingers")

What Does Carolina Herrera La Bomba Intensa Smell Like?

Built from the official notes, it opens fruity with wild red berries. A floral orchid heart follows, and it settles into a warm amber base. According to the brand, the opening has a "raspberry-red mood," the orchid adds "sensual, creamy floral depth," and the red amber leaves "a bold, warm and long-lasting trail." Lookfantastic describes it as "a confident floral-amber fragrance with a fruity edge."

The brand calls the new version "more theatrical, more passionate, more intense" than the original. It says perfumers Christophe Raynaud, Louise Turner and Quentin Bisch created it to amplify La Bomba's emotional energy. Carolina Herrera says it is made for glamorous evenings and special occasions, and can also be worn during the day by those who prefer a richer scent. On the name, Carolina A. Herrera says: "'Intensa' describes someone who lives and feels everything fully – unapologetically emotional, even dramatic – because embracing what is 'too much' can lead to something truly extraordinary."

Where to Buy

• US: Carolina Herrera ($172, 80ml)
• UK: Harrods (50ml, see retailer for price); Lookfantastic (£132 RRP, 80ml)
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: Carolina Herrera international lists the 80ml; availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 7 October 2026: in stock at Lookfantastic UK (80ml).

What Makes the La Bomba Intensa Different?

• It swaps the original's pitaya, red frangipani, cherry peony and solar vanilla for wild berries, Venezuelan orchid and red amber.
• Carolina Herrera lists it as floral ambery fruity, while the original is listed as floral fruity ambery.
• The butterfly bottle is recast in berry-red glass with a matching jewel-like cap.

Both are Eau de Parfums in the butterfly bottle. According to Carolina Herrera, Intensa differs from the original with deeper amber warmth and a richer, more powerful trail. It is another 2026 release in which a brand adds a deeper version to an existing line, as Issey Miyake did with the Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey Parfum.

Bottle, Formula and Sizes

The signature butterfly silhouette comes in berry-red glass, finished with a matching jewel-like cap and the golden Insignia. The 50ml size is refillable. In the US it is sold in 1 oz, 1.7 oz (Refillable Edition) and 2.7 oz bottles. The La Bomba line also includes La Bomba Shimmering Body Oil (5.1 oz) and La Bomba Body Cream (6.8 oz).

Lookfantastic's ingredient list begins with alcohol denat., parfum (fragrance) and aqua. It also includes bergamot peel oil and the colourants CI 14700 (Red 4) and CI 60730 (Ext. Violet 2). Carolina Herrera recommends spraying onto pulse points such as the neck and wrists, applying to warm areas of the body and avoiding rubbing.

Skylar's Fated Flame Eau de Parfum is a new oud fragrance with cherry purée, chocolate ganache and a base of oud, amber and sandalwood. It arrived on the Sephora app on 6 October 2026 and went on sale nationwide in the US on 8 October 2026. It costs $96 for 1.7 oz at both Skylar and Sephora, and $33 for the travel spray on Skylar's US site. According to Skylar, the fall 2026 scent is designed for people who are curious about oud but put off by its heavier side.

Release Date

Fated Flame arrived as a Sephora app exclusive on 6 October 2026 and went on sale nationwide in the US on 8 October 2026. Before launch, Skylar opened a waitlist through the link in its Instagram bio. It is one of several October 2026 launches in our fragrance releases, alongside the Laura Geller Tuscan Sun Eau de Toilette.

Price

• US (Skylar): $96 for the 1.7 oz Eau de Parfum, the same price as the brand's other full-size fine fragrances; $33 for the travel spray.
• US (Sephora): $96 for 1.7 oz / 50 ml.
• UK and Europe: Not yet confirmed.

Skylar Fated Flame Fragrance Notes

Skylar highlights three key notes: cherry purée, chocolate ganache and oud. Its full pyramid is:

• Top: bergamot, cherry purée, ginger zest
• Heart: black rose, orris butter, chocolate ganache
• Base: amber, oud, sandalwood

What Does Skylar Fated Flame Smell Like?

The opening pairs cherry with citrus from bergamot and spice from ginger zest. The heart combines rose, orris and chocolate. The base sets oud against amber and sandalwood.

