In this video I’m giving you my hot takes on some of the newest, hyped, and trending perfume releases—and yes, it’s a mix of hits and misses. I’ve been getting my nose on some truly beautiful, luxurious scents that feel perfect for this year, and my wish list is getting a little thick. I partnered with Scent Split because sampling is the smartest way to explore right now, especially with these price points getting wild. I’m walking you through what’s full-bottle worthy, what’s “get a travel,” and what’s honestly not doing enough for the hype. I start with Pernoire Anelo, which shot straight to the tippity top of my list—fruity, beast mode, and absolutely coming home with me for spring/summer. Then we get into Clive Christian Strange Heavens Out of the Blue, a grown, opulent gourmand-floral that smells like old money and has me plotting on a bottle. I also compare Roja Lost in Paris to the Paris Corner “inspired by” version, and while the dupe is a notable effort, the original wears richer, smoother, and truly refined. On the flip side, Le Labo Gaiac 10 Tokyo didn’t impress me (clean and woody, but very light and stripped down), and I share my thoughts on Liquides Imaginaires Âme de Fleur and Kinetic Perfumes Mosaic—both interesting, but with caveats depending on your taste and the weather.
