Fragrance: Latest Posts

Dior DiOriginals is a collection of 13 restored Dior fragrances from 1949 to 2003, sold as 100ml eaux de toilette for $142–$155 (US) and £110–£130 (UK). It went on sale on 1 October 2026, and all 13 scents are listed on dior.com in the US and UK. The project is led by Dior's Perfume Creation Director Francis Kurkdjian and took four years.

Updated 17 October 2026: Dior's US and UK sites now list prices for all 13 DiOriginals scents.

The Concept: Reconstruction, Not Reproduction

According to Dior, Kurkdjian has not simply reissued the most recent reformulated versions of these perfumes. Instead, he spent four years reconstructing each scent from Dior's archives, working to bring them as close as possible to their original olfactory character and formula, with a contemporary refinement.

Kurkdjian said he used "new technologies that made it possible to recover their original formulas and restore the perfect harmony of their compositions." The collection also revives the iconic ovale perfume bottle, first created in 1949, with a modern twist that ties the range together visually.

The In-Store Line-Up

According to Dior, six of the 13 scents are sold more widely, including in boutiques:

• Diorissimo (1956) — a floral built around jasmine and lily of the valley, reworked with a new texture.
• Forever and Ever Dior (2002) — a musky floral reminiscent of springtime blooms.
• Dune (1991) — a light amber floral citrus.
• Dune pour Homme (1997) — a citrus green woody scent with mandarin and green figs.
• Higher (2001) — a fresh aromatic woody blend of rosemary, cardamom and cedar over lemon and basil.
• Higher Energy (2003) — a fresh spicy woody fragrance featuring grapefruit and absantiss accords.

The Online-Exclusive Seven

Dior said the remaining seven fragrances would be online exclusives, though distribution may vary by country. These are deep archival scents that haven't been widely available for decades:

• Diorama (1949)
• Eau Fraiche (1955)
• Diorling (1963)
• Dioressence (1969)
• Diorella (1972)
• Jules (1980)
• Dolce Vita (1994)

What the Brand Says

Kurkdjian has grouped the restorations into two periods. The first, "Dior in Grasse", honours the work of Edmond Roudnitska and Paul Vacher, and includes Diorama, Eau Fraîche, Diorissimo and Diorling. The second, "Dior in Paris", covers scents from 1979 to 2003, including Dioressence, Jules, Dune, Dolce Vita and the Higher range.

"A perfume should be cherished and looked after like a fragile work of art that is subject to the vagaries of time," Kurkdjian said. "In the same way that luster and colour are restored to a painting, so must the quality, shine and nuance of raw materials be upheld in a fragrance."

On Eau Fraîche, Kurkdjian said he worked to "elevate all the qualities of the citrus fruits (bergamot, lemon, mandarin, orange)" and re-blended its signature aromatic basil-tarragon note, which had been under threat owing to regulations. For Diorissimo, he restored the "white lily of the valley" floral accord using a new quality of jasmine. For Jules, the new version includes readjustments to its spice notes and mosses.

Parfums de Marly Crecy Extrait de Parfum is an upcoming iris and rose perfume and the newest addition to the house's Les Extraits collection.

Status: Not yet announced by Parfums de Marly. Crecy is listed by Unifree duty-free; release details may change.

Fragrance account ScentAdvice and the Olfastory database both give a provisional release date of 2 November 2026. Unifree's Istanbul Airport store already lists the 100ml Extrait de Parfum at €399.99. It joins other 2026 niche fragrance extraits such as the Byredo Havana Tonka Extrait de Parfum and L'Artisan Parfumeur Abyssae L'Extrait.

Updated 17 October 2026: Unifree lists Crecy as in stock at Istanbul Airport duty-free. It is not yet listed on parfums-de-marly.com.

When Is the Parfums de Marly Crecy Release Date?

Parfums de Marly hasn't announced an official release date. ScentAdvice reported a tentative release date of 2 November, and Olfastory lists a provisional date of 2 November 2026. As of 17 October 2026, Unifree lists the perfume as in stock at its Istanbul Airport departure store.

Parfums de Marly Crecy Fragrance Notes

Parfums de Marly hasn't published a pyramid, and the reported notes differ between sources. Iris and rose appear in every source. The opening is given as either jasmine and almond or blackcurrant and lavender, depending on the source. Neither version is official.

