In this video I’m back with part 2 of my 2026 new fragrance releases series, because honestly… the launches just keep coming. I go through a big list of what’s been revealed so far, talk you through the notes, and give you my real thoughts on what sounds tempting, what I’m excited to test, and what is an easy pass for me. And yes—there are a few that look amazing on paper, but I’m still not blind buying because skin chemistry is a thing. I start with Guerlain Tabac Sahara (raspberry, tobacco, amber—very intriguing), then I chat about Parfums de Marly Athénaïs where I’m kind of stuck in that “I like it but I don’t love it” zone, especially for the price. Le Labo Violette 30 sounds dreamy for autumn, and I’m crossing my fingers for a mini in an advent calendar. From there I get into the Jean Paul Gaultier launches—Scandal Elixir has me excited, but La Belle Rosea is a total pass because aquatic notes just don’t work for me. I also cover Lancôme La Nuit Trésor Rouge Drama (I’m wary of strawberry), the new Dior Addict Glow flankers (Purple Glow is the one I’m most tempted by), some fruity Zara releases, the Chloé Nomade Jardin d’Égypte blind-buy temptation, and a very curious Hugo Boss The Scent Intense For Her that sounds like it might be espresso on skin.
