Narcisco Rodriguez for Her in Color

Narcisco Rodriguez for Her in Color

Narcisco Rodriguez's sultry For Her perfume is a new classic whose musky floral notes add "oomph" to any scent wardrobe. The newly released For Her in Color retains what's best about the original and adds even more aromatic vibrancy with a mix of patchouli, peach pulp, vanilla, and rose. Its packaging is bold to match—a radiant magenta bottle only available for a limited time.

Henrik Vibskov Type B, C, and D Perfumes

Henrik Vibskov Type B, C, and D Perfumes

Notably absent from Danish designer Henrik Vibskov's new line of fragrances is a Type A perfume. While you won't find Eau de Perfectionist in the trio of scents, unique notes such as pink pepper, orange flower, mandarin, and black pepper are conspicuously present. And, actually, the letters refer to cities from which Vibskov drew inspiration for the perfumes: Berlin, Copenhagen, and Damascus, respectively. It's Type C our overseas editor will be sporting this fall, having had the recent pleasure of shopping Vibskov's impressive, avant garde Copenhagen boutique and fallen hard for his signature collection.

Honoré des Prés Organic Perfumes

Honoré des Prés Organic Perfumes

French line Honoré des Prés uses only 100-percent natural, botanical ingredients to create their collection of sensual fragrances, which includes a flirty, coconut milk-based scent and vampy tuberose and rum Eau de Parfum. Melding Parisian sophistication with New York's urban edge, the perfumes are intoxicating but not overwhelming—statement-making without being too heady. Clever coffee cup and mason jar packaging make them a pretty, quirky addition to your vanity. Shop a selection of the fragrances via the Detox Market.

Hussein Chalayan Airborne Fragrance

Hussein Chalayan Airborne Fragrance

Fragrances are extremely personal, evoking an individual's taste, history and identity all at once. For designer Hussein Chalayan, the process of making his first perfume was a passion project that led him on a journey through his past. Using flowers from his native Cyprus as a point of departure, Chalayan concocted a scent that is an exotic mix of bergamot, lentiscus, juniper berry, incense, musk and cedarwood. The final product was made in collaboration with Comme des Garçons, and can be worn by both sexes. Airborne is available in Comme des Garçons boutiques now.

Blue Lizard Sorbolene Cream

Blue Lizard Sorbolene Cream

Years of experience trying and testing every beauty product imaginable has taught us that overly scented, preservative rich concoctions usually amount to junk. Those $100 body creams that claim to restore youthful lustre often don't live up to their pricey promise, even if a certified "doctor" raves about its restorative effects.

Blue Lizard's Pure Australian Sorbolene Cream comes at a cheap and cheerful price—a mere $9.99—and isn't superficially enhanced with coloring, perfumes, or thickeners. What you do get is pure moisture, the kind that beach bums depend on to soothe their skin post-burn or after an afternoon spent in the surf. This is simple, straightforward beauty at its best.
