ITALIAN perfumery Massimiliano Torti has its eyes set on London with its new debut bricks-and-mortar store in Soho, and its the first store outside of Italy.

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.”

FOR THIS Autumn’s scent selections, I feel I have been on a very wide-ranging and expansive – olfactive ­– journey.

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.

WITH a passion for blending the fine art of perfumery with the science of fragrant’s impact on emotions, Edeniste presents its latest active fragrance: Oud Ghazal.

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.

Available from Harrods RRP £240

MEET Bentley BECOME, the new scent to join the Bentley Fragrance portfolio. Having recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, the new Eau de Parfum channels a spicy-meet-floral freshness, with its citrus burst of sweet orange and bergamot, hit of refreshing black pepper, and earthy richness courtesy of cedarwood.

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.

HERMÈS fragrances often explore the heritage and codes of the house. And their latest fragrance and eau de parfum – Barénia is no exception to this. (Barenia being a kind of leather often used by the brand to make their exceptional handbags.)

Even the elegant bottle design – with metal studs at the top designed by Philippe Mouquet – takes inspiration from the brand’s Collier de chien bracelet.

Hermès new fragrance, Barénia eau de parfum

The fragrance – created by in-house master perfumer Christine Nagel – is the first chypre for Hermès. A chypre is a complex and sophisticated kind of scent infused with woody earthy and sometimes leather accents – sometimes brightened by adding some citrus notes like bergamot. They are luxurious and sumptuous.

Eight years in the making, Barénia errs on the leathery olfactory chypre-side and has opening notes of Miracle berry andbergamot; a heart of white gnger lily; and supported by a beautiful wood base of patchouli, akigalawood and oak. Perfect for sliding into Autumn, Barénia is a easy-to-wear, refined scent.

by Caroline Simpson

Barénia (EDP) retails at £100 for 60ml and £137 for 100ml

MAKING a splash at Villa Savoye for the new Loewe Perfumes campaign, brand ambassadors Jamie Dornan and Sophie Wilde bare all to showcase the new additions: Esencia and Agua Drop.

Named as the two hero fragrances by the in-house nose Nuria Cruelles, from the Loewe Botanical Rainbow line, the first is seen a more masculine scent and the latter as more feminine.

Jamie Dornan by David Sims

Though the brand tends to align their perfumes to be more unisex, later in the campaign there is a snapshot of the Loewe Un Paseo por Madrid Prado – a bottle that pays homage to the layers of vibrant culture of the brand’s founding city.

Specifically named after the museum, the perfume was created to embody the idea of escaping into nature, featuring hues of woody and ambery notes, splashes of chamomile and sage, and finishing with a hint of sweet lychee. Also adding a scent dedicated to the famed modernist Doré cinema, Loewe unveils a floral, aromatic fragrance titled Un Paseo por Madrid Doré.

Sophie Wilde by David Sims

Bringing the sultry sauve of Loewe to perfume campaigns, Wilde and Dornan are the perfect duo to spearhead these summer fragrances.

CHANEL BEAUTY has revealed a bold new fragrance in addition to its signature Allure Homme Sport line with the limited edition Allure Homme Sport Superleggera.

Set to debut this year; this fragrance is the scent of thrill-seekers and those who revel in exhilaration—honing the essence of men who venture with fervor and gallant.

Chanel Allure Homme Sport Superleggera

Allure Homme Sport Superleggera emits a potent fusion of fresh and woody amber notes, a unique scent experience that honours beauty in contrast. Upon first experience, you’re met with a vibrant grapefruit scent that omits a refreshing vitality, then you’re met with the richness of the woody amber. The potent flare of the musk heightens this refreshing mix, making for a harmonious medley of both the fresh and the warm. 

Chanel Allure Homme Sport Superleggera – 100ml for £130

This scent is made for every occasion, whether with rustling trees or bustling streets—it is crafted to accompany you on those adventures.

The bottle has been embossed with a bold red logo, the “Superleggera” emblem, honoring its high performance and depicting its unwavering essence of luxury. The design implores wearers to elevate their daily routine with a touch of audacity.

FOUNDED by April Gargiulo in 2013, Vintner’s Daughter is a California-based skincare brand that has quality and craftsmanship at the heart of it. And, yes you’ve guessed it – April has a background in winemaking, hence the commitment to quality ingredients.

This ethos hasn’t gone unnoticed as it’s built a loyal following including the likes of fresh-faced beauties from Gwyneth Paltrow and Tracee Ellis Ross to Naomi Watts and Hailey Bieber.

Vintner’s Daughter Understory

Central to the brand are nutrient-rich botanicals that are specially selected to amplify the well-being of the skin, and in April’s words to “supercharge the skin’s own powers of regeneration, balance and radiance.” And in this vein, the brand has launched its limited-edition perfume oil, Understory vol. 2. 

A unisex, hand-blended perfume oil, it’s crafted in small batches and housed in a collectable bottle. Like every creation from Vintner’s Daughter, it honours the power of the living world, and consists of the finest whole plant ingredients. Expect top notes of violet, jasmine, and rose, teamed with earthy mid notes of conifers and bay, and this deepens with moss and petals for the base.

April says, “Inspired by the ancient world of the Northern California Redwood forests, it explores the liminal space between the forest canopy and the sacred ground below. The scent is not one that announces itself loudly, but rather elegantly and intimately connects to the wearer.”

Vintner’s Daughter Understory

Vintner’s Daughter Understory

The name Understory nods to the natural world too, referring to the lower layer of a forest’s ecosystem — a lush layer of mosses, ferns, fungi and flora that form a centre of balance between the treetops above and roots below. 

