The perfume house, which is known for its approach that that blends ancient tradition with modern innovation, has crafted a collection of perfumes, oils, and body care products that challenge conventional norms of scent for the past 30 years.

_{Nina Simona Briazu for Massimiliano Torti}

Born in Florence in 1975, Torti’s early exposure to the world of fragrances in the ’80s and ’90s ignited his passion for perfumery, honing in on single-note essences and focussing on the authenticity of raw essences. As such, his scents incorporate a high concentrations of essential oils (30- 40%), exemplifying his dedication to purity, and crafted by hand in his Umbrian workshop, in limited quantities to ensure excellence.

_{Raw collection by Massimiliano Torti}

On his approach Torti says,”we believe that true luxury lies in exclusivity and individuality. By remaining offline and avoiding mainstream marketing, we ensure that our fragrances are for those who truly appreciate the art of perfumery. Our goal is to teach individuals how to perfume themselves, to create their own rituals, and to discover scents that align with their essence.”

_{Bianca collection by Massimiliano Torti}

Channeling the brand philosophy that sees fragrance as a personal and transformative, the key to their scents is the art of layering, a technique that allows for personalised luxury. Torti introduced the concept of “olfactory stratification,” an approach that encourages the layering of different scents across various parts of the body that results in a rich, multidimensional fragrance experience. This method allows wearers to build a signature scent, and with over 300 fragrances, there’s a whole host of options to be worn.

_{Amber collection by Massimiliano Torti}

Building on years of research, artistry, and innovation, the house has added to its family with Nina Simona Briazu, a talented “nose” and personal protégé who plays a key role in expanding Torti’s brand and philosophy, and she’s marks the next chapter for the brand with the opening the London boutique.

Here, she will offer personalised fragrance experiences, helping to craft bespoke fragrances. On the offering Nina says, “I want to create ‘perfume awareness’—teaching people to own their scent identities. Fragrance is an intimate experience that deserves to be understood and appreciated.”

From the spice trails through Florence, London at night, Great Gatsby-esque parties, experiencing some California love, sailing the stormy high seas and for an exhilarating spin in an Italian sportscar – all navigated through the mysterious and marvellous medium of perfume.

Chanel Beauty – Allure Homme Sport Superleggera

£130 for 100ml – Available here

A limited-edition release flanker of the Chanel Allure Homme Sport fragrance, Superleggera is inspired by the concept of “superleggera” (meaning super-light in Italian and used to describe a construction technique using super-lightweight materials to make sports car).

Created by Chanel in-house nose, Olivier Polge, Superleggera has a lighter blend of woody notes with its original amber dialled down. It is built around an “engine” centre of patchouli and is a lighter invigorating version of the classic scent.

The classic Allure Homme Sport bottle has been revamped in clear smoked glass with the Superleggera imprinted on it in striking, dynamic red lettering.

Penhaligon’s – The Dandy

£175 for 100ml – Available here

Presented in very stylish Art Deco packaging, The Dandy, the new launch from heritage British perfume house Penhaligon’s pays homage to Great Gatsby-inspired nights of revelry. With a whisky accord blended with raspberry and bergamot, cedarwood essence and base notes of patchouli and cedret, oak and smoke, it’s a glamorous affair.

Noyz – Lost and Found

£85 for 50ml – Available here

Noyz is a gender-neutral fragrance brand set up by Southern Californian serial entrepreneur Shaun Neff. Noyz is dedicated to self-expression in scent, using high quality, long-lasting ingredients to create juices “inspired by real stories and raw feelings” and “the loud, the imperfect, the messy, the real”.

Made by leading nose Jérôme Epinette (the perfumer behind work for Byredo, Dolce & Gabbana and Van Cleef & Arpels), Lost and Found is a subtle and attractive skin scent that draws you in with its profile of Italian lemon and pink pepper; raspberry, rhubarb and jasmine; and a foundation of sugar, cedarwood and amber.

And not only is Noyz high quality and expertly composed – at a very reasonable price point – it is also certified vegan and cruelty-free and uses no synthetic dyes or animal by-products.

Issey Miyake – Le Sel d’Issey

£101 for 100ml – Available here

A major fragrance launch for men from Issey Miyake 30 years after L’Eau d’Issey, Le Sel d’Issey is by rising star perfumer Quentin Bisch.

Bisch says of the new juice, it is “scent of the exact moment the waves roll back, transitioning between the earth and sea. Salt is the memory left behind by a wave on the earth and on the skin, almost like an imprint. I wanted the focus to be salt, which naturally complements the idea of water previously showcased by the brand – with the huge success it experienced – as well as the rhythm and movement of nature.”

With a vibrant refreshing salt accord – augmented by intense cedarwood and oakmoss, Le Sel d’Issey is very wearable and versatile. A great daily go-to scent.

