It’s time to step out with these latest fragrances and make new memories.

We’re set out to make new memories and adventures, and even though we aren’t able to travel to distant lands and foreign countries yet – surely we can still rely on fragrances to relive these escapades! We’ve rounded up 8 exciting fragrances that have recently launched, from dreamy florals and enigmatic scents, to surprising bouquets that allows us to take on another personality.
