From the pages of issue 38:

Cherry Pop

Decadent yet modern, Mancera’s Cherry Cherry is a bold reimagining of the classic cherry note — opulent, mysterious, and irresistibly unisex. A vibrant opening of black cherry and bergamot gives way to the soft allure of iris and jasmine, before melting into a sensual base of white musk and vanilla. A luxurious, lingering signature that captivates with every wear. libertineparfumerie.com.au, @libertineparfumerie

Tender Haze

Elaïo’s latest creation, Peau à Peau, is a delicate reverie, where the luminous scent of orange blossom absolute drifts through a field of white petals, evoking childhood’s sweetest memories. Powdery and nostalgic, it blends the soft warmth of tonka bean with the airy charm of neroli and violet leaves. Infused in a 100% natural oil base, this intimate fragrance melts into the skin, leaving behind an irresistible, long-lasting trail of pure elegance. worldbrand.co.nz, @worldbrandinnz

Light Me Up

For saints and sinners alike, Holy Smoke is a fragrant act of devotion — bold, intoxicating, and impossible to resist. A fiery burst of cinnamon bark, clove, and tonka bean ignites the senses, leading into a smouldering heart of patchouli and cherry wood. Anchored by sacred frankincense, oakmoss and amber, this scent is wild yet reverent — masculine enough for the gents, with enough spice for a strong woman, too. sistersandco.com, @sisterssnaps

Defiant Bloom

A fragrance that defies expectation, Aurner Eau de Parfum by Aesop is a study in contrasts, where tenderness meets strength, and florals take on an unexpected edge. Eschewing the predictable, this enigmatic scent unfolds with fresh spice, herbaceous florals, and textured woods, creating a composition that is both bold and poetic. Magnolia leaf and Roman chamomile lend an ethereal freshness, grounded by the rich depth of cedar heart, resulting in a scent that is as captivating as it is unconventional. aesop.com, @aesop

Olfactory Opulence

A bold expression of power and elegance, Absolu is the latest olfactory masterpiece from Trudon. Opening with a luminous burst of cardamom, mandarin and saffron, it unveils a sensual heart of incense, iris, and radiant orange blossom absolute — an homage to Louis XIV’s floral fascination. Grounded in the richness of guaiac wood, cedar, and tonka bean, this intoxicating scent lingers with warmth, mystery, and an irresistible touch of haute perfumery. worldbrand.co.nz, @worldbrandinnz

Mythic Escape

Memo Paris by Ithaque is inspired by the legendary home of Ulysses and steeped in adventure and allure. Zesty bergamot and blackcurrant awaken the senses, while cedarwood grounds the fragrance with earthy warmth, evoking Ithaca’s lush, sun-drenched landscapes. A tribute to ancient Greece, Ithaque is a modern odyssey — vivid, timeless, and endlessly captivating. libertineparfumerie.com.au, @libertineparfumerie

Pink Spice

Carmina by Creed is a bold interplay of sensuous Rose de Mai and luxurious cashmere wood, setting the stage for an intoxicating debut of plump black cherries and piquant pink pepper, warmed by the golden glow of rare saffron. A smouldering base of myrrh,
frankincense, ambroxan, and musk lingers with magnetic intensity — a fragrance of pure feminine allure, rich in charisma and mystery. worldbrand.co.nz, @worldbrandinnz

Modern Floral

A vibrant fusion of freshness and depth, Million Gold For Her Pure Jasmine opens with zesty mandarin, unfolding into a heart of
jasmine sambac and gold-drenched “Coeur de Saison” jasmine, layered with hints of apricot and orange flower. Creamy lavender, intriguing ylang-ylang, and vanilla bourbon bring warmth and modern sensuality to this luminous scent. rabanne.com, @rabanne
