6. AESOP Eidesis Eau de Parfum
AESOP introduces the final chapter of its “Othertopias” series with the launch of “Eidesis Eau de Parfum.” This fragrance symbolizes a return to the beginning and the embrace of new beginnings, evoking rituals of eternity and decay. The scent opens with a sparkling citrus note of bitter orange, releasing the invigorating and spicy green essence of olibanum, paired with a fresh, almost camphor-like lavender aroma. As the top notes fade, the fragrance unfolds into a warm, expansive heart: familiar herbal chamomile perfectly intertwined with the scent of dry hay and the rich, resinous fragrance of frankincense. The base notes reveal an amber warmth with myrrh and lingering mineral undertones, all enveloped by the deep earthy power of patchouli and the rich, rounded tonka bean accord.
7. Byredo De Los Santos Eau de Parfum
Byredo expands its Night Veils collection with the new creation “De Los Santos Eau de Parfum.” This unique gourmand spicy scent opens with a burst of saffron, balanced by the fresh and tangy notes of blackcurrant and bergamot. The heart blends plum syrup and roasted nuts to mellow the spice of saffron, bringing out subtle leather and enticing nutty aromas. The base notes of agarwood and papyrus further enhance the scent, making it even more captivating. This sweet yet not overwhelming fragrance is perfect for evening dates, leaving a seductive trail on the skin.
8. TOM FORD Private Blend Soleil de Feu
Capturing the rich floral scent of tuberose, the warmth of amber, and the depth of sandalwood, TOM FORD’s “Soleil de Feu” intertwines these elements to create a sultry, radiant allure. Paired with the freshness of white florals and the soothing qualities of benzoin, this fragrance evokes a sense of comfort and relaxation. Spraying it on feels like cruising the Aegean Sea, watching the sun set over the golden waves, and soaking in the warm, vibrant atmosphere of a summer vacation. As the sea breeze gently caresses your face, you are enveloped in the dreamy glow of a summer escape.
9. Diptyque Limited Edition Ilio Eau de Toilette
