October brings a wave of high-voltage perfumes: intense extraits, new facets of oud, grown-up gourmand indulgences, and concentrated, enveloping compositions with powerful sillage.
With Black Friday on the horizon, the season of gifts and wish lists officially begins.
Fugazzi Vanilla Haze Extrait – adult sweetness
Deeper, darker, and bolder than the original, Vanilla Haze Extrait is a nocturnal, enveloping fragrance that leaves a halo of mystery with its creamy, irresistible texture.

Charlotte Tilbury Star Confidence – boosting your confidence
Charlotte Tilbury expands her fragrance collection with a warm floral scent designed to enhance your magnetic power.
This new fragrance is an explosion of bold notes: the freshness of blackcurrant extract combines with jasmine sambac and oakmoss absolute for an aura that inspires self-assurance.
Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Passion Oud and Velvet Honey Santal – seductive dimension
Two new creations from the Velvet line explore the richness of oud and golden honey.
- Velvet Honey Santal by Aurélien Guichard: a sunny glow of Sicilian honey, creamy sandalwood, and balsamic amber on a base of benzoin, for a radiant and enveloping trail.
- Velvet Passion Oud by Paul Guerlain: passion fruit, a warm narguile accord, saffron, and rose, resting on a base of rockrose (labdanum) and natural oud – a tribute to Sicily's Arabian heritage.
Kayali Oudgasm Milky Musk Oud and Oudgasm Chocolate Oud – new facets of oud
The Oudgasm collection expands with two contrasting interpretations that reveal the many faces of oud in unexpected ways:
- Chocolate Oud: a warm, addictive accord built around rich cocoa base notes.
- Milky Musk Oud: a more delicate and sensual take on oud, with creamy, musky nuances that create a soft "second skin" warmth.
"I wanted to show the full spectrum of oud: its ability to be wild and warm, sweet and seductive, comforting and captivating," explains Mona Kattan, founder of Kayali.
Elie Saab Le Parfum Absolu – the warmth of amber
A solar amber accord redefines this Elie Saab classic, evoking a golden sunset.
Benzoin, amber and vanilla add depth, while olive wood lends a balsamic nuance. In the base, musk caresses the skin as white flowers intensify the warm, sunlit trail.
Byredo Bois Obscur – mysteries of the night
Ten years later, Byredo's Night Veils line returns with higher concentrations and a more intimate interpretation of the night.
Saffron, eucalyptus, and smoky papyrus mingle with narcotic flowers (tuberose, jasmine) and a touch of oud. In the base, mineral amber, patchouli, labdanum, and sandalwood add density and a restrained warmth that lingers on the skin like a sacred trail.