Skylar describes the opening as "juicy, jammy black cherry" and says the chocolate ganache adds a gentle sweetness. The brand calls the base "dark, sexy, and quietly elevated" and says the oud stays soft and subtle from first spray to final dry-down. On its product page, Skylar describes Fated Flame as "oud reimagined - rich, fruity, and warm," with "a softened oud, smoothed by sandalwood and amber."

The page also carries this quote: "I wanted to create the perfect oud - sexy, moody, and just a little fruity. Dark and sultry, but never too much. She simmers, revealing something new with every wear. She's the oud I've always wanted but couldn't find, so I made her myself."

Skylar's earlier launches include the Skylar Sunkissed Dahlia Eau de Parfum, a dahlia, apple and amber scent, and the fresher SKYLAR Water's Edge - Apple Cucumber Waterlily.

Where to Buy

US: Skylar – Fated Flame Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz ($96); Skylar – Fated Flame Travel Spray ($33); Sephora. Sephora lists the 1.7 oz / 50 ml bottle at $96. Skylar's site offers free US shipping on orders over $50.

Checked 20 October 2026: both sizes in stock on Skylar's US site; the 1.7 oz bottle listed at Sephora US (Sephora's site blocks stock checks).

UK: Not yet confirmed.

Europe: Not yet confirmed.

Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes Fated Flame Different?

• Skylar positions it as an introduction to oud, with the oud softened by sandalwood and amber.
• It pairs oud with dessert notes, chocolate ganache and cherry purée, which Skylar lists among its three key notes.
• It launched in two formats, a 1.7 oz bottle and a travel spray, with two days of Sephora app access before the US nationwide launch.

Bottle, Formula and Application

• Fated Flame Eau de Parfum (1.7 oz): a square glass bottle with a burgundy-to-black gradient, with "SKYLAR" and "Fated Flame" written in pink script.
• Fated Flame Travel Spray: a slim cylinder with a silver cap and the same burgundy-black gradient label reading "Eau de Parfum."

Skylar lists the ingredients as Organic Sugar Cane Alcohol Denat., Parfum/Fragrance and Aqua/Water/Eau. The brand recommends applying it to pulse points such as the wrists, neck and below the ears, and tapping the wrists together rather than rubbing them.

Glasshouse Fragrances' A Very Merry World Holiday 2026 collection comprises six limited-edition 380g scented candles in illustrated tins. Each candle costs $60 in the US and is sold separately, not as a boxed set. The collection went on sale on 24 September 2026. Artist Jeffrey Phillips illustrated the tins, which Glasshouse describes as "six fragrances, six festive worlds". Each design includes characters and hidden details, with laser-cut windows that let the candlelight glow through.

Release Date

The collection was listed on the Glasshouse website on 24 September 2026 and is available now. The brand's two 2026 advent calendars went on sale the same day.

Price

All six candles cost the same within each market:

• US: $60
• Australia: A$64.95
• New Zealand: NZ$69.95

The Six Holiday 2026 Candles: Notes and Scents

Glasshouse lists each candle's notes in groups. We give them in the brand's order rather than as a top, heart and base pyramid.

Gingerbread House

Listed notes: cedarwood, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper; vanilla, tonka bean, amber.

According to Glasshouse, caramel, ginger and warm spice blend with bourbon vanilla, and the candle "smells like gingerbread dough with caramel drizzled on top." The tin has a gingerbread-style house front. The brand says the artwork imagines a sugar-dusted forest and candy-coated cottage where elves, fairies, toy soldiers and talking reindeer gather.

Christmas Morning

Glasshouse subtitles this one "Spiced Blood Orange & Pine". The brand describes aromatic pine, juicy blood orange, smoky cinnamon, clove and warm musk, summed up as "cinnamon, clove and orange with hints of pine." It comes in a green tin with a lit window scene of a family. According to Glasshouse, the artwork moves the celebration to a safari lodge beneath golden African skies, with baobab trees and long-table feasts.

Night Before Christmas

Listed notes: plum, lemon, lavender, rose.