Superdry – Real Superdry 01 for Men

£45 for 100ml – Available here

I love a well-crafted great smelling perfume sold at a very reasonable price. And the new Superdry line released as a duo – one for women, one for men –  is just that.

Real Superdry 01 is composed by master perfumers Nathalie Lorson and Alexandra Monet (the noses behind perfumes for Amouage, Dior, Bulgari, Kenzo and Givenchy), with creative direction from the Superdry CEO Julian Dunkerton. The breezy and enlivening Real Superdry 01 contains skilfully balanced salty, mineral notes blended with a bright citrus, cooled by the balmy Hinoki (a Japanese wood).

Real Superdry 01 has great eco-cred too. It’s presented in 100 per cent recyclable and refillable bottles with wooden caps – made from partially recycled glass. It is also vegan-friendly, eco-conscious scent made of 98 per cent naturally sourced, socially responsible ingredients, too. Superdry is onto a winner.

Beaufort London – Absent Presence

£115 for 50ml – Available here

The last fragrance in the British’s brand Revenant series inspired by the sea and seafaring, Absent Presence draws inspiration from Elizabethan poet Sir Philip Sidney’s haunting sonnet sequence, Astrophel and Stella, which evokes the eerie presence of someone who is never seen but whose presence is felt.

Absent Presence also evokes elemental dark bodies of water and crashing walls of waves. Like the rest of the Revenant series, made of a high level of natural ingredents – 30 per cent eau de parfum – it contains an overdose of concentrated ingredients.

These include galbanum, bergamot and black pepper as opening notes; violet leaf and jasmine at the centre; moored down with extravagant bourbon vetiver, sandalwood, leather, musk, cedarwood and an amber base. A unique compelling composition.

Electimuss London – Spice D’Arno

£200 for 100ml – Available here

Part of the revered brand’s Explorer Collection, the starting point for its new launch – Spice D’Arno – is the city of Florence and the Arno River that flows through it. Composed by master perfumer Celine Barel, who says she was inspired by Florence’s “its rich history. I wanted to work with one of its emblems, a full-grain leather, soft and velvety, which I sublimated by combining it with mystical resins and balsams like myrrh, olibanum, labdanum and gurjun.”

Adding iris to interplay with warm spices, saffron and vanilla (which were once transported on the Arno), Barel seals the deal with an elegant touch of oud, myrrh and cashmeran at the base.

Moncler – Les Sommets Ciel d’Hiver

£175 for 100ml – Available here

Luxury fashion house Moncler introduces a new fragrance into its Les Sommets collection that celebrates the brand’s rich Alpine heritage, stunning mountain forests as well as cosy chalets – Ciel d’Hiver.

Staying true to the codes of the house, a dazzling neroli bursts through to open up the wood- and musk-infused Ciel d’Hiver, creating a refined and complex scent.

Mastenbroek London – London Dusk

£150 for 100ml – Available here

A new limited-edition launch from the UK-based and family-run fragrance company, London Dusk is a collaboration between the founder and master perfumer Ruth Mastenbroek and her son Nic.

The scent combines Ruth’s wealth of experience in formulating with Nic’s innovative take on perfume making. Harmonious and vibrant, London Dusk captures the experience of adventures in the city as dusk falls until dawn awakens.

London Dusk opens with redolent golden fig, elemi, coconut; has a rich tonka bean, saffron, incense heart and a base of sandalwood, vetiver and amber. It’s a brilliant companion to explore the city with

Creed – Centaurus

£330 for 100ml – Available here

This autumn Creed launches its Amber Universe with two perfumes that delve into wood and leather accords to create a “duo reminiscent of radiant amber gemstones”.

Using the finest raw materials from “rare spices to precious woods, resins, and balms”, Amber Universe mines the hypnotic and sensual facets of amber to create these two exceptional fragrances, Delphinus and Centaurus (named after the brightest stars in the universe).

Inspired by the wise centaur of Greek mythology, Centaurus, this wonderfully luxurious EDP blazes with spice notes pink pepper, cinnamon, and cardamom and warm rich tobacco; has a heart of géranium, sandalwood, héliotrope, jasmine patchouli and is grounded by rich and almost luminous amber facets of benzoin, tolu balm, tonka bean, ambroxan and bourbon vanilla.

Here, expect a curated selection of fragrances and signature products that embody the heritage of the pharmacy, and visitors can immerse themselves in Florentine tradition and craftsmanship – after all, Santa Maria Novella dates back to 1221, and the brand has been intertwined with the lives of royals, nobility, and admirers.

Expanding its presence in the UK, where its products have been cherished for centuries, this marks the third London store, joining those in Piccadilly and Walton Street, as well as the corners in Harrods and Liberty London.

_{Santa Maria Novella Store in Burlington Gardens}

This opening marks a significant step in Santa Maria Novella’s ongoing expansion, which continues its tradition of excellence by reinterpreting the Renaissance taste for natural sciences and perfumery art with products distributed in 30 countries and more than 400 points of sale worldwide.