Olfastory / ScentAdvice version:

• Top: Grasse jasmine absolute, almond essence
• Heart: iris, rose essence
• Base: iris butter, ambrette, rose accord

ScentAdvice names iris and orris as the key note.

Unifree version:

• Top: blackcurrant buds, lavender
• Heart: rose, iris
• Base: ambrox, resin

What Does Parfums de Marly Crecy Smell Like?

The common ground across all sources is a floral heart of iris and rose. Olfastory classifies the perfume as floral and oriental. Unifree's description calls the heart "audacious" and the base a "warm, comforting trail". It frames the scent as a vision of masculinity "where strength lies in the absence of rigid codes".

The Les Extraits Discovery Set (Carios, Eragon and Valero, 3 x 5ml) costs €90 on the EU site and does not include Crecy.

What Makes the Parfums de Marly Crecy Different?

• According to Olfastory, it is the first in the collection presented as unisex. The other three appear in the brand's men's category.

Nina Ricci Nina Silky Snow Fragrance Notes

Nina Ricci hasn't published a full top, heart and base pyramid for Silky Snow. The brand highlights two key notes: toffee apple and lemon. Its product page describes "chilled top notes of lemon," a floral heart and a comforting trail.

Notino France's listing and Fragrantica give a fuller breakdown:

• Top (per Notino France/Fragrantica): lime, Calabrian lemon
• Heart (per Notino France/Fragrantica): caramelised (toffee) apple, gardenia
• Base (per Notino France/Fragrantica): cedarwood, white musk

What Does Nina Ricci Nina Silky Snow Smell Like?

Built from the brand's own notes, the scent opens on lemon, then moves to a floral heart wrapped around toffee apple. Nina Ricci calls it "a limited-edition women's perfume with notes of toffee apple and lemon." The brand also says it "features the gourmand citrus-floral perfume of Nina Eau de Toilette, a captivating scent that is as irresistible as a mouth-watering toffee apple."

The two share the same fragrance; only the bottle and box are new.

Where to Buy

BOSS Bottled Radiant Orange and BOSS The Scent Cacao Fever are two leaked BOSS men's perfumes: a sparkling citrus and a marshmallow-chocolate gourmand.

Status: Unconfirmed — leaked images. Hugo Boss has not officially announced these fragrances. Product names, notes, packaging and release dates may change.

A first-look image shared by an Instagram fragrance-news account says both flankers were presented by Coty, Hugo Boss's fragrance licensee. The same post says they are scheduled for February/April 2027. The pair joins a busy season of fragrance releases from designer houses.

Updated 17 October 2026: no official announcement yet; hugoboss.com and Fragrantica don't list either fragrance.

When Will the BOSS Bottled Radiant Orange and The Scent Cacao Fever Launch?

Hugo Boss hasn't announced an official release date for either perfume. The leak says the two are scheduled for February/April 2027, but it doesn't say which fragrance comes in which month. As of 17 October 2026, neither fragrance is listed on hugoboss.com or Fragrantica.

Price

Prices for BOSS Bottled Radiant Orange and BOSS The Scent Cacao Fever have not been announced for any market.

The Two New BOSS Perfumes

• BOSS Bottled Radiant Orange: The image shows the classic BOSS Bottled shape with rounded shoulders and a black cap. The glass grades from deep amber-brown at the top to bright orange at the base. It has embossed BOSS lettering and "BOTTLED RADIANT ORANGE" printed vertically in white.
• BOSS The Scent Cacao Fever: The image shows the rectangular BOSS The Scent bottle in clear, silver-tinted glass. It has a vertical embossed BOSS panel and a tall gold cap engraved "THE SCENT". The words "Cacao Fever" are not visible on the bottle in the image. The flanker name comes from the source's caption.

BOSS Bottled Radiant Orange & The Scent Cacao Fever Fragrance Notes

Hugo Boss hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid for either fragrance, and the full notes are not yet announced. The leak gives these descriptors only:

• BOSS Bottled Radiant Orange: sparkling citrus
• BOSS The Scent Cacao Fever: marshmallow, chocolate

What Does BOSS Bottled Radiant Orange & The Scent Cacao Fever Smell Like?

Based only on the leaked descriptors, Radiant Orange is presented as a sparkling citrus scent. Cacao Fever is a gourmand built around marshmallow and chocolate. Hugo Boss has not released an official scent description for either one.

Marshmallow has become a recurring gourmand note, seen in launches such as the KAYALI Yummy Kiss marshmallow perfume sets. Dessert-leaning men's designer releases are also appearing, including Valentino Vendetta Donna & Uomo.