Glasshouse calls this plum-pudding scent a cult favourite. The brand lists blackcurrant, plum, lemon and lavender, and sums it up as "blackcurrants with a hint of rose and musk." It comes in a red townhouse tin. The brand says the artwork depicts a celebration at a grand British country estate with roaring fireplaces.

Under The Mistletoe

Listed notes: apple, red berries, cinnamon, clove bud.

Glasshouse subtitles this one "Spiced Apple & Red Berries". The brand adds vanilla and sweet caramel, and describes the scent as "shortbread with caramel apples and cinnamon sprinkled on top." The tin shows a white house with a blue door. According to Glasshouse, the scene is a classic Australian Christmas at a white weatherboard home, with barbecued prawns, children in the pool and Santa in board shorts.

White Christmas

Listed notes: fresh aldehydes, greens, orange; eucalyptus, oak moss, fir balsam, plum, lemon; cedarwood, pine, amber, musk.

According to Glasshouse, cedar leaf, fruity clove, eucalyptus and fir balsam sit over warm woods and amber. The brand's one-line summary is "mulled wine with a fresh pine sprig." It comes in a silver tin with a snowy alpine lodge scene. Glasshouse describes the scene as an Alpine escape with snow-draped peaks, stone fireplaces and midnight tobogganing.

Winter Wonderland

Listed notes: pine needles, eucalyptus, apple; red fruits, fir balsam, spruce.

Glasshouse describes freshly cut fir and spruce with pine needles, eucalyptus and cedarwood, summed up as "a fresh spruce tree with the warmth of cedarwood." The tin shows a red-brick townhouse on a green background. According to the brand, the artwork depicts a Christmas party in a Tribeca loft with contemporary art and an avant-garde tree.

• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Australia: Glasshouse Australia (A$64.95 each)
• New Zealand: Glasshouse New Zealand (NZ$69.95 each)
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the Glasshouse Holiday 2026 Candles Different?

• Each tin shows a different setting, according to Glasshouse: a gingerbread forest, an African safari lodge, a British country estate, an Australian weatherboard home, an Alpine lodge and a Tribeca loft.
• Laser-cut windows in the tins let the candlelight glow through the artwork.
• The six candles span four Glasshouse fragrance families: Gourmand, Fruity/Woody, Floral, Woody and Fresh.

Formula and Packaging

According to Glasshouse, each candle uses a soy blend wax and two lead-free cotton wicks, is free of parabens, silicones and PEGs, and has a burn time of up to 80 hours. Once a candle is finished, the illustrated tin can be kept as a decoration. For another holiday 2026 home-fragrance candle launch, see The White Company 12 Days of Fragrance Votive Candle Collection 2026. More scent launches are on our Fragrance releases page.

How to Use

Glasshouse says to trim the wicks to 7mm before each lighting and to burn the candle for at least 1 hour but no more than 4 hours at a time. Keep it away from drafts, fans, air ducts and open windows, and never let the flame touch the side of the vessel. Stop burning when 10mm of wax remains.

Glasshouse Advent Calendars 2026

Glasshouse also released two advent calendars on 24 September 2026. The 24 Days Of Christmas Advent Calendar ends with a 60g Night Before Christmas candle behind Day 24, and the 12 Days Of Luxury Fragrance Discovery is the second. Contents and prices for both are in our Glasshouse Fragrances Advent Calendars 2026 post, and more calendars are on our Beauty Advent Calendars 2026 hub.

Availability update (7 October 2026): in stock at soldejaneiro.com and Notino UK; listed at Sephora US and Sephora Canada.

*Sol de Janeiro says this is based on the evaluation of a trained panel in a blinded quantitative sensory study.

When Did the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 91 Intense Perfume Mist Launch?

Sol de Janeiro hasn't announced an official release date. The mist was first listed on the brand's US website on 29 September 2026, about six weeks after Cheirosa 59, 62 and 74 Intense went on sale there on 17 August 2026. Sephora US and Sephora Canada also list it, and Notino UK sells it.

Price

• US: $34 for 90ml at Sol de Janeiro and Sephora
• UK: £29.10 at Notino UK (the price shown on 7 October 2026)

The original Cheirosa 91 Perfume Mist costs $26 for 90ml at Sol de Janeiro, so the Intense version is $8 more for the same size. All four Intense mists cost $34.

