Whether it’s refreshing your wardrobe, setting new goals or trying a new skill, a brand new year means kicking off the year with a fresh start. If you are looking to upgrade your fragrance rotation, we have got you covered with an array of new fragrance launches by designer brands. From new instalment of Courreges Hyper series to Dries Van Noten’s unique take on vanilla scent, these perfume are anything but basic.

Courrèges Hyper Iris

Building on the success of the Colorama range, Courrèges has introduced Hyper, a trio of extraordinary scents, “Oud”, “Musc” and “Cuir”. And now, the French fashion house expands the striking olfactory family with an all-new fragrance, “Iris,” a contemporary interpretation of floral and woody perfume.

Bottega Veneta fragrance

If you are looking to collect Matthieu Blazy’s creations as a momento, the first fragrance collection by the former creative director, and also the last, is an ideal choice. Inspired by Venice, where many of its leather goods are made, the inaugural olfactory collection by Blazy is a true masterpiece, both in scent and packaging. Encapsulated in a unique, hand-blown flacon — each one unique in its own way, the collection comes in five different variants, from the floral Colpo di Sole to the woody Alchemie.

Dries Van Noten Vanilla Camouflage Eau de Parfum

Vanilla scent is undoutedly one of the most coveted notes of 2024. The gourmand note has taken over the internet, with #vanillaperfume amassing over 500 million views on TikTok alone. If you haven’t had the chance to try it out, why not give it a shot this New Year? The Dries Van Noten Vanilla Camouflage Eau de Parfum is an ideal choice for those who are new to vanilla scent. Warm and cozy with a dash of greenery, the EDP opens up with Galbanum note before unveiling the richness of its bourbon vanilla and Tahitensis. When it comes to Dries Van Noten, expect nothing less from the master of colour. Both an olfactory masterpiece and a visual feast, the rounded and fluffy fragrance is delicately bottled in a glass-and-porcelain fused flacon decorated with watercolour paintings.

Byredo Desert Dawn

Craving a warm hug on a rainy day? Byredo Desert Dawn is the perfect companion to curl up with this holiday season. A beautiful blend of comforting warmth and subtle freshness, the woody spicy perfume feels like a ray of balmy sunshine keeping us warm on a chilly day. Opening with sweetness of rose petals and cardamom, the desert-inspired scent dries down with an enticing fusion of cedarwood, carrot seeds and sandalwood.