Both new perfumes keep the bottle shape of their original line, according to the leaked image. Each is described with a new scent direction.

What Makes the New BOSS Perfumes Different?

• Radiant Orange is shown in amber-to-orange gradient glass and is described as a sparkling citrus.
• Cacao Fever is described with marshmallow and chocolate, a gourmand direction for the BOSS The Scent line.
• Both were reportedly presented together by Coty as a pair of flankers for two long-running BOSS men's lines.

House of Bō Black Gala and White Gala are two new vanilla Parfum fragrances, an amber gourmand and a musky gourmand that the brand says share the same DNA. The pre-sale opens on 22 October 2026 at midnight, according to Olfastory, and prices have not yet been announced.

Updated 16 October 2026: neither Gala is listed on houseofbo.co yet.

Release Date

The pre-sale for Black Gala and White Gala opens on 22 October 2026 at midnight, according to Olfastory. ScentAdvice also reports that pre-orders open on 22 October. No source states the time zone. The brand first presented the pair in October 2026 as its fall 2026 launch.

Price

House of Bō hasn't announced Gala pricing. For reference, the brand's current Parfums cost $250 for 40 ml and $370 for 75 ml at houseofbo.co (checked 16 October 2026). These prices apply to the existing range. They are not Gala prices.

House of Bō Black Gala & White Gala Fragrance Notes

House of Bō hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid for either fragrance. The brand names only vanilla as the core of both scents:

• Black Gala: vanilla, presented as an amber gourmand
• White Gala: vanilla, presented as a musky gourmand

What Does House of Bō Gala Smell Like?

Both perfumes are built around vanilla. Black Gala takes it in an amber gourmand direction, and White Gala in a musky gourmand one. On TikTok, House of Bō describes the pair as "Two sides. One universe… Two expressions, one shared DNA, two entirely different moods." The brand adds that "there is still more to come."

For other recent vanilla scents, see the Kayali Vanilla Charm Set and D'ORSAY Vanilla Affair Extrait de Parfum. Another niche gourmand is Maison Mataha Escapade Gourmande Grand Cru.

Where to Buy

• US: House of Bō, pre-sale from 22 October 2026 (not yet listed)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: Not yet confirmed

Checked 16 October 2026: neither Gala is listed on houseofbo.co yet.

What Makes the House of Bō Gala Perfumes Different?

• Two vanilla expressions: the brand built one amber gourmand and one musky gourmand from the same vanilla DNA.
• Hand-carved stone caps: each cap is a half-disc of polychrome jasper, and the brand says no two stones are exactly alike.
• Coloured charms: the gold eye charm, with a black or white centre, is what tells the two bottles apart.

Bottle and Packaging

• Black Gala: a rectangular bottle of thick clear glass holds a pale golden juice. It has a gold base block printed "BŌ ĞÅLĀ PARFUM", a rounded golden collar and a dark jasper cap. House of Bō associates the stone with "authenticity and creativity."
• White Gala: the bottle has the same shape and gold details, with a pale pink and white jasper cap and a white-centred eye charm.

According to Olfastory, House of Bō makes gender-neutral fragrances in limited runs of hand-polished glass, each topped with a sculpted stone. Olfastory lists both Galas as unisex. Browse more gourmand and niche fragrance launches, or all fragrance releases.

Imagine Guerlain 2026 is Guerlain's limited Holiday Bee Bottle of Imagine Guerlain Eau de Parfum, dressed in a beaded cuff by Kévin Germanier. The set includes a 125 ml numbered bottle, a 30 ml travel spray and a funnel, limited to 2,551 pieces. ScentAdvice reported it on sale by 15 October 2026 at $980 (US), £800 (UK) and €890 (Europe).

The makeup side of the same partnership is covered in our post on the Guerlain Holiday 2026 Fireworks Collection by Kévin Germanier.

Updated 16 October 2026: listed on Guerlain's US, UK and Austrian sites. Guerlain's site blocked our stock check, and because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the Guerlain Imagine 2026 Bee Bottle Launch?

Guerlain hasn't announced an official release date. Augustman Singapore covered the Holiday 2026 Germanier line on 5 October 2026. ScentAdvice then reported the perfume on sale in the US, UK and most of the EU on 15 October 2026. Guerlain lists it as its Christmas/Holiday 2026 Exceptional Rendezvous.