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 91 Intense Fragrance Notes

Sol de Janeiro lists the full pyramid on its website:

• Top: bergamot, passion fruit, cashew, juicy lychee, acai
• Mid: magnolia, Rio pink rose, pistachio, dewy peony
• Dry: solar ambery accord, liquid musk, pink sugar

What Does Cheirosa 91 Intense Smell Like?

Going by the official notes, it opens on fruit (passion fruit, lychee, acai) with bergamot and cashew. The heart is rose, magnolia and peony with pistachio. The dry-down is an ambery accord with musk and pink sugar. Sephora files it under florals.

Sol de Janeiro describes "a rich twist on Cheirosa 91" with "a higher fragrance concentration", inspired by "Rio's magnetic golden hour" and "the start of the night when the rhythm of your favorite playlist takes over".

Both keep rose, magnolia and pistachio at the heart. The Intense adds lychee and acai at the top and swaps the caramel-sandalwood base for an ambery accord and musk.

What Makes Cheirosa 91 Intense Different?

• Higher concentration. Sol de Janeiro says it has a higher fragrance concentration than the original mist and lasts up to 10 hours.
• A new base. The honey caramel and sandalwood of the original are replaced by a solar ambery accord, liquid musk and pink sugar.
• The fourth Intense mist. It joins Cheirosa 59, 62 and 74 Intense, all $34 for 90ml, each with its own metallic cap colour.

Formula and Packaging

According to Sephora, the formula is free of parabens and mineral oil, cruelty-free and vegan. Sol de Janeiro's campaign images also call it dermatologist tested. It comes in a frosted bottle with a metallic cap that, according to the brand, "embodies the warmth of the sunset". Sephora suggests layering it with the Rosa Charmosa Dewy Cream.

Lights Lacquer Musk Be Mallow Fragrance Notes

Lights Lacquer hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid. The brand highlights three key notes:

• Fluffy marshmallow, which the brand says adds a light, airy sweetness
• Clean musk, which according to Lights Lacquer ties the blend together and sits close to the skin
• Dewy waterlily, which the brand says keeps the scent from feeling too sugary

What Does Lights Lacquer Musk Be Mallow Smell Like?

Built from its official notes, Musk Be Mallow pairs a sweet marshmallow note with clean musk and a fresh waterlily note. It sits in the brand's Fluffy, Dewy, Musky scent family. Lights Lacquer describes it as "Fresh. Musky. Sweet. Addictive." According to the brand, it wraps skin and hair in "a fluffy cloud of fragrance" and is "a fresh, musky scent with just the right touch of sweetness." The brand sums up the launch as "same formula, same feel, a whole new scent."

What Makes Musk Be Mallow Different?

• It is a marshmallow, musk and waterlily scent, while Amber Hour is built on vanilla, amber and cedarwood.
• It keeps Amber Hour's formula, 100ml size and $28 (US) price. Only the scent changes.
• Its ingredient list includes patchouli oil (Pogostemon Cablin Oil) and coumarin, which don't appear on Amber Hour's list. Amber Hour's list includes Juniperus Virginiana (cedarwood) oil instead.

Both mists share the same glycerin-containing, ultra-fine mist formula. Musk Be Mallow swaps Amber Hour's warm, woody notes for marshmallow, musk and waterlily.

Formula and Packaging

According to Lights Lacquer's Amber Hour product page and the Musk Be Mallow product page, the shared formula is:

• Lightweight and buildable, for use on both hair and skin
• Glycerin-infused, leaving what the brand calls a soft, non-sticky feel
• An ultra-fine mist, which the brand says is designed for everyday layering and on-the-go refreshes

The listed ingredients are Alcohol Denat., Fragrance (Parfum), Water (Aqua), Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, Glycerin, Vanillin, Benzyl Benzoate, Beta-Caryophyllene, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Pogostemon Cablin Oil, Coumarin, Limonene and Alpha-Damascone.

The mist comes in a clear bottle with a round white cap. The bottle shows the pale golden liquid and is labelled "Marshmallow, Musk & Waterlily."
