In the world of skincare ingredients, retinol is like a miracle worker. With its ability to refine skin texture, treat acne, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it’s no wonder there’s been a boom in retinol-powered products in recent years.
First Aid Beauty’s new 0.3% Retinol Complex Serum with Peptides bottles up everything we love about this game-changing ingredient without leaving behind the flakiness and redness that traditional retinol can cause. While a sensitive skin-safe concoction of retinol and retinyl propionate gets to work and keeps the skin hydrated for up to 24 hours, the peptides within this formula support a strong skin barrier.
Anyone else in the pursuit of longer lashes? We know we are. Fortunately, Benefit Cosmetics’ newly launched lash-enhancing serum is here to help. Formulated with a gentle blend of hibiscus flower and safflower extracts, rice protein and vitamins, Whoop Lash conditions and visibly lengthens lashes while giving them a thicker and fuller appearance over time.
In a six-week study, 95 per cent of participants reported fuller-looking lashes, while 93 per cent said lashes appeared thicker. And, after twelve weeks total, 94 per cent of participants reported longer-looking lashes. Pretty convincing, no?
Whether you’re a fragrance fanatic or a die-hard Kardashian follower, you probably remember when Kourtney, Kim and Khloé came together back in 2019 to launch the Diamond Collection under Kim’s KKW Fragrance brand — but in 2024, Khloé is due to go solo and launch her very own fragrance range.
Working in collaboration with Luxe Brands, which has also created scents for Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, Khloé will join celebrities like Beyoncé and Harry Styles in the celebrity-founded fragrance trend. “I love for a scent to be classic and for you to be captivated by it. I like florals, but with a musk so it’s not super feminine, and clean [scents], too,” she teased to WWD. After the success Khloé has found with her clothing brand Good American, we can’t wait to see how she does beauty.

When it comes to all that California has to offer, if you’re looking for a smoothie, you go to Erewhon. If you’re after foundational wardrobe pieces with a cool Scandinavian influence, you hit up Anine Bing.
The Denmark-born, Los Angeles-based former model and mother of two launched her eponymous brand alongside her husband Nicolai in 2012, and it swiftly became a go-to for fashion girlies craving chic European simplicity with a decidedly American ease — and edge. In fact, during our 20-minute Zoom chat, Bing mentioned “rock ’n’ roll” no less than seven times, revealing that prior to starting Anine Bing, she was actually in a band (!).
And while some of her label’s cult-status pieces, like band-inspired tees and distressed sweatshirts, could have gone the way of other fleeting trends in less seasoned hands, they’ve successfully become a core part of Bing’s polished edgy aesthetic which marries luxe materials and modern silhouettes with classic rockstar codes. Think: leather trousers with an oversized cashmere blazer or skinny denim with a silk blouse. (Yes, skinny jeans — but more on why they’re a wardrobe classic in a minute.)
Last month, Anine Bing opened her first brick-and-mortar store in Canada, a minimal-meets-cozy space in Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre, marking the brand’s 23rd store worldwide. FASHION chatted with the woman behind the brand about how to build a capsule wardrobe, why skinny jeans aren’t “out,” and what it’s like working with Kate Moss.

Congrats on opening your first Anine Bing store in Canada. What excites you most about this expansion?
Gosh, every time we open a new store, it’s exciting to me! Soon we’ll be at 25 stores around the world, and it’s so exciting every time. Canada has been a great market since I launched the brand 11 years ago. We have a lot of cool girls from Canada wearing the brand.
How would you define your personal style?
My own style is Scandinavian meets L.A. — I have taken what I love about Scandinavia, which is simplicity and the mindset that when you buy something, you invest in a good piece and then wear it year after year. And what I’ve taken then from living in L.A. for the past 20 years is a more rock ’n’ roll take on things, like the T shirts, the denim, the leather pieces. I think my own personal style is a good mix of Scandinavian simplicity with that American energy.