Price

• US: $980
• UK: £800
• Europe: €890

ScentAdvice reported these prices on 15 October 2026. We could not load guerlain.com to confirm them.

What's Inside

The set has three items:

• 1 x 125 ml Imagine Guerlain Eau de Parfum in the jet-black Bee Bottle with its beaded cuff
• 1 x 30 ml prefilled, refillable travel spray
• 1 x funnel

That is 155 ml of perfume in total (125 ml + 30 ml).

Where to Buy

• US: Guerlain US ($980)
• UK: Guerlain UK (£800)
• Europe: Guerlain Austria (€890, per ScentAdvice), plus Guerlain boutiques
• Other markets: availability varies by region, and more international stockists may be added.

According to Olfastory, Guerlain is currently selling it through its website and boutiques.

Checked 16 October 2026: listed on Guerlain's US, UK and Austrian sites. Guerlain's site blocked our stock check.

What Makes the Imagine Guerlain 2026 Bee Bottle Different?

• Wearable decoration: the hand-embroidered cuff detaches from the bottle and can be worn on the wrist.
• Couture source: Olfastory reports that the cuff is inspired by a gown from Germanier's Spring-Summer 2025 haute couture collection.
• A first return invitation: Augustman reports that Germanier is the first artist Guerlain has invited back twice. He dressed 11 one-litre La Cuvée Secrète flacons with upcycled Swarovski crystals in 2021. In 2023 he decorated a Bernardaud porcelain jar of Orchidée Impériale Black.

Imagine Guerlain 2026 Fragrance Notes

Guerlain hasn't published a full top, heart and base pyramid. The brand names these notes:

• Top: floral notes, orange
• Heart: not detailed by Guerlain
• Base: woody notes

Guerlain names no perfumer for this eau de parfum version. Olfastory notes that Baccarat presents Imagine Guerlain as an extrait created by Thierry Wasser for The Black Bee. It is a different fragrance from Guerlain's 2019 perfume Imagine, which is built on rhubarb, rose and black tea. ScentAdvice believes the formula is likely unchanged since the 2022 edition.

What Does Imagine Guerlain 2026 Smell Like?

It opens on florals with orange and settles on a woody base. Augustman describes it as opening "with majestic florals and a hint of citrus orange in the top notes before settling into vibrant woods."

Both editions dress Imagine Guerlain in the Bee Bottle for Christmas, and earlier editions were decorated by Begüm Khan. The 2026 edition changes the decoration from a sculpted moon to a wearable embroidered cuff.

Bottle and Packaging

• Bee Bottle: The bottle dates from 1853, when it was made for the Eau de Cologne Impériale for Empress Eugénie. The glassmaker Pochet du Courval produces it with 69 bees in relief. This edition is lacquered in jet black.
• Cuff: Olfastory reports that the cuff is hand-embroidered with black, pink, red and blue beads. The "Dames de Table" of the Guerlain ateliers tie its cord by hand. Germanier says he adorned the bottle as he would a hand-embroidered haute couture gown.

The rest of Germanier's Holiday 2026 line includes a beaded Rouge G collector's case limited to 672 pieces and a Météorites jewel case limited to 432. It also includes the Guerlain Advent Calendar 2026. Another limited holiday piece this season is the Dior La Malle des Rêves Exceptional Advent Calendar 2026. You can browse all fragrance releases.

FORVR MOOD's Discover Your Mood Set is a perfume discovery set of five eau de parfum vials, and it now includes Not Your Type. The set from Jackie Aina's fragrance brand costs $28 at Sephora US and on forvrmood.com, where FORVR MOOD sells it as the "Fine Fragrance Discovery Set". It was listed on the brand site by 30 September 2026 and was at Sephora US by 16 October 2026.

Updated 16 October 2026: in stock at forvrmood.com and listed at Sephora US.

When Did the FORVR MOOD Discover Your Mood Set Launch?

FORVR MOOD hasn't announced an official release date for the Discover Your Mood Set. The set first appeared on forvrmood.com by 30 September 2026, according to store listing data. Sephora US lists it as "New", and an Instagram post on 16 October 2026 said it was available at Sephora.

Price

The set costs $28 at both Sephora US and forvrmood.com. Sephora lists the full-size eaux de parfum from the same scents at $28–$79 each.

What's Inside

The set contains five eau de parfum vials. The two listings give different vial sizes. Sephora lists "5 x 0.17 oz / 3 mL eau de parfums". FORVR MOOD's own site says "five 1.5mL fragrances". Because of that discrepancy, we haven't given a total volume.

