Kayali Musk 12<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n

Seven years. That\u2019s how long Kayali<\/strong> fans have been waiting for Musk 12<\/strong> to come back\u2014and judging by the euphoric online comments since it arrived last week, it was absolutely worth the wait. Musk 12 was one of the first fragrances to nail the \u2018skin scent\u2019 vibe way before it became the thing everyone wanted (shout outs to Glossier You and the originator, Escentric Molecules 01). This musk is blended with soft white florals, vanilla, and sandalwood, creating this cozy, powdery and more-ish fragrance. It\u2019s designed for layering\u2014spray it first, and it extends the longevity of whatever you spritz on top. Or, let it shine solo as a delectable skin scent. However you wear it, it’s the kind of fragrance that makes people wonder if you just naturally smell this good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Notes: Lotus Flower, Freesia
Middle Notes: Sheer Jasmine, Musk
Base Notes: Vanilla Orchid, Sandalwood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phlur Cherry Stem<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n

While I love to think Phlur<\/strong>\u2019s new fragrance Cherry Stem<\/strong> is named for the infamous \u2018cherry stem\u2019 party trick, I’ve yet to uncover the receipts\u2014but will run with it until proven otherwise. This cherry leans dark, boozy and lacquered, with black cherry and orange brandy entwined at the top. Red freesia, jasmine, and succulent plum nectar create a vibrant heart, all wrapped up in an edgy leather and soft caramel dry down. Rich like a merlot, tart rather than sweet. Juicy fruit, but make it femme fatale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Notes: Black Cherry, Orange Brandy
Middle Notes: Red Freesia, Sugared Jasmine, Plum Nectar
Base Notes: Ebony Woods, Warm Caramel, Soft Leather Accord<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mind Games Queening<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n

\"Mind<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Call it a hunch, but could it be the orris and the whipped vanilla in Mind Games Queening<\/strong> that keeps people hungrily searching for it, four months after its launch? Or maybe it\u2019s the fact it\u2019s light and clean while also being complex and a little intoxicating. Clean cotton, woodsy cypress, and sweet apple open. Iris, rum, and saffron bring a boozy, spicy heart. Then whipped vanilla bean, musk, and coconut settle in for the creamy, fluffy, cloud-like close. And the people? The people can\u2019t get enough of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Notes: Clean Cotton Accord, Cypress, Apple
Middle Notes: Orris, Rum, Saffron
Base Notes: Whipped Vanilla Bean, Fluffy Musk, Coconut<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skylar<\/a> Double Dates<\/h2>\n\n\n

A date night fragrance so good, they had to name it Double Dates<\/strong>. And it literally smells good enough to devour. Sweet dates, sticky toffee, brown sugar, and cacao butter come together in one ridiculously cozy, gooey gourmand dream. No wonder it’s trending everywhere. On that note: this is Leah<\/strong>‘s first release as Skylar<\/strong>‘s new Chief Creative Officer, and she\u2019s no stranger to going viral. The Love Island USA star previously caused Lush’s Sticky Dates shower gel to sell out<\/a> after one mention, so clearly she’s an expert on dates\u2014the ones you eat, the ones you wear, and the ones you don’t want to end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Notes: Cinnamon, Sweet Dates, Walnut Delight
Middle Notes: Benzoin, Sticky Toffee, Vanilla Absolute
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Brown Sugar, Cocoa Butter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