How do you feel when you see your Anine Bing designs on people?
I love it! It makes me so happy every time, no matter if it’s a big celebrity or a mom at school when I pick up my kids or a cool girl on the street. It makes me super proud and it fills me up with joy when somebody comes up and says thank you for creating these pieces.
Let’s talk about uniform dressing.
I love a uniform… Definitely a good blazer. I wear a blazer almost every day. And then I would have a cashmere turtleneck and a white T-shirt. Then maybe I’ll go more rock ’n’ roll, for the days I want to be a little more edgy, with a good pair of skinny jeans or straight denim. A leather jacket is also a good piece to have. If you have 10 good pieces, it goes a long way.
You said skinny jeans would be part of your uniform. Are skinny jeans not “over”?
I’m wearing skinny jeans today (smiles). I like both [skinny jeans and looser denim], but skinny jeans feel a little bit more rock ’n’ roll. And I like that. When I launched my brand 11 years ago, skinny jeans was the only thing back then. They’re edgy and cool. And I think they’re here to stay.
You modelled prior to launching Anine Bing. How did that experience inform your brand?
I was modelling for many years. I started when I was 14, 15. And I travelled the world and lived in so many different places. So first of all, it gave me a work ethic, because building a company is a lot of work. It also [helped me] build a network of people, from photographers and makeup artists to stylists. I also got insight into the business from another side. So it gave me a combination of bravery — just going out into the world and doing something, like modelling — and then the opportunity to meet all the people that are really beneficial [to the brand] today.

Do you still have moments when that sense of bravery comes into play?
Yes, because you have to take risks all the time. And sometimes it’s a success and other times not. For example, before the company, I was in a band that made music. Even though I didn’t make it big as an artist, I still made an album and I still got to do things that made me happy. And the music industry inspired the rock ’n’ roll vibe of the brand.
How do you balance being a designer and a business owner, as well as a content creator?
You know, I don’t look at it [that way]. I know I have an Instagram and I have a big following, which was a huge advantage when I launched the brand 11 years ago. Today, I just share whatever I’m doing — often a little glimpse of my life, if I’m travelling, and so on. I also have a Leica camera and I love photography. And I always bring it with me everywhere. I like to share what I’m doing.
For me, the number one focus is driving the company forward. We have 200 people at headquarters, so there’s so much going on all the time. That is really where my focus is.

Tell me about building Anine Bing while raising two kids.
I just love being a mom. It’s the most fulfilling thing in life. And I love being able to do that alongside building this company. Me and my husband started this company together and still work together. [Our children] see us working really hard and hopefully we inspire them to follow their dreams one day.
You’ve expanded into products like jewellery and handbags. Is there a category you would like to enter in the future?
We have just scratched the surface of handbags. I love handbags and I really want to put more focus and energy into that category and build something strong.
It’s a category that we haven’t tapped into at all, but I love, love beauty products and makeup. It’s not in the plan, but I love it, so who knows.

Finally, Kate Moss is the face of the brand. What is it like working with Kate Moss?
She is such an icon. She’s been on every mood board [of mine] since forever. And her style is perfect. Effortless. So chic. So rock ’n’ roll. When she walked into the studio in New York for the first shoot we did together, it was so much fun. It felt so surreal, but like it was meant to be as well. It was just such a cool moment.
And she’s so professional; she walks in front of the camera and delivers the photo in a couple of minutes. There’s a reason why she’s killing it — she’s amazing. And the Kate Tote is named after her because it’s an effortless, mature bag. She left the set with the tote because she loved it so much.

Festive fêtes are the ultimate setting to flaunt the over-the-top hairstyles you’ve waited all year to try. So, if an invitation to said New Year’s Eve soirée arrives in your inbox, consider it your chance to do just that.
When it comes to NYE-approved hairstyles, sculptural updos are favoured, over-embellishment is encouraged, and sophisticated simplicity is admired. From glitter-coated sleek styles fresh from the runway and ponytails decorated with bejewelled accessories, to celebrity-approved looks worn by VIPs like Margot Robbie and Kelly Rowland, we’ve rounded up eight party-worthy styles that are sure to captivate on-lookers.
Ahead, eight glitzy and glamourous hairstyles to copy this sparkly season, plus the products, accessories, and tools needed to replicate them.
Whether you’ve got naturally curly hair or you’ll be recreating this corkscrew look with an ultra-thin curling wand, soirée season is prime time to put your best head of curls forward.
To achieve this mane-like look styled by Irinel de León on Madison Pettis, split your hair down the middle to create a centre part. Then, incorporate a little party-ready sparkle by adding bedazzled hair clips or bobby pins on either side of your head.

Copy Pettis’ style by sliding these blinged-out bobby pins by Kitsch onto the top of your head. Both festive and functional, these slip-proof pins will stay put so you can dance the night away.

