Hermès Terre d’Hermès Eau de Parfum Intense
The first Terre d’Hermès series was unveiled in 2006, quickly becoming a hallmark of Hermès’ fragrance offerings. Now, the brand has unveiled a new chapter in this iconic series, with the Terre d’Hermès Eau De Parfum Intense.
This iteration delves deeper into the earthy DNA of the original, with warm notes of fiery bergamot, smoky wood and mineral-rich accents reminiscent of volcanic stone. This is a fragrance for the grounded yet adventurous man, offering sophistication with an elemental edge.
Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey collection
This pair of perfume from Issey Miyake offers a deep dive into the ocean — metaphorically, of course, although your nose might trick you into thinking otherwise.
Drawing inspiration from underwater meadows and marine life, the women’s edition unfolds in waves of Posidonia seagrass, ylang-ylang and rose, wrapped in vanilla warmth. The men’s fragrance is bolder, with Sichuan pepper, lemon, balsam fir and cedarwood creating a magnetic aquatic-woody signature. Both fragrances have over 90% natural-origin ingredients and are packaged in refillable bottles.

Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Parfum Intense
The latest women’s fragrance by Narciso Rodriguez captures feminine magnetism in a bottle. Like the Daisy Wild Eau So Intense, this was also formulated by Constant; the perfume opens with peach and Calabrian bergamot, before unfolding into white florals and red spiderlily. A rich vanilla and vetiver base completes the composition.
For Her Eau De Parfum Intense comes in a vivid fuchsia hue that reflects the fragrance’s elevated sensuality. It can be worn alone or layered with For Her Pure Musc, a floral fragrance with strong musk notes.
Le Labo Eucalyptus 20
Eucalyptus 20, the newest member of Le Labo’s Classic Collection, takes inspiration from vast, untouched landscapes. Designed to feel like stepping off-grid and into the rawness of nature, this unisex perfume evokes the stillness of a eucalyptus tree standing tall in red sand. Notes of crisp, fresh eucalyptus are grounded by cedar, labdanum, frankincense and musk.

Henry Jacques Il y Avait Un Jardin collection
As it celebrates its 50th anniversary, Henry Jacques has introduced a refreshingly elemental fragrance line, Il y Avait Un Jardin. Comprising two fragrances, simply named I and II, the collection’s name is French for “there was a garden”.
Designed for daily rituals, these cologne-style scents are bottled in 250ml flacons that invite frequent, carefree spritzing. In focus are natural ingredients straight from Italian orchards — the brand has collaborated with a Calabrian family of citrus growers to source raw materials. I is led by orange blossom with ambery depths, while II is citrus-forward with vetiver and tonka.
Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Eau So Intense
Bold and exuberant, Daisy Wild Eau So Intense dials up the carefree spirit of Marc Jacobs’ Daisy line. Crafted by perfumers Sonia Constant and Adriana Medina, the fragrance bursts with banana blossom, jasmine, amber and sandalwood. The result is a rich yet playful floral scent that’s perfect for wild hearts and wanderers. The colourful flower-studded bottle mirrors the untamed energy within.
Bvlgari Eau Parfumée collection
Long-time clients of Bvlgari might be familiar with Thé Blanc and Thé Vert, which were once exclusive for buyers of the brand’s jewellery offerings. The two eau de toilettes have now been released with new formulations featuring natural tea extracts.
Thé Vert is vibrant and herbaceous, with bergamot and neroli. Thé Blanc, meanwhile, smells of white tea with musk and floral notes. Each bottle includes Eastern-inspired detailing and is made of sustainable materials. Both Thé Blanc and Thé Vert have also been produced as body lotions.
