Spring 2024 Perfume Launches : Lilac, Vetiver, Moss and Seaweed
As I was updating my ISIPCA course and preparing my new spring seminars, I tried a selection of new launches, some of which seemed interesting enough to share with you in a separate article. While new launches are almost always skewed towards Christmas sales, I like the spring offer because it tends to show a greater variety of compositions. There will still be a wave of summer flankers and sports colognes, but for now, we have many radiant florals, soft chypres and salty vetivers.
Dries Van Noten Mystic Moss (perfumer Nicolas Bonneville)
An elegant composition centered on vetiver, with a strong salty, seaweed facet. Imagine driftwood on the beach. An effervescent combination of cardamom and mandarin lends it brightness that lasts even when the darker woods take over.
Guerlan Rose Amira (perfumer Delphine Jelk)
A Persian-style rose perfume where roses are liberally layered with incense and dark woods. If you like your roses smoky and mysterious, this is the right fragrance for you. It features a natural rose note, which is splendidly warm and honeyed. While Rose Amira is currently a duty-free exclusive, it will be distributed more widely later this spring.
Emily in Lavender Perfumes : Not So Simple (and my Lavender Gold Standard): Mmmmm, MEM by Bogue. Got a sample early on in my fragrance obsessive phase & then a decant. My first prismatic encounter. Haven’t smelled it in too long, you’re inspiring… January 13, 2025 at 12:58pm
