9 New Fragrances That’ll Replace Your Signature Scent

It's not strangely uncommon for your friend to admit she has eight lipsticks sitting on the bottom of her handbag, and then a good 24 more at home in her makeup drawer. But for someone to reveal they have 32 fragrances bottles living atop her dresser? Yeah, that's not something you hear every day.

Fragrance prices don't lend themselves well to regular impulse buys, plus the fact that it simply isn't something most need to buy in excess. They have their signature scent and they wear it forever, or until the bottle runs dry after years of spritzing. But, 2019 is a shaping up to be quite a different story.

Brands are upping their chemistry game, concocting scent compilations with pleasing and inventive floral, citrus, and earthy notes that give your go-to classics (even Chanel N°5) some serious competition.

No matter if you actually need to restock or just want to experiment with a new aroma, we rounded up nine of the best new fragrances to indulge in now.

let's be honest: floral fragrances aren't anything new. However, designer brands are jumping at the chance to redefine what they smell like. Take Amo, for example. Ferragamo's latest scent combines several floral notes, like pink peony and jasmine, with fruity plum, musky woods, and warm, comforting vanilla. And to that I say, I love you.

If the term "winter floral" simply conjures up images of poinsettias, you haven't smelled Krigler's newest scent, 217, yet. Thanks to cardamom and amber, the fragrance holds a subtle spice and warmth to it, while violet and jasmine make it appealing for those that don't want another rose perfume on their top shelves.

For the latest rendition of Gucci Guilty, the designer brand broke free of the limiting and antiquated act of only using labeled "female notes." In addition to pink pepper and lilac, this classic scent was updated with geranium accord, an fresh ingredient that the brand claims is usually found in men's fragrances but rounds out this warm floral beautifully.

There are plenty of scents that claim to smell like a villa surrounded by lemon orchards, but most of the time, they end up smelling like cleaning supplies. Maison Margiela's latest scent broke the mold, though. With the addition of herbal coriander and musk, the citrus-centered bottle releases a much more realistic, appealing, and soft fragrance.
