New Guerlain Aqua Allegoria 2020 · Orange Soleia & Granada Salvia
New for 2020, Guerlain has recently expanded the Aqua Allegoria fragrance story with Orange Soleia and Granada Salvia – both fresh & lovely scents to help offset the sultry summer heat. The range was born in 1999 and each year gets added to by master perfumer Thierry Wasser, who always manages to create playful and unexpected fusions with each fragrance that feature one key note.

Givenchy’s Couture Edition 2020 Collection takes three of the brand’s iconic products (L’Interdit, Le Rouge, Prisme Libre), and reinvents them with an intricate new lace pattern.

Obviously, this brand has my number.

Mugler · Angel EDT, Aura Sensuelle & Alien Fusion, New for 2019
I have loved Mugler’s Angel since the day it launched in 1992 and while I may not reach for it as often anymore (more due to the sheer volume of choices I own), it will always hold a special place in my heart. The latest fragrance releases from this brand are updates on 3 of their best selling franchises: Angel, Aura, and Alien — and regardless of your scent preferences, there’s no denying that all are absolutely display-worthy.
