Carolina Herrera's Lunar Lover, introduced last year, is back for 2025 — the Year of the Snake. Same scent, same bottle, new charm. "This vibrant scent contains mesmerizing notes of red hibiscus at its heart. Top notes of red tea awaken the fire within, while cedarwood grounds the scent with its warm and woody facets." At Macy's, $185 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum. (And they still have the 2024 Dragon in stock should you need one.)
Indie brand DS & Durga has launched The Most Festive Cologne Of All Time, a new limited edition holiday fragrance…
From the new Lush collaboration with the movie Wicked, Glinda Upland body spray: "The beautifical fragrance of bright, floral rose oil intertwines with smooth, velvety notes of benzoin resin. Creamy vanilla and nutty notes of pistachio sweeten things up, to make you feel like you're floating over Oz." Additional notes include orris and sesame seed. £40 for 200 ml at Lush UK.
From Lolita Lempicka, Le Parfum in the annual holiday limited edition: "Le Parfum is one of those famous fragrances whose perfume is instantly recognizable. A gourmet and ultra-sensual accord of licorice and violet sublimated by a surprising note of anise, voluptuously highlighted by a cloud of musk. Surrounded by its garland of ivy leaves, enamelled in white and gold, the famous apple is adorned by a heart pierced with an arrow on a golden liquorice wood. To celebrate Christmas, Lolita Lempicka offers every year a new decor to its iconic bottle. These limited editions invite us to discover new chapters in the fairytale." At Lolita Lempicka, €117 for 100 ml.
From Maison Francis Kurkdjian, potpourri in the brand's Mon Beau Sapin annual holiday fragrance. "Francis Kurkdjian poetically reinvents the traditional scented pot-pourri with a wintery, warm creation. Pinecones, gum arabic, rose hips, star anise, nutmeg, eucalyptus nuts, and cinnamon sticks unfurl the woody, subtly resinous notes of Mon beau Sapin, a must-have for the holiday season that conjures up the picture of a cheerful walk with loved ones in a snowy forest." $95. Also available in candles ($95-$295) and diffuser ($195).
