Burberry Her Parfum
<\/h2>\n

Notes:<\/strong>\u00a0Cherry, pear, amber, whipped cream\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m usually not a fan of sweeter scents\u00a0\u2014\u00a0they can feel a bit sticky throughout the day\u00a0\u2014\u00a0but, just like cherry creams, I have a feeling I won\u2019t be able to get enough of this one. I tried it at a beauty event recently, and on first spritz, the cherry\u00a0note is\u00a0tart and fizzy. Thanks to\u00a0a heavy\u00a0helping\u00a0of whipped cream and warm amber, it dries down to something comforting and intimate. I\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0stop sniffing my wrists, and\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0how I know I\u00a0must\u00a0have it.” \u2014 Jacqueline\u00a0Kilikita, beauty director<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prada Infusion de Santal Chai
<\/h2>\n

\u00a0
Notes:<\/strong>\u00a0Cardamom, citrus, masala chai, milk, sandalwood\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Woody, spicy, and a little sweet \u2014 Prada has absolutely nailed it with Infusion de Santal Chai.\u00a0Notes of\u00a0sandalwood\u00a0and citrus\u00a0really lift the grounding, bold notes of chai\u00a0tea accord, and the result is a\u00a0perfume\u00a0that I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0think\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0going to get tired of anytime soon.\u00a0It lingers all day long, and dries down to a cozy, woody scent that has a nostalgic\u00a0feel to it.\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0especially loving it during the winter months\u00a0\u2014 aka, the months where\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0most likely sipping\u00a0a dirty chai \u2014 but\u00a0I\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0wait to see how it wears in the warmer months,\u00a0perhaps paired\u00a0with a more fruit-forward fragrance.” \u2014 Karina\u00a0Hoshikawa, Senior Beauty Writer\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Rabanne Fame in Love Parfum Elixir
<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0
Notes:\u00a0<\/strong>Strawberry, green mandarin, basil, jasmine, vanilla, mineral notes\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Whenever I wear Rabanne,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0flooded with compliments. Seriously \u2014 One Million Gold Parfum is a total magnet for them.\u00a0There\u2019s\u00a0something reassuring about having your taste\u00a0validated, which is why I\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0wait to try Fame\u00a0In\u00a0Love. The hero note is strawberry: sweet but fresh, like sun-warmed berries picked straight from the vine, balanced with creamy, grown-up woods. And the bottle is just as fun as the scent.” \u2014 Jacqueline\u00a0Kilikita, beauty director<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mugler Alien Pulp
<\/h2>\n

Notes:\u00a0<\/strong>Pink raspberry accord, citrus, jasmine,\u00a0cashmeran\u00a0wood\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Raspberry has the fragrance world in a chokehold right now \u2014 and\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0fully on board.\u00a0Unlike other fruity notes that veer saccharine, raspberry brings a fresher, more tart edge, making sweeter fragrances feel genuinely wearable day to day.\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0exactly what it does in Mugler\u2019s Alien Pulp, where\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0further softened by creamy jasmine and\u00a0clean-skin\u00a0musks. The result smells so different from the original Alien \u2014 and I think\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0the point!” \u2014 Jacqueline Kilikita, beauty director\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

D.S. & Durga Cowgirl Grass
<\/h2>\n

Notes:<\/strong>\u00a0Bergamot,\u00a0lychee, jasmine water, vetiver, musk\u00a0
\u00a0<\/strong>
“I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0typically gravitate towards floral\u00a0scents,<\/s>\u00a0but\u00a0leave it to D.S. & Durga to dream up the cool-girl version of a garden-inspired scent. Cowgirl Grass (an olfactive\u00a0companion to\u00a0Cowboy Grass,\u00a0one of the brand\u2019s most popular fragrances)\u00a0is a modern interpretation of the American West, told through perfume.\u00a0I love the juxtaposition of sweet lychee and pink geranium\u00a0with\u00a0herbal vetiver and sensual musk. The result is feminine and sexy \u2014 not to mention, perfect for this recent Texas transplant\u00a0entering her\u00a0yee-haw era.” \u2014 Karina\u00a0Hoshikawa, Senior Beauty Writer\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