The set includes these scents:

• I Am Her
• Hard to Get
• NDA
• She Was Here
• Not Your Type

FORVR MOOD Discover Your Mood Set Fragrance Notes

FORVR MOOD hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid for these scents. It lists these key notes for each one:

• I Am Her: red velvet, pear, oud (Sephora also mentions raspberry). We covered the full size in our FORVR MOOD I Am Her Eau de Parfum post.
• Hard to Get: citrus/lemon zest, jasmine, vanilla
• NDA: spiced rum, vanilla, tobacco flower
• She Was Here: pistachio, Turkish rose, vanilla milk
• Not Your Type: white suede, vanilla oud, iris

What Does FORVR MOOD Discover Your Mood Set Smell Like?

The listed notes range across several styles:

• Fruit: pear in I Am Her and lemon zest in Hard to Get
• Florals: jasmine, Turkish rose and iris
• Warmer notes: spiced rum, tobacco flower, oud and suede

Vanilla appears in four of the five scents. It shows up in Hard to Get and NDA, as vanilla milk in She Was Here, and as vanilla oud in Not Your Type.

The set description says it "spans fruity florals to warm gourmands and every mood in between." It also calls the vials "five scents to feel playful, magnetic, and endlessly your own."

Both sets share I Am Her, Hard to Get, NDA and She Was Here. The difference is that Not Your Type replaces You Remind Me. FORVR MOOD describes this as "for the first time, Not Your Type joins the Discovery Set."

Where to Buy

• US: FORVR MOOD ($28), Sephora ($28, item 3002664)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Canada: Not yet confirmed (a Sephora Canada search shows no FORVR MOOD products)
• Europe: Not yet confirmed
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 16 October 2026: in stock at forvrmood.com; listed at Sephora US.

This set is not to be confused with the older FORVR MOOD Perfume Discovery Set ($28), which Sephora still lists and which includes You Remind Me.

Sephora US also lists two other FORVR MOOD holiday sets:

• Mini Coffret Wardrobe Set: $75, limited edition. Its value if bought separately is $100.
• Out of Your League Duo: $30. Its value if bought separately is $40.

Other discovery sets this season include the Josie Maran All Spritzed Up Mini Fragrance Discovery Set and the Polite Society Petite & Popular 5 Piece Discovery Set. You can browse all fragrance releases on our fragrance page.

What Makes the Discover Your Mood Set Different?

• It is the first FORVR MOOD discovery set to include Not Your Type, according to the brand.
• It keeps the $28 price of the previous Mood Discovery Set.
• Vanilla is a listed note in four of the five vials.

Format

• Eau de parfum vials: FORVR MOOD's site lists five 1.5 mL vials, while Sephora lists 3 mL vials. The box is labelled "Fine Fragrance Discovery Set".

Sephora names the set "OUAI Detox Clarifying Shampoo + Bond Repair Balm Hair Mask Gift Set." OUAI says the kit suits all hair types, including hair with heat and color damage, breakage or split ends.

The St. Barts Solid Perfume Ornament

The St. Barts Solid Eau De Parfum ($34, 0.21 oz / 6 g) puts OUAI's St. Barts scent into a solid perfume for a limited time. It comes in a ready-to-gift hanging ornament box. Sephora US lists it as "New Limited Edition" and currently shows it as "Only at Sephora."

Sephora lists the fragrance as:

• Fragrance family: Fresh, scent type Fresh Solar
• Key notes: dragon fruit, orange blossom and musk
• Also mentioned in the description: tuberose and Baltic amber

We covered the original scent in our post on the OUAI St. Barts Hair and Body Mist.

OUAI's caption also mentions a "classic deluxe Hair & Body Mist" in St. Barts. One of OUAI's images shows a mini mist in a matching ornament box, but we couldn't find a separate listing or price for it.

What Makes the OUAI Healthy Hair For The Holidays Kit Different?

• Bond Repair Balm takes the place of conditioner. OUAI says it can "reverse damage in just 3 minutes," based on a consumer perception study of 106 participants.
• The shampoo is a clarifying formula. OUAI's images describe Detox Shampoo as color-safe and say it cleanses without stripping and removes hard-water residue.
• The kit has a set scent. OUAI's images give the fragrance as Melrose Place, with notes of rose, berry and lychee.

