ScentXplore 2026: Las personas que restauran mi fe en la humanidad
Mientras volaba de regreso a casa anoche, pensaba en todas las personas maravillosas que conocí en ScentXplore. Como escribí en el artículo de nuestro equipo previo al evento, lo que más ilusión me hacía durante mi estancia en Nueva York era establecer conexiones humanas, ¡aunque, en realidad, conocer gente es una de mis cosas favoritas en toda la vida! A continuación, les comparto algunas (¡en realidad, muchas! jajaja) interacciones que se quedaron grabadas en mi memoria.
Ganadores de los Premios ScentXplore 2026
Desde 2022, los ScentXplore Awards han celebrado a las marcas visionarias, perfumistas y voces que dan forma a la perfumería nicho. Independientes e internacionales, los ganadores son elegidos directamente por la comunidad de fragancias.
Avance de ScentXplore 2026: ¿Qué hay en el radar del equipo de Fragrantica?
ScentXplore 2026 arranca en apenas un par de días y el equipo de Fragrantica ya se está preparando: recientemente, Adam publicó su guía sobre todo lo relacionado con los perfumes en la ciudad anfitriona de la feria, Nueva York (que incluye una práctica lista de lugares imperdibles en Google Maps); y Beth se encargó del programa del evento.

FROSTED JUNIPER: Una bruma de fragancia de edición limitada para tu computadora
El 12 de octubre de 2026, MacPaw, una empresa tecnológica global de inteligencia artificial y creadora de un ecosistema digital para usuarios de Mac, añadió un producto físico para la Mac: CleanMyMac Mist, un limpiador perfumado para la pantalla y el teclado con un aroma llamado Frosted Juniper. Esta es la primera fragancia compuesta para una computadora. [El limpiador de computadoras perfumado no se añadirá a la base de datos, la cual es solo para fragancias personales.
Nuevo de Paris Hilton: ICONIC QUEEN
Paris Hilton ha lanzado la fragancia que sigue al lanzamiento pilar del año pasado, Iconic, que presentaba un aroma floral-frutal fresco y alegre para el uso diurno. El nuevo ICONIC QUEEN resalta una vibra floral-ambarada más rica y profunda, perfecta para pasar del día a las citas nocturnas. La perfumista es Carine Boin.
Cuando el perfume causa dolor
De vez en cuando, huelo un perfume que causa consecuencias inmediatas: una migraña, a veces náuseas. Dos ejemplos notables de mi pasado —y la razón por la que no me acerco a ellos hoy en día— son Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Intense y Giorgio Armani Sun di Gioia. Este último, en realidad, tenía un aroma que disfrutaba, pero cada vez que lo usaba, ¡comenzaban las luces pulsantes y sabía que venía una migraña en camino! Así que lo saqué de mi colección.
DESERT FIRE: Lo nuevo de Day Three Fragrances x Colton Dixon
Day Three Fragrances anuncia su lanzamiento más reciente: una colaboración con el artista musical Colton Dixon llamada Desert Fire.