Demonstrating the brand’s commitment to sharing Florentine cultural heritage abroad, and its linked with  the Florentine Renaissance and to Leonardo da Vinci in particular, Santa Maria Novella is also supporting “Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael: Florence, c. 1504” at the Royal Academy of Arts – just a stone’s throw away from the boutique.

_{Santa Maria Novella Store in Burlington Gardens}

Giovanna Paoloni, CEO of Officina Profumo – Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, says, “With our support of this exhibition and the opening of the new Burlington Gardens store we want to strengthen our presence in London and continue the Renaissance tradition of promoting the arts, a legacy that Santa Maria Novella continues to celebrate through the centuries today.”

In 1504, while working on the grand painting, “The Battle of Anghiari”, a piece that was never completed, Leonardo stayed at the convent of Santa Maria Novella, where the brand’s flagship store is still located today. The pharmacy, at the time, had been in operation for almost three centuries and was selling products, such as Acqua di Rose, now an item that’s become synonymous with Florence.

_{Santa Maria Novella Store in Burlington Gardens}

It was here that Leonardo, inspired by the friars’ remedies and aromatic waters, studied botany and perfumery and created glass tools, “alambicchi” a.k.a. alembics, for perfume distillation. His studies and designs inspired a range of artefacts that are still kept in the historic Santa Maria Novella’s store at Via della Scala 16 in Florence.

The post Make-up artist Marcelo Gutierrez announces debut book – Nothing Precious first appeared on The Glass Magazine.

Crafted by Claire Liegent of Takasago, this fragrance is described as “a scented tribute to boundless love and magnetic attraction.” It opens with rich, sweet notes of Black Cherry, balanced by deeper tones of leather, toasted embers, and sensual musk.

Inspired by the beauty of Arabic culture and its deep-rooted traditions, Oud Ghazal is nothing short of passion, yet simultaneously exudes an enchanting warmth and an aura of relaxation through de-stress molecules that add soothing, irresistible undertones.

_{Oud Ghazal}

This scent also pays homage to the calming, ancient Arabic tradition of Bakhoor—the ritual of burning agarwood chips infused with resins and spices to create a relaxing atmosphere for the mind and soul. Like Bakhoor, Oud Ghazal lingers on the skin, enveloping it in a soft blend of smoky and silky notes, creating an experience that feels both luxurious and grounding.

From backstage, cue the 16 Arlington SS25 show, to front-page editorials, Sam’s signature looks were built on roller sets that created fullness and drama, capturing the essence of a decade that celebrated big hair and big personalities.

_{Backstage at 16Arlington SS25. Hair by Sam McKnight}

As Sam says, “Velcro rollers have been a staple since the ‘80s – they’re foolproof for getting that runway lift at the roots and a soft, touchable texture. The hood dryer locks in your set, brining that vintage glamour to life.”

_{The Big Set by Sam McKnight}

How to achieve the look:

• Mist dry hair with Modern Hairspray for hold and heat protection, then roll each section from ends to roots. Remember larger rollers lift hair at the crown, adding that supermodel height, while medium rollers create luscious body through the sides and back.
• Attach the hood to a hairdryer set to warm for 15-20 minutes.
• Allow hair to cool, remove rollers, and gently brush out for a smooth, high-volume finish.
• Finish with a final mist of Modern Hairspray for long-lasting, soft, glossy hold.

The post Glass Luxury Beauty Gift Guide for Her 2024 first appeared on The Glass Magazine.

Known to the noses, this fragrance was crafted by master perfumer Alienor Massenet, who says, “Inspired by the beauty and magic of nature, I sought to create a scent that awakens the senses and evokes the feeling of being truly alive and powerful. Whether it’s the grandeur of trees or the calm of water, these natural elements reconnect us to reality, allowing us to fully embrace the world around us.”

_{Bentley BECOME}

On her homage to nature, she continues, “I wanted to honor nature’s peaceful yet powerful essence through the use of quality ingredients. BECOME is both invigorating, with fresh black pepper and juniper berries, and warmly comforting, thanks to the richness of myrrh absolute and Madagascar patchouli essence. These spicy, balsamic, and woody notes paint magnificent landscapes and transport us olfactively to the heart of the earth.”

A nod to Bentley’s commitment to sustainability, the brand has partnered with Symrise, a renowned supplier of recycled and renewable ingredient. Here, Bentley BECOME combines innovation and artisanal sourced plants and flowers from Symrise’s Grasse based Maison Lautier.

As such, this scent offers an excellent sustainability ratings with 70.81 per cent renewable carbon and 46.97 per cent upcycled materials. The bottle design is environmentally conscious too, with a 100% recyclable aluminium cap and a biodegradable green colour gradient, along with a recyclable, FSC certified carton.
