9 New Fragrances Worth Discovering This Season

Whether revisiting a familiar signature or discovering something new, these nine fragrances deserve a place on your vanity.

This season’s releases cover several moods and intentions. Burberry and Chloé deepen established signatures, Le Labo explores the ambiguity of violet, and Louis Vuitton gives vanilla a brighter register. Carolina Herrera, L:a Bruket, Jo Malone London, Diptyque, and Tom Ford complete the selection with compositions designed to stand on their own.

La Bomba Eau de Parfum by Carolina Herrera

It took three noses to pull off La Bomba. Christophe Raynaud, Quentin Bisch, and Louise Turner crafted the fragrance around juicy pitaya, cherry peony, frangipani, and a warm vanilla base. The house has also retired the high-heeled shoe, at least for now, replacing it with a pink butterfly that is every bit as bold, free-spirited, and impossible to ignore as the fragrance itself.

Php 10,800 for 80 ml.

Burberry Her Parfum by Burberry

Burberry Her opens with cherry and pear before moving into an amber heart softened by whipped cream, freesia, and patchouli, then settling into vanilla absolute, musk, and moss. It retains the familiar Burberry Her signature while adding concentration and depth.

Php 8,900 for 50 ml and Php 12,700 for 100 ml.

Chloé Le Parfum by Chloé

Rose has always been central to Chloé’s fragrance identity, and Le Parfum gives it a fuller, more luminous expression. Orange blossom provides a brighter opening, while vanilla and tonka bean bring warmth and staying power. The result remains unmistakably Chloé in the house’s most powerful composition yet.

Php 5,298 for 30 ml, Php 8,098 for 50 ml, and Php 12,298 for 100 ml.

Violette 30 Eau de Parfum by Le Labo

Violets have long resisted a single meaning, and Le Labo’s Violette 30 embraces that ambiguity. White violet, white tea, and green florals meet the depth of cedarwood and guaiacwood in a composition that reveals several sides of its central note.

Php 5,210 for 15 ml, Php 12,050 for 50 ml, and Php 17,250 for 100 ml.

335 Dísir Eau de Parfum by L:a Bruket

335 Dísir Eau de Parfum is the softest expression in L:a Bruket’s new fragrance collection. Inspired by the stillness of a Swedish meadow at sunrise, it layers iris, rice steam, powdery musk, and cucumber. The result is a watery floral that feels fresh and comforting.

Php 8,600 for 50 ml and Php 12,300 for 100 ml.

Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense by Jo Malone London

Yann Vasnier’s Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense captures the atmosphere of Granada. Jo Malone London’s global head of fragrance, Céline Roux, says she has “always been in awe of the Alhambra.” The fragrance is built around labdanum, lifted by bitter orange, vanilla, roasted oak, and amber.

Php 9,800 for 50 ml and Php 13,900 for 100 ml.

Fantasmagory Extrait de Parfum by Louis Vuitton

Tahitensis vanilla takes center stage in Jacques Cavallier Belletrud’s Fantasmagory Extrait de Parfum. Anise, almond, and ginger give the ingredient a sunnier character, leaving a bright, citrus-tinged impression on the skin.

Php 35,700 for 100 ml.

Orphéon Eau de Toilette by Diptyque

Orphéon Eau de Toilette skips the cigarette smoke of the original composition and heads straight for the first round. Perfumer Nathalie Cetto opens with green tangerine and yuzu before settling into cedar and musk, offering a fresher interpretation of a Diptyque favorite.

Php 13,500 for 75 ml.

Figue Eau de Parfum by Tom Ford

Figue, created by Shyamala Maisondieu for Tom Ford’s Private Blend Collection, captures the moment before a Kadota fig reaches full ripeness. Bergamot, mandarin, and pink pepper open the fragrance, followed by ylang-ylang and a base of vetiver, patchouli, benzoin, and muscovado.

Php 24,800 for 50 ml.