Los perfumes que queremos usar este otoño: Parte 3
Estamos unos días más cerca del final de septiembre, lo que, para algunos en nuestro hemisferio, nos adentra verdaderamente en el reino del otoño. En los EE. UU. en particular, algunas personas comienzan a mirar sus calabazas y decoraciones de Halloween con gran expectación. Otros no tienen tanta paciencia y empiezan a decorar sus casas y patios con todos los adornos de la festividad, con gatos negros, brujas y fantasmas, el 1 de octubre.
El Vanilla Musk Layering Kit de Nemat
Nemat International lanzó recientemente dos nuevos Layering Kits (kits para superposición de fragancias), cada uno protagonizado por uno de sus aceites perfumados en formato roll-on más vendidos — Vanilla Musk o Amber — junto con tres sprays de eau de parfum de tamaño viaje, llamados "Mood Blenders", para complementar los aceites. El aceite perfumado Vanilla Musk por sí solo es una fragancia maravillosamente acogedora, y la recomiendo habitualmente en el foro.
Ormonde Jayne Champaca: Una reseña
Este verano, en mis "días libres" de probar nuevas fragancias, me he encontrado a mí misma recurriendo regularmente a las fragancias más "antiguas" y "originales" del opus de Ormonde Jayne, como Frangipani, Sakura (mi flor de cerezo favorita de todos los tiempos), Indus y Ormonde Woman (que me gusta más en primavera). Las he echado de menos. Me recuerdan cuánto me gusta realmente su facilidad de uso diario sin esfuerzo, y me hacen sentir hermosa, segura y refinada en cualquier ocasión.
Danner & Flemming: ¡El mejor iris del mercado!
Ofreceré un descargo de responsabilidad desde el principio: el siguiente artículo será la reseña más entusiasta que jamás haya hecho. Amo inequívocamente lo que Danner & Flemming está emprendiendo: el desarrollo de nuevas variedades de iris, su cultivo, la cosecha (¡en un clima de 40 °C!), la colaboración en perfumería, el etiquetado a mano de los frascos... Los cuatro propietarios están personalmente involucrados en casi cada paso del proceso de la marca de perfumes.
FRAGRANTICA BEST PERFUMES 2025: Beth Butterfield & Nayeli Cano ~ Fragrantica ~ Fragrantica
Fragrantica writers select their best fragrances of 2025! BETH BUTTERFIELD It was exceedingly difficult to whittle down my "best of" list this year, as I feel 2025 had some of the very finest fragrances released in recent memory. I easily could have added two or three more to my list. The market is seeing a glut of flankers and dupes, but it's good to know that there are still brands pursuing slow, quality launches and pairing uniqueness with affability.
ScentXplore 2025: My Favorites (So Far)
ScentXplore is like speed dating: Trying to get the idea of a fragrance in a hectic atmosphere already teeming with hundreds of other scents... The nose gets tired. This is why samples are so important to editors, and for the past week, I've been digging in to the samples I was given by various brands. These are my Full Bottle Worthy favorites from the 2025 fair... My absolute full-bottle-worthy favorite is Ylang d'Or by Maison du Roc.
ScentXplore New York 2025: First Impressions
New York was bathed in December chill but not even that could keep the crowds away. We had been waiting all year for this weekend. The line circled the block to get in, and when the doors opened, even at the end of the line, you could smell a cloud of perfume drifting down the hallways and out onto the streets. Frag heads took over Manhattan, and dusted the blocks as well, trailing sillages of Iso E Super, ambroxan, and sugary lactones. ScentXplore was here again.
House of Brandt Everveil: A Review
We announced Everveil two weeks ago, and ever since, I've been wearing it off and on and ruminating on its finer points. I find the fragrance rather philosophical — it makes me think! One thing I can say about it to kickstart this review: Everveil is a chameleon. It depends on the wearer's skin how it will reveal itself. Will it be a conifer forest or will it be the mist shrouding the forest?
Boss Bottled Beyond: Dried Ginger & Nutmeg Dust ~ Fragrance Reviews ~ Fragrantica
Hugo Boss’ new Boss Bottled Beyond is a quite an odd cologne, even with its very clear marketing as “the new ginger-leather fragrance.” Let’s stop to think about that for a second. Despite the fragrance industry leaning nature-swindling in the dreams it sells us, it’s quite rare to spot taglines so basic and to-the-point. There’s no mention of confidence, ethos, allure, or magnetism. Just, simply, that Boss has made a fragrance with ginger and leather.
PERFUME GIFT SUGGESTIONS: The 50-Something Woman
Moms, grandmas, and aunties like to smell pretty and feel remembered, too, so let's find a fantastic perfume for these special, "more mature" ladies in our lives! I have endeavored to not mention any Guerlain, Dior, or Chanel in this list, and you will also not find here that homing beacon of 50-year old women everywhere: aka La Vie Est Belle! (Not that I hate any of them, mind you, I'm just trying to think outside the box so you, dear reader, don't have to!) Today we are looking for perfumes...
House of Brandt Launches EVERVEIL
American niche brand House of Brandt announces the launch of EVERVEIL. It follows the brand's other recent releases: Summer Street and last winter's runaway hit, London Fog.