During the Julien Macdonald Fall/Winter 2023 show, models sashayed down the catwalk with sleek buns and slick backs spattered with glitter — and the look has lived rent-free in our minds ever since.
What begins with a simple hairstyle you’ve likely been wearing all year long is instantly upgraded with a spritz of glitter that requires next to no effort to pull off. Sure, it’s a tad avant-garde, but no real New Year’s Eve party can start without a little (or a lot) of glitter. The more, the merrier, we say.

IGK’s Pre-Party Sprinkle Hair Strobing Spray disperses bursts of glitter that give off a luminous, rainbow-hued effect. After a few spritzes of this spray, your new party trick will be turning heads as you turn yours.
2023 was unofficially the year of Barbie, and there’s no better way to close it out than by paying homage to the blonde icon one last time. Channel a vintage iteration of the doll with this retro pony, as seen on Barbie star Margot Robbie at the 2023 Gotham Awards.
Like Robbie, whose pony was crafted by her go-to hairstylist Bryce Scarlett, opt for a side-parted bang that swoops across the face, and is then tucked behind your ear. To best capture that vintage feel, flip the ends of your pony with a flat iron to achieve a doll-like flick.

Add a few pumps of Color Wow’s Pop and Lock High Gloss Shellac serum to your ponytail to keep it free of frizz and full of shine. Plus, you can also use it ahead of styling as a heat protectant if needed.
Anyone who shows up to a New Year’s celebration with an infinity bun like this one by celebrity hairstylist Hayley Logan is sure to impress party-goers and leave them wondering, How did you do that?
What they won’t know is that this seemingly intricate chignon is easier to recreate than it looks. Once you’ve secured a sleek, low pony, begin to twist it. Wrap the hair clockwise around your base, as you would a traditional bun, and then pin it in place. Then, with the remainder of your twisted ponytail, create a loop around your index finger and pin it in place above your bun. Très chic, non?

You can never have too many bobby pins—especially when going for experimental styles like this one. Goody’s slide-proof bobby pins have never let us down, and we love that this value pack comes with 60 of them.
As stars rolled up to the premiere of Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland caught our eye with this Marilyn Monroe-inspired bob styled by Devante Turnbull. As much as we loved her chrome ensemble complete with a built-in cone bra, we couldn’t take our eyes off her full-of-body bob.
From old-fashioned roller sets and pin curls to big-barrelled curling wands, there is no one particular way to achieve this look. As long as it’s full of volume with an air of old Hollywood glamour, you’re doing it right. If you went the bob route this year, take it to another level by recreating this look.
Photography Courtesy of Oribe
Lock in your hairdo with a spritz of this Superfine Strong Hair Spray by Oribe. Scented with Oribe’s signature Côte d’Azur fragrance, it also doubles as a hair perfume.
Bubble ponytails like this one are already a step above your average pony, but the pièce de résistance here is a show-stopping hair accessory — or three. From French barrettes to necklaces and bracelets that can be used as hair jewelry when tied over clear elastics, the possibilities for embellishing a basic bubble pony are endless.
We adorn our ears, necks, and hands with dainty gold and silver treasures, so why not our hair?

Lelet New York is home to the dreamiest modern hair accessories designed for “forward thinkers.” Our pick for the party season is this Glossy Bar Barrette in 14K gold.
If you’ve committed to wearing braids for the winter, consider replicating the two-piece top-knot hairdo that Black-ish actress Marsai Martin wore to the premiere of The Little Mermaid earlier this year. Martin’s hairstylist, Alexander Armand, described this look as “elevated, chic, and glamour mermaid hair,” on Instagram, and we couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
Leave out a front braid or two to frame the face, and sculpt your baby hairs along the hairline to add some oomph to the look.

To tame frizz and keep your braids looking fresh and shiny, reach for this Curl Mousse by Pattern Beauty. And, once you’ve taken your braids out, it also can be used to help define curls.

Bows and headbands have both had their moments this year, but have you worn them together yet? If not, we encourage you to follow in the footsteps of Dior, who sent models down its Fall 2023 runway with padded black headbands that doubled as a bow around a low-tied ponytail.
There’s something incredibly chic and understated about simple black hair accessories — and for that reason, they’ll never tire. Minimalists, this look is for you.

Leonine Vintage offers a drool-worthy vintage padded velvet headband that you may never want to take off. We’re utterly obsessed.