YSL Libre Berry Crush
<\/h2>\n

Notes:\u00a0<\/strong>Raspberry, coconut, bourbon vanilla.<\/p>\n

“Berry scents are having a moment in\u00a02026, and\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0one I fully plan to ride all year long \u2014 starting with YSL\u2019s new Libre Berry Crush. A fruit-forward take on the original Libre, the latest addition\u00a0to the lineup,\u00a0layers\u00a0tangy raspberry and blackberry over the OG\u2019s iconic base of orange blossom, lavender, and amber.\u00a0Undertones of bourbon vanilla and coconut\u00a0create\u00a0a scent\u00a0that\u2019s cozy and warm enough to carry me through this year\u2019s (historically cold,\u00a0absolutely\u00a0frigid<\/em>)\u00a0New\u00a0York\u00a0winter, but with a juicy brightness that reminds me of a perfectly mixed brunch cocktail \u2014 making it just as wearable once the temperatures (finally)\u00a0rise. Versatile, sweet yet sultry, and housed in a gemstone-inspired bottle that resembles an encrusted jewel on my bureau: consider me officially crushing.” \u2014 Lia\u00a0Tabackman<\/em>, Social Editor<\/em><\/p>\n

Phlur\u00a0Afterglow
<\/h2>\n

Notes:<\/strong>\u00a0Apricot, coconut, vanilla orchid, milk, lavender, sandalwood\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Ever since Refinery29\u2019s beauty director Jacqueline\u00a0Kilikita\u00a0introduced me to\u00a0Phlur\u2019s\u00a0Missing Person perfume back in\u00a02022,\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0been a convert. The once-viral perfume is still my go-to in\u00a02026. But recently,\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0switched things up by trying out\u00a0Phlur\u2019s\u00a0Father Figure deodorant stick. And guess what? I like it, too! So naturally,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0drawn to getting my hands on\u00a0Phlur\u2019s\u00a0Afterglow.\u00a0With notes of apricot, coconut, vanilla orchid, and lavender, I know it won\u2019t be a heavy, lingering scent, just like Missing Person.\u00a0Instead,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0willing to bet I find it comforting just like the brand\u2019s other offerings.” \u2014 Susan Devaney, Lifestyle Director\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Le Monde Gourmand\u00a0Th\u00e9\u00a0de\u00a0Goyave\u00a0Eau De Parfum
<\/h2>\n

Notes:\u00a0<\/strong>Guava, Plum, Bergamot, Lemon, Lily-of-the-Valley, Amber, Sandalwood\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I love a soft, flirty scent made for warm days. And\u00a0that’s\u00a0exactly what Le Monde Gourmand captures in\u00a0Th\u00e9\u00a0de\u00a0Goyave\u00a0Eau De Parfum, its latest collaboration with Mexican beauty creator Paloma Sanchez. Combining fruits and florals,\u00a0it’s\u00a0a bright, sweet, and fun perfume made for the spring and summer days ahead of us.” \u2014\u00a0Raquel Reichard, Somos Deputy Director\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Givenchy Irresistible Eau de Parfum Nectar\u00a0
<\/h2>\n

Notes:<\/strong>\u00a0Rose, blond wood, pistachio cream, pear\u00a0<\/p>\n

“First off, I love how cute and compact the 35ml bottle is \u2014 it slips neatly into my handbag for top-ups. But it\u2019s the juice inside that really justifies the purchase. Fruity fragrances often skew juvenile, but this is a truly grown-up gourmand. Ripe, juicy pear is warmed by soft ambrette and rose, while cedar and blond woods are what really set it apart. They introduce a greener, slightly mineral depth, stopping the sweetness from becoming cloying and giving the scent real edge.” \u2014 Jacqueline Kilikita, beauty director\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Marc Jacobs Daisy\u00a0Murakami\u00a0Yellow
<\/h2>\n

Notes:\u00a0<\/strong>Raspberry, strawberry, cedarwood\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I have a massive soft spot for the original Marc Jacobs Daisy (the first \u201cgrown up\u201d fragrance I wore as a teen), and even decades later,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0still a favorite of mine. So,<\/s>\u00a0you can only imagine my excitement when I spotted\u00a0these Murakami-fied\u00a0bottles in December at\u00a0Sydney\u00a0airport. My heart skipped a beat; not only were the floral caps reimagined as Japanese artist Takashi Murakami\u2019s signature pop flowers, but the scents themselves have been slightly altered to offer a new dimension within the Daisy cinematic universe. My favorite,\u00a0unsurprisingly, is the one most closely\u00a0inspired\u00a0by\u00a0the OG; the juicy notes of strawberry and raspberry perfectly melt with warm,\u00a0sensual\u00a0cedarwood, praline,\u00a0and\u00a0ambrox. This one is very limited-edition, so I\u00a0almost\u00a0<\/em>don\u2019t\u00a0want to use it too often \u2014 but\u00a0then I spray, fall in love, and repeat.” \u2014 Karina\u00a0Hoshikawa, Senior Beauty Writer\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
