The 6 Best Luxury Perfumes to Add to Your Wish List
From the warmth of spicy vanilla to the freshness of fruity florals, there is a fragrance note for every personality and preference on your holiday gift-giving list.
Bond No. 9 Gold Street: This new, not-so-quietly luxurious scent and stunning gold bottle make it a perfect holiday gift. Vintage French leather is the standout top note, rounded out by candied blueberry and pink pepper. Middle notes are suede, iris, salted caramel fudge, and narcotic ambrette absolute. Bottom notes are a robust blend of oakmoss absolute, musk, and Madagascar vanilla. $460.
Parfums de Marly Palatine: A playful, yet sophisticated eau de parfum that’s housed in a chic violet bottle that’s as beautiful as the fragrance itself. Palatine is a balance of fruit and florals, with a touch of powdery softness. It opens with mandarin and pear, and then the violet petals hit, drying down into a smooth, creamy sandalwood. $375.
Initio Oud for Greatness NEO: An extension of their acclaimed unisex eau de parfum, this reimagined release brings a fresh twist to the beloved oud. It opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot and pink pepper, revealing heart notes of oud, rose, and lavender. Base notes of amber, musk, and vanilla make it a versatile choice for any occasion. $430.
Balmain Beauty Rouge: Part of the Les Éternels de Balmain collection, Rouge is a unisex eau de parfum. Housed in a passion-red bottle, the fragrance features a floral fruity bouquet with radiant woods. Sensual lily, exotic moraea ciliata, and fruity apricot-like osmanthus combine, culminating in warm and radiant georgywood with ylang-ylang. $300.
Louis Vuitton Nouveau Monde: Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud created a completely unexpected accord with a mix of a raw cocoa bean and rare oud assam. To add to the unique combination, saffron, patchouli, and blackcurrant create a whirlwind of essences that play a spicy harmony on the skin. $330.
Loewe 7 Elixir: Loewe has reinterpreted this iconic fragrance to contain high concentrations of essential oils. The scent reveals intense notes of patchouli, red pepper berries and amber, underlined by the rich LOEWE Accord—a new note based on the complex, resinous scent of the Spanish Rockrose wildflower. $280.
