Rabanne

Crafted to capture the warmth and excitement of a night out, this new fragrance reveals a distinctive blend of freshness and warmth through notes of marine accord, mineral oud, and vanilla bean. This desirable balance between freshness and minerality has also manifested into its highly contrasted design that features a sleek gradient of glossy black and reflective silver, inspired by the interplay of light and darkness. Embrace the coolness and warmth of the night with PHANTOM Elixir by Rabanne.
Bvlgari
Bvlgari’s most iconic tea scents are officially back and they’re bolder and more radiant than ever. Starting with the Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert, the green tea fragrance that shook up the scent world in the ’90s. Now reimagined with 94% natural-origin ingredients, the new Eau Parfumée Thé Vert is luminous and effortlessly revitalizing. Think neroli petals, fizzy bergamot, and crisp young green tea leaves, this new fragrance is perfectly crafted for a calming walk through a dewy garden at golden hour. Then there’s Eau Parfumée au Thé Blanc, Bvlgari’s soft, musky white tea classic. With this year’s upgrade, the new Eau Parfumée Thé Blanc brings 89% natural-origin ingredients and a dreamy new extraction of white tea from China, paired with white florals, mellow fruity notes, and that signature Bvlgari white musk. Today, two cult favorites return in a more concentrated form, newly bottled for modern sensibilities and made to last longer than ever before.
Dolce & Gabbana
A summer icon that has been revitalised and recharged! Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue has been a go-to for many in hot, humid climates thanks to it's zesty and crisp Sicilian lemon opening and distinct musky and woody base. It's clean, refreshing and sophisticated which is why it's a staple for 25 years. Celebrating over two decades of success, the fragrance has been invigorated this year with a brand new frosted bottle and an updated, more intensified formula that boasts longer wear for up to 16 hours. Typically, freshies tend to require some reapplication but perfumers, Olivier Cresp and Alberto Morillas have subverted expectations while still retaining Light Blue's olfactory signature.