There are few celebrities who have modern fashion girlies in a chokehold quite like Hailey Bieber. Between the elevated simplicity of her street style looks and her glam red carpet moments to her knack for turning just about anything into a beauty trend, Bieber continues to be a blueprint for copycat-worthy style.
The model and Rhode brand founder has had quite the public style evolution. From sporting skinny leather pants and high-top sneakers during the 2010s to her often sophisticated looks of today, Bieber’s style has hit its stride.
And, despite being labelled as a “double nepo baby” by New YorkMagazine because of her famous father and husband, Bieber has managed to carve out her own fashion forward personal brand for herself that sets her apart — and she’s had fun while doing it.
In honour of her luxurious yet seemingly attainable style, we’re rounding up some of Hailey Bieber’s best looks of 2023.

The slightly chillier weather in L.A. didn’t stop Bieber from donning the no-pants trend.
While out running errands with her husband, the model paired an oversized red sweatshirt with a loose-fitting camel coat from The Row, Mary Jane flats from Sandy Liang with preppy white socks, a top-handle Saint Laurent duffle bag and a vintage Nike baseball cap.

The month prior, the A-lister also rocked the pantsless look — or so it seemed.
For this NYC outing, Bieber is actually wearing a barely-there leather miniskirt from Cultnaked, which she paired with Calzedonia sheer black tights, heeled Mary Janes from Proenza Schouler and a maroon Chanel Boston bag. She opted for lots of layers on top to balance out the outfit with a loose-fitting black sweatshirt and a rich eggplant-coloured oversized coat.

It’s no surprise that the seasoned model knows how to adapt her wardrobe to the changing seasons, and she proved that she’s a pro at transitional fashion with this all-black evening ensemble she wore in NYC.
Bieber showed off her abs in a black bra top and a midi-skirt with a ruched waistband that dipped just below her belly button. She mixed in traditionally autumnal elements, including a trench coat, mid-calf heeled leather boots and a leather shoulder bag.
Bieber wore a series of red ensembles to promote the launch of her Strawberry Glaze flavoured Lip Peptide Treatment in NYC, including this sweet scarlet mini-dress. She paired the strapless number with strawberry earrings and matching red mules.

Earlier that same day, Bieber sported fall’s hottest colour in head-to-toe red for an appearance on Good Morning America. The monochromatic look exuded old Hollywood glamour with Bieber pairing the romantic off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood tea-length dress with matching Maison Ernest stilettos and a chic patent leather handbag by Ferragamo. Staying on theme, the model’s iconic bob was styled into a deep side part and she further accessorized the look with elegant jewellery, including gold hoops, a wristwatch and a collection of rings.

For dinner with fellow supermodel BFFs Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid in Los Angeles, Bieber wore a vintage white Versace mini-dress covered in trippy yellow and orange dots. She paired the citrus-inspired dress with a matching orange Bottega Veneta clutch, white heeled sandals and a “B” pendant necklace for a very end-of-summer look.
The off-duty model sported this denim-on-denim look while out and about in L.A. By pairing the quintessential white crop top and baggy jorts combination with a dark denim Calvin Klein jacket and pair of classic gold Brinker + Eliza earrings, Bieber elevated the outfit beyond just errand-running attire. She kept it casual by sporting a pair of trendy black Adidas Samba sneakers and crew-length white socks.
A Hailey Bieber style round-up would be incomplete without this head-turning look. The A-lister spent a night out in NYC in full-on Barbiecore, stepped out in this glittery rose-coloured Vivienne Westwood bustier mini-dress. To accessorize, Bieber opted for a slicked-back hairstyle, glowy pink makeup, dainty Tiffany & Co. diamond necklace and earrings, transparent Gianvito Rossi heels and a matching sparkly purse.

Has any other celeb been a bigger advocate for jorts this summer than Mrs.Bieber? The model went full-on dad mode with this white monochromatic look, paired her baggy jorts from Loulou Studio with a skinny belt, her go-to micro-sunnies an a sock and sandal combination that defied all known fashion rules. With the help of a stylish Bottega Veneta bag and her signature brown bob, Bieber elevated the outfit from dad-chic to just plain chic.

Tonal dressing? Check. Oversized coat? Check. White crew socks and loafers? Check! For one of the most stylish coffee runs ever attempted, Bieber paired a dramatic camel coat with a matching belted miniskirt, a simple black top, preppy black loafers and white socks.
Strolling hand-in-hand after a brunch date with her husband in L.A., Hailey wore an interesting ‘fit with several elements that shouldn’t have necessarily worked together but totally did. The model wore yellow corduroy pants and a white top with Jil Sander heeled mules, a fuzzy orange-red coat and a red Yankees baseball cap. Despite the seemingly clashing pieces, the outfit was brought together by Bieber’s mini shearling Bottega Veneta bag that complimented the coat’s texture while matching her pants and mules perfectly.

