A man should never tie himself to just one fragrance. You evolve, your moods, your seasons, your desires. So why shouldn’t your scent keep up? Some days call for something dark and brooding, others for something crisp and effortless. Maybe you want to turn heads, or maybe you prefer to leave an intoxicating trail that lingers just long enough. Whatever version of you is stepping out today, we’ve got the perfect fragrance to match, because smelling good should never be a one-size-fits-all affair.
ORPHÉON PREMIUM, DIPTYQUE, SHOP NOW
Some perfumes transport you. Orphéon by Diptyque downright time-travels. Inspired by the golden age of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, it bottles the warmth of a jazz club where intellectuals and bohemians once gathered over cigarettes and conversation. Cedarwood echoes the rich patina of bar counters, while tonka bean swirls through the air like the last traces of light tobacco—an invitation to linger a little longer in this smoky, seductive reverie.
This year, Diptyque elevates the experience with a limited-edition collector’s set, encasing the 75ml bottle in a fine oak box reminiscent of a vintage cocktail cabinet. Designed for reuse, it’s as much a tribute to craftsmanship as it is to indulgence. And for those looking to extend the magic beyond their pulse points, a duo of scented candles, Narguilé and Genévrier, rekindles the club’s warm, intimate atmosphere at home. A flicker of candlelight, a spritz of perfume, and suddenly, you’re back in the heart of Parisian nostalgia. No passport required.
NEW FRAGRANCES, DRIES VAN NOTEN, SHOP NOW
Okay, this is not just one perfume, but they’re all worth a shout-out. Dries Van Noten expands his fragrance universe with four new Eaux de Parfum, each built on the house’s signature love of impossible combinations. From herbaceous bursts to velvety gourmand layers, every scent is a study in contrast. Vanille Camouflage reinvents vanilla with a green edge, fusing galbanum with Madagascan and Tahitian vanilla for a fresh-meets-creamy effect. Crazy Basil turns an herb garden into high art, where basil’s crispness meets cedarwood’s richness, amplified by warm amber. Beyond the olfactory adventure, these scents champion sustainability, housed in refillable bottles that reflect Dries Van Noten’s commitment to beauty with a conscience. Four bold personalities, one unifying spirit—because when it comes to fragrance, Dries never plays it safe.
OLFACTORY SERIES 1, JIL SANDER, SHOP NOW
Under the direction of Lucie and Luke Meier, Jil Sander Olfactory Series 1 reimagines fragrance through a minimalist yet deeply expressive approach. Developed in collaboration with five leading perfumers, the collection distils scent to its purest form, using just three natural ingredients, water, and alcohol upcycled from carbon emissions. At its core is the radical presence of aldehydes, which bring a luminous clarity, amplifying the essence of each composition. The result is a series of six fragrances that capture fleeting moments in nature; Leaf, Miel, Black Tea, Earth, Coffea, and Smoke.
FÉTICHE LE CUIR, CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN, SHOP NOW
Fétiche Le Cuir is leather, but not as you know it. Forget the stiff, smoky cliché—this is leather with a wink, softened by the golden glow of osmanthus and a whisper of sensuality. Juliette Karagueuzoglou has bottled something effortlessly seductive: rich but never heavy, smooth with just the right bite. It clings to the skin like a secret and lingers long after you’ve left the room—because some things are meant to be remembered.