What. Fun. (Prime Video, Dec 3). The partnership bridges beauty, home, and entertainment for the season. Hearth features a five-wick soy-vegetable blend candle in a reusable ceramic vessel and will be sold in all Crate & Barrel stores and online.
Cozy Gourmands for Autumn
by Beth Butterfield 36 minutes ago Here in Missouri, we have enjoyed a very mild autumn well into October with unseasonably warm temperatures in the low-80s. I eked every last bit of summer out of 2025 because I am always loathe to see it go and for cooler temperatures to prevail. That said, autumn weather has now officially arrived. I've put my shorts away and am reaching for my sweaters and my cozy, heavier fall fragrances.

In anticipation of the newest d'Annam chapter to arrive in November, the brand has launched Mooncake, its second launch in the Majestic China collection to come.

Salted Egg Yolk? Mung Bean? Lotus Seed?
PITTI FRAGRANZE 2025: A Review of Reserve en Afrique 1934
Meet Valeria. She is the adorable half-owner of Reserve en Afrique 1934, a newer niche brand based in Senegal. I've never been to Senegal, but of course I want to go there for the amazing sights, sounds, tastes, and smells!

Henry Rose announces the launch of French Exit, a warm floral for autumn 2025. It follows summer's Windows Down PCH, a crisp, aromatic woody fragrance inspired by road trips in Northern California.

The island, known for its fragrant dunes and sandy beaches, holds many of my most cherished family moments.

L'Amour Mere: Natalie, C Love, & Lyublyu ~ New Fragrances ~ Fragrantica
L'Amour Mere is a new brand that seeks to memorialize a daughter's love for her mother — captured through scent. Natalie Wood was first a child star (Miracle on 34th Street) who grew into a full-fledged movie star in films such as Rebel Without A Cause, Gypsy, and Splendor in the Grass. Tragically, her life was cut short in 1981 at the young age of 43.

Summer with Berdoues
Whenever I come across a brand such as Berdoues, I wish I still lived in Europe. There, perfume lovers have access to wonderful drugstore brands. Here in the USA, drugstores offer either full-priced versions of what's already in Ulta or horrible reformulations of White Diamonds or Coty's Musk. At discounters, it's a merry-go-round of celebs like Paris Hilton, JLo, Sean John, and 1980's designers such as Calvin Klein. Yawn.
The Maker Launches REVEL + 15% Off Code!
REVEL is inspired by celebrations. On the heels of The Maker's wintertime release, Dream, comes REVEL, a joyous fruity-floral fragrance that the brand says "bottles the best day of your life."

BEST FRAGRANCES SPRING–SUMMER 2025: Beth Butterfield & Sophie Normand ~ Fragrantica ~ Fragrantica
More great fragrances, from niche and mass market! BY BETH BUTTERFIELD My favorites thus far into 2025 have surprised even me. I seem to be reaching beyond my typical gourmand/vanilla fragrances (though there is one of those) for unique, novel concoctions to what I usually prefer. Currently, these notes include tea (green and black), green notes, juniper, and even one of my kryptonite notes: cardamom.
House of Brandt Launches SUMMER STREET

Josie Maran Moisturizing Fragrance Mists
Josie Maran, a top model in the 1990-2000s (I recall fondly her work for Maybelline), went through a period of enlightenment regarding mainstream beauty products and their toxic ingredients when she was pregnant with her first child, although she had always gravitated to the idea of cleaner products. Was there anything for the "green girl" and those struggling with chemical sensitivities and health challenges?