Formula and Packaging

• Detox Shampoo: Sephora's ingredient list includes apple cider vinegar (listed as vinegar) and hydrolyzed keratin. OUAI positions it for a deeper cleanse of dirt, oil and buildup.
• Bond Repair Balm: Sephora lists silk, sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed rice protein. It comes in a pump bottle and is used in place of conditioner.
• St. Barts Solid Eau De Parfum: the formula base includes coconut oil, shea butter and castor seed oil. Sephora lists it as vegan and cruelty-free.

OUAI says its products are paraben-, gluten-, phthalate-, SLS- and SLES-free, as well as cruelty-free.

How to Use

OUAI's directions for Detox Shampoo:

1. Massage a quarter-size amount into the scalp.
2. Leave it for 1–3 minutes, then rinse.

For Bond Repair Balm, skip conditioner and work one pump through the hair from eye level down. Leave it for 3 minutes, then rinse. OUAI recommends using it consistently for the first few washes, then as needed.

Mancera Hazel Latte and Mancera Xplicit Poppy are two new 2026 unisex perfumes: a hazelnut-and-pear gourmand and a grapefruit-and-poppy floral fruity.

Status: Announced, but price and release date not yet confirmed. The fragrance-database account ScentAdvice posted the two names with bottle renders on Instagram on 2 October 2026. We haven't found a statement from Mancera itself.

Fragrantica credits both perfumes to Pierre Montale, the perfumer behind Montale and Mancera.

Updated 16 October 2026: neither fragrance is listed for sale at Douglas Germany, Flaconi, Notino UK, MaxAroma or Parfumdreams.

When Did the Mancera Hazel Latte and Xplicit Poppy Launch?

Mancera hasn't announced an official release date for either perfume. The first sighting we found is ScentAdvice's Instagram post of 2 October 2026, headed "2 NEW MANCERA." On 16 October 2026, Fragrantica listed both scents as 2026 launches with no specific date.

Price

Mancera hasn't announced prices for Hazel Latte or Xplicit Poppy in any market.

Mancera Hazel Latte & Xplicit Poppy Fragrance Notes

In the sources we checked, Mancera hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid for either scent. The notes below come from Fragrantica's listings.

Hazel Latte

• Top: hazelnut, milk, pear
• Heart: pecan, milk (Fragrantica's description calls it milk flower)
• Base: cistus incanus (cistus absolute), benzoin, sandalwood

Xplicit Poppy

• Top: grapefruit (Fragrantica's description also mentions a Sauvignon accord)
• Heart: poppy, osmanthus, patchouli
• Base: Peru balsam, vetiver, oud

What Does Mancera Hazel Latte Smell Like?

Based on the listed notes, Hazel Latte opens on hazelnut and pear with milk. The heart moves to pecan and milk, and the base settles into sandalwood, benzoin and cistus.

Fragrantica describes it as "a fruity gourmand fragrance centered on pear and hazelnut milk." Its main accords are listed as nutty, woody, sweet, lactonic and fruity. Despite the name, the listing includes no coffee note.

Hazel Latte follows other latte- and dessert-themed launches, such as Zara True Cocoa, Baked Croissant and Cozy Pumpkin Latte and the Le Monde Gourmand Le Petit Duo Set.

What Does Mancera Xplicit Poppy Smell Like?

Xplicit Poppy starts with grapefruit and moves into a heart of poppy, osmanthus and patchouli. The base is Peru balsam, vetiver and oud. Fragrantica classifies it as floral fruity, "evoking an imaginary poppy in crisp morning air."

According to Fragrantica, it joins Mancera's Xplicit line after Xplicit Vanilla (2025).

What Makes the Mancera Hazel Latte & Xplicit Poppy Different?

• Hazel Latte's listed pyramid is built on nuts and milk (hazelnut, pecan, milk) rather than coffee.
• Xplicit Poppy is listed as the second Xplicit scent after Xplicit Vanilla (2025), with poppy as a central heart note.
• The bottles differ: Hazel Latte keeps the classic Mancera look, while Xplicit Poppy uses tinted glass and an illustrated label.

Bottles and Packaging

• Hazel Latte: the classic round Mancera bottle with a gold cap and white label. One render shows pale yellow juice and another a deeper amber. The size isn't legible on the label.
• Xplicit Poppy: plum/rose-tinted glass with a gold cap and a white label carrying a black poppy illustration. The label reads "Eau de Parfum 120 ML."