In a cooler weather look that many of us Canadians can appreciate, Bieber stepped out for a coffee date with singer Justine Skye wearing a black bomber-style jacket and her usual black sunglasses, simple gold earrings and slick-backed bun. But, in a move that would only work during an *L.A.* winter, she juxtaposed the oversized coat with a pair of black biker shorts.
We’re nearing the end of 2023 and this year’s perfume launches have stirred up plenty of excitement. From revamped classics to niche scents inspired by memorable pop culture moments (more on that later), the world of fragrance has been in full bloom.
But what separates a good perfume from an absolute showstopper? It’s hard to say.
More often than not, a scent can unearth a fond memory or even remind you of a place you dream of visiting. Either way, trying on a new fragrance is like stepping into a time machine: it either takes you back or flings you forward.
Ready to go for a ride? Here, the best new perfumes of 2023, including scents from YSL, Tom Ford, Cartier and more. Plus, a few all-time favourite fragrances we fell in love with this year that stood the test of time.
Tom Ford Vanilla Sex
Tom Ford is closing out the 2023 year on a high note with the launch of a provocative new scent labelled Vanilla Sex. Described as “anything but ordinary and far from innocent,” this deeply addictive scent features vanilla facets like sultry vanilla absolute and soft Vanilla Tincture India, an ingredient developed exclusively for Tom Ford.
With contrasting notes of sandalwood peeking through, this alluring fragrance transcends traditional notions of what it once meant to smell like sweet vanilla.
For the sixth fragrance in Louis Vuitton’s Les Extraits collection, perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud turned to oud (one of the oldest and most expensive fragrance materials in the world, which has been used in Asia and the Middle East for centuries). In Myriad, famously dense, complex, woody oud—which is often referred to as “black gold”—is contrasted with rose, saffron, white musk and cocoa, to pierce through its heaviness. The end result is a scent that is full of contradictions. Intense but still light. Surprising yet timeless.
In the world of fragrance, there are scents that are cloyingly sweet; there are uplifting perfumes that are begging to be worn at the beach, and then there are the ones that just smell rich. Guerlain’s Tobacco Honey is the latest inductee into the latter category. With notes of leather, tobacco, chocolate, wood and honey, the fragrance is elegant, robust and warm. Its thick, syrupy aroma lingers, revealing more and more about itself as day turns to night. Like stepping into a dimly lit cigar and cocktail lounge, and stepping out feeling like you’ve levelled up a tax bracket, Tobacco Honey is quiet luxury in a bottle.
Released 30 years after the brand’s very first scent, Gaultier Divine is a nod to the drastic evolution of femininity through the years. Featuring the iconic cone bra on the bottle, the fragrance is sweet, salty, and audacious—blending white floral notes with whipped meringue and saltwater. The takeaway? Why compromise when you can do (and smell like) it all?
One year after the launch of Fame, Rabanne’s Fame Parfum arrives with a dark spin on the original. The new fragrance introduces heightened levels of sensuality, seduction and glamour with an intense blend of woody-meets-floral jasmine, incense, and musk notes.
Dressed in glossy black and gold, the bottle is inspired by the fashion house’s iconic 1969 chainmail bag.
Transporting wearers to a pulsing European nightclub with a single spritz, Kilian’s new Smoking Hot perfume presents a modernized version of a smokey fragrance. Fusing Kentucky tobacco absolute with apple-flavoured shisha tobacco and boozy bourbon vanilla, you’ll be hooked on this hot new scent.
Cacharel’s latest addition to the Yes I Am collection smells as delightful as the lipstick-shaped vessel. One spritz delivers an explosion of sweet red berries and fresh peony with a lingering trail of sandalwood. It’s an instant fave — and affordable to boot.
What’s woody, spicy, and seductive? Why, it’s Tom Ford’s latest fragrance launch, of course. Myrrhe Mystère leads with an addictive duo of myrrh essences rounded out by a warm blend of ultra-vanille accord and sandalwood.
It’s got the mysterious allure of a true Tom Ford fragrance, with a modern twist that elevates one of the label’s most iconic ingredients.
