The Best New Fragrances to Shop, Depending on Your Signature Scent

Bvlgari expands its iconic line of tea-inspired fragrances with Thé Impérial, a scent that unites East and West into a serene concoction. Rich and natural black tea is blended with an Italian citrus composed of sparkling lemon, mandarin, and bergamot.

The scent was originally created for the guests of Bvlgari Hotels and Resorts. Created with 92% natural-origin ingredients, it embodies the prestigious Italian luxury house’s modern vision of refined perfumery.

La Bomba by Carolina Herrera is not exactly a new drop, but it is new to the Philippines. The floral fragrance recently landed in the country, filling the air with a scent that would encourage one to spread their wings and live loud and free.

The perfume opens with a vibrant pitaya or dragon fruit, bursting into a bouquet of red frangipani and cherry peony blossoms. Solar vanilla provides a bright, joyful finish.

Looking up at a star-strewn sky envelops one with a sense of awe—this is what inspired Above Us, Steorra by Aesop. It opens with the incandescent spice and freshness of cardamom and bergamot. The bottle also houses a constellation of frankincense, labdanum, and vanilla bean.

Described as “a complex bouquet of spice” that is both hot and cold at the same time, the new fragrance creates a distinctly modern amber signature.

Orphéon has become one of Diptyque’s most recognizable scents, and in 2026, they released a Eau de Toilette (EDT) version of the beloved fragrance. In comparison with the Eau de Parfum, the EDT is still grounded by wood, but in a brighter, more airy, and citrus-forward manner.

With notes of green mandarin, juniper berries, and cedar, it releases a radiant scent with touches of zesty spices and vibrant blooms. The scent is known to be inspired by a jazz club frequented by the founders of the niche perfume house, serving as a time capsule to the 1960s Parisian streets.

Maison Margiela presents Scentsorium Chapter 1: Blaze of Stillness, a perfume that captures the hopeful awakening of oneself. The amber-floral fragrance carries a soft elegance, which begins with a luminous bergamot duo and neroli essence. Fig accord and orange blossom sit at its heart, adding a touch of creamy sweetness into the concoction, while Indonesian patchouli heart, Madagascar vanilla absolute, and suede accord draw a lasting trail.

Intimate, fluid, and wearable, Blaze of Stillness represents a quiet spark and a fragile excitement for new beginnings.

Jo Malone’s English Pear & Sweet Pea is a peaceful summer day in a bottle. Each spritz transports you to warm orchards, where green pears fill the branches. This juicy facet begins mellow, fresh, and ripe—eventually enveloped and complemented by the floral note of sweet pea.

Its base reveals a white musk, enhancing the scent trail with a clean and powdery note, allowing the softness to endure. The cologne carries a playful scent that will surely brighten up your day and bring a smile to your face.

Back in 2019, Tom Ford launched the Soleil Neige as part of its Private Blend line. It was recently reintroduced as it joined the Signature line, becoming more accessible to fragrance enthusiasts.

Opening with a cool burst of green and citrus, then transforming into winter-white florals, the perfume captures the brightness of winter sunlight. Musk, benzoin, and labdanum enter to add depth and to balance it with warmth, making the scent reminiscent of crisp mountain air.

For the uninitiated, a chypre is a scent that thrives on tension. It’s a combination of contrasting elements—light and dark, bright and earthy. Her Majesty by Kilian Paris illustrates this.

The fragrance is a symphony of citrus, florals, and woods, with the Rose Damascena absolute sitting at the heart. It is softened by velvety peach and electrified by luscious rum. Papyrus and cedar then enter as it dries down, etching a refined woody trail.

From an English garden party wandering into the wild emerged Creed’s Wild Vetiver. The spiced vibrancy of hand-harvested timur berry greets its wearer, then unfolds into rose centifolia. Vetiver sets the scene for a woody path, grounding the modern composition.

With noble roots and a free spirit, the scent blurs the line between sophistication and wilderness. It represents an enchanting journey through an aristocratic garden, where the joy of missing out fills the air.

If a skin scent is what you’re looking for, look no further than the Le Labo Violette 30. An airy scent lands on the skin at first spritz, with white tea and violet forming a light atmosphere with a subtle powdery-green edge. Incense, saffron, and cumin later show up to add a warm touch of spice and smoke.

It reveals cedar, guaiac wood, amber, and patchouli as it dries down—all working in harmony to finish as a structured scent that is anchored to stay close to the skin. A scent of duality, Violette 30 is certainly not one-dimensional.