To further enhance the connection with nature, it was a natural move — quite literally – to involve artist MarSha Yi Robinson, whose illustrations feature on the bottle. “Marsha is an artist and designer who thoughtfully approaches the natural world through her work. We felt a deep resonance with her philosophy, process and beautiful work. We are forever grateful for her participation in this project,” says April.

THE GODS of perfume have blessed us with an eclectic range of recent launches. Be they drop-dead gorgeous juices, splashy colognes, spicy numbers or scents inspired by post-apocalyptic skyscrapers, volcanic rock towers and even one for nightclubbing your life away, Glass has got you covered.

The House of Oud (THoO) – Crazy Wabisabi

£220 for 75ml – Available here

The House of Oud (ThoO) presents its fragrances in some of the most stunning and desirable bottles. From its latest collection, the totally unique floral-green Crazy Wabisabi is composed by perfumer Cristian Calabrò – the nose behind many of the house’s perfumes.

Drawing on his knowledge of Japan, Calabrò has created a one-off wasabi accord from the spicy rhizome of the Wasabia Japonica plant and added citrus, fruity bergamot, pink pepper and lime leaves, as well as a pear accord. Crazy Wabisabi has floral notes at the centre and a musk, cinnamon and vanilla base. This is a bright yet long-lasting extraordinary perfume.

Murdock London – Napier Cologne

£50 for 50ml – Available here

The innovative British barbershop and grooming brand, Murdock London, has launched Napier Cologne, inspired by the dapper and dashing early racing scene of the last century.

Napier Cologne is a confident and invigorating blend of cypress, fig, dried fruits and patchouli, lending a warm fruity touch. With a lot of staying power, it’s beautifully moored with earthy oakmoss and amber

Narciso Rodriguez – For Him Vetiver Musc

£90 for 100ml – Available here

Created by the very talented Mathilde Bijaoui, the nose behind scents for BDK Parfums, Dolce&Gabbana, Jo Malone London and Lalique, For Him Vetiver Musc is her latest. This flanker harmoniously blends and builds wood, green and spice aspects around the classic 2007 Narciso Rodriguez, For Him.

With patchouli, vetiver and cedar making a rich base, “the minerality is given by different agreements combined with each other,” says Bijaoui. “Cold and spicy cardamom, incense, aromatic geranium, marine and leathery red algae – a magnificent ingredient reminiscent of musk. This minerality is what makes the fragrance unique.”

Hermès – H24 Herbes Vives

£83 for 50ml – Available here

A new flanker of the Hermès’ H24, for H24 Herbes Vives master perfumer Christine Nagel takes her lead from nature as it is found in the city or town, rus in urbe, if you will, and the “happy smell of nature after the rain”.

Bosky, earthy, herbaceous, minty, musky and very fresh, Nagel combines nature and technology by blending notes of fresh herbs – savory[CS1] , sorrel, hemp, parsley, pear granita with a new mint-inflected molecule Physcool®, which gives the “sensation of freshness on the skin”.

Boujee Bougies – Verdant

£160 for 100ml – Available here

The pun-loving team behind Boujee Bougies, its creative director Nick Gilbert and perfumer Pia Long, have launched a fabulous fragrance line based on their brilliant candles.

Verdant is Inspired by the idea of a sci-fi JG Ballardian skyscraper completely engulfed by snaking and writhing foliage surrounded by “dewy mists”.  This a is wildly brilliant green scent (made of neroli, cactus accord and timut pepper) underscored by a compelling musk-like “concrete accord” of violet leaf, tomato leaf and white flowers.

Bulgari – Pour Homme Eau de Parfum

£114 for 100ml – Available here

This year, Bulgari has launched an eau de parfum version of its classic eau de toilette, the eponymous Pour Homme. It’s composed by same master perfumer, Jacques Cavallier, who created the original back in 1996.

Pour Homme Eau de Parfum beautifully riffs on the original’s tea and musk profile, while intensifying and enlivening it by layering and adding shimmering new notes of a sparkling ginger and deeper, more smoky, woody tea notes of Darjeeling tea accord, Ceylon tea extract, guaiac wood essence and musk

A welcome contemporary update of a classic.

Penhaligon’s – ALUla

£215 for 100ml – Available here

From the brand’s Trade Routes collection and composed by master perfumer Fanny Bal, who was inspired by the Incense Road, the latest from Penhaligon’s AlUla evokes a treasure-carrying procession travelling miles and miles, by foot and camel, across the desert, under the sheltering sky to find a sanctuary in the oasis.

ALUla contains sparkling plum, spices notes (turmeric and cardamom) and soft vanilla. In the base, patchouli and olibanum are combined to give a spice-green base.

Initio Parfums Prives – Narcotic Delight

£245 for 90ml – Available here

The hedonists at Initio Parfums Prives have dropped the fifth in their Carnal Blends collection – Narcotic Delight. The intoxicating and playful Narcotic Delight is very juicy. It’s a more-ish blend of vanilla bean, pink peppercorn, cherry and even hedione, a molecule that apparently “opens the pleasure receptors in the brain and promotes attraction”. It has cognac, tobacco in the base.

The sensual Narcotic Delight doesn’t take itself too seriously and will leave you wanting more.

Memo Paris – Cappadocia

£235 for 75ml – Available here

Memo Paris, the cult and covetable perfume house known for its fabulous leather scents, launched Cappadocia earlier this year. It is inspired by the same-named Turkish city, Cappadocia, famed for its hot air balloons and distinctive landscape of volcanic rock formed into towers. Spicy and woody, the intriguing Cappadocia is rich with saffron, myrrh, sandalwood and Turkish rose.