Get your spiced chai latte fix from Le Monde Gourmand’s fall-favourite Chai Épicé scent. A happy medium of sweet and spicy, this fragrance feels like fall thanks to its violet fig, muguet musk, and blonde wood notes.
Contributing to the 2023 resurgence of rosy fragrances, Kayali’s Oudgasm Café Oud features a splash of rose at its heart in between autumnal notes of creamy cappuccino and woody oud. This scent lives in the perfumery’s new Oudgasm Collection, which was inspired by brand founder Mona Kattan’s deep love for opulent oud.
It’s shaping up to be a red year indeed. And this autumn, Byredo has hopped on the colour trend with the launch of Rouge Chaotique. Noted with intoxicating bursts of intense saffron, sweet plum and praline, this fragrance marks Byredo’s first oud gourmand scent to join the perfumery’s Night Veils collection.
Rapper Tyler the Creator enters the world of fragrance and beauty with the launch of Golf le Fleur, a collection of fragrance, nail polish and accessories, at Thirteen Line. Evocative of summer days filled with lake swims and flowers picked from the garden, this Le Fleur fragrance from the new the line features key mandarin, magnolia, jasmine, and sandalwood notes.
Artfully adorned with silver arabesque motifs and the signature blue hue you may recognize from the cabochon residing within the iconic Pasha de Cartier watch, this limited-edition Pasha de Cartier Parfum bottle is peak luxury. Inside, notes of warm sandalwood and sensual amber combine to create a truly high-end fragrance.
All it takes is a glance at the bottle to understand that this fragrance is for the die-hard gourmand fans, if the name didn’t give it away immediately. Juicy Couture’s latest, Viva La Juicy Sucré is everything sweet rolled into one: think juicy mandarin, peach nectar, and fresh gardenia, topped with a layer of vanilla icing, a generous dollop of whipped cream and a pinch of cocoa powder. Hungry yet?
If you’re a fan of Chanel’s OG Chance fragrance, you’ll adore this summery twist on the scent. Made with a blend of zesty citrus, teak wood and jasmine, it’s comforting and fresh all at once.
Millie Bobby Brown is entering the celebrity fragrance world with an earthy new scent, and it’s a fitting addition to Brown’s ultra-popular clean beauty line, Florence By Mills. Wildly Me combines fresh bergamot and sage with woody sandalwood and tons of fragrant purple blooms like wisteria, violet and iris. Put it this way: if the song “Lavender Haze” was a scent, this would be it.
When it comes to rose perfumes, no brand does it quite like Aerin. Rose de Grasse Rouge — the newestaddition to the beauty brand’s rose premier collection — blends classic red roses with rose water and honeycomb, resulting in a romantic and timeless scent.
This is not a drill: YSL’s new eau de parfum, MYSLF, is fronted by none other than Austin Butler. So if you ever wanted to know what the star smells like, imagine a combination of Calabrian Bergamot, sweet orange blossom and a touch of musky patchouli. A little fresh, a little earthy, and very, very sexy.
Have you met Perfumehead yet? If not, allow us to introduce you. Launched in the fall of 2022, this Los Angeles-based niche fragrance brand has gained quite the reputation for its cinematic approach to scent. Think fragrances inspired by David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, or Britney and Justin’s unforgettable double denim moment at the AMAs (that’s the coriander, cumin and tonka-infused Canadian Tuxedo, for those wondering).
Founder Daniel Patrick Giles — who began his career at Holt Renfrew — built each of the seven extraits de parfum in Perfumehead’s collection as scents you can layer, inspired by the “osmocosm”—“osmo” meaning scent and “cosmo” as in universe. And in a delightful full circle moment, the brand is now exclusively available in Canada at Holts.
Can’t decide between floral or fruity scents? You can have both with Paco Rabanne Lady Million Royal, which smells like a bed of white flowers surrounded by sweet pomegranate. Very dreamy.
We can successfully conclude that rose fragrances have made a major comeback this year. We love Tom Ford’s take on the trend, which infuses Turkish and Bulgarian rose with the addictive scent of coffee. It’s warm, mysterious and seriously long-lasting.
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Summer Vibes Eau de Toilette

Dolce & Gabanna Light Blue has been a beloved scent since it first came on the scene in 2001, and its latest reinterpretation is shaping up to be just as appealing. With a mix of bergamot, peach and cedar, it has that same woody-fruity essence, but with a little more zest.
