Have you noticed how many haute perfumery collections have been launched this year?
Leading perfume and fashion brands have stepped up their luxury standards, seducing us with qualitative offerings of great creative heights. Because if we're going to enjoy perfume, let's do it in style. Here's a look at some of the most standout fragrance collections launched in 2024.
Infiniment Coty Paris
Innovation, creativity and ecological awareness come together in the rebirth of Coty, 120 years after its debut in perfumery. Under the leadership of Coty CEO Sue Y. Nabi and Nicolas Vu, co-founder of skincare brand Orveda, the legacy of François Coty is reimagined with a vision for the future of fragrance.
Infiniment Coty Paris brings the codes of haute perfumery into the modern age. Combining technology and creativity, the fragrances feature an innovative, patent-pending molecule (Molecular Aura) that ensures the scent lasts up to 30 hours after vaporisation. Fourteen fragrances, crafted by master perfumers from dsm-firmenich, Symrise, and IFF, showcase this blend of science and artistry. Sustainability is a core focus, from a new method of producing sustainable ethanol from carbon emissions to eco-conscious packaging that minimizes waste and allows for bottle reuse.
Balmain Les Éternels
Balmain's first-ever perfume collection revives the brand's spirit under Olivier Rousteing's creative direction. The collection includes eight exquisite unisex eaux de parfum.
Drawing from Balmain's archives, Rousteing reimagines four historic Balmain fragrances – Carbone, Ivoire, Vent Vert, and Ébène – creating a foundation for the collection. New additions, such as Sel d'Ambre, Bronze, Rouge, and Bleu Infini, bring a bold, modern approach to luxury perfumery. These fragrances boast exclusive ingredients and respect for nature, celebrating diversity and inclusion.

Valentino Anatomy of Dreams
Seven olfactory dreams materialize into unique perfumes inspired by a Roman Palazzo.

La Collection Rabanne
Rabanne enters the world of luxury perfumery with its first high-end fragrance line, paying tribute to its avant-garde legacy in fashion.
The futuristic metallic aesthetic of Rabanne's runway designs is mirrored in the collection's bottles, which house six unisex creations crafted by top perfumers: Night Soul (Aurélien Guichard), After Club (Aurélien Guichard), Armure Mara (Aliénor Massenet), Mesh Metal (Fanny Bal), Midnight Sex (Véronique Nyberg), Oud Montaigne (Fabrice Pellegrin), Silver Skin (Fabrice Pellegrin), and Rose (Christophe Raynaud).
La Collection Privée Esprit de Parfum, Dior
Dior's latest haute perfumery collection, created by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, features five exclusive fragrances. "Creating Esprit de Parfum was an opportunity for me to pay homage to the iconic scents of La Collection Privée. For each fragrance, I've redefined the architecture of each composition with purity and radicality," Kurkdjian explains.
Each olfactory composition pushes the boundaries of raw materials with the boldness required by modern times.

Fendi Fragrance Collection
Fendi invites us on a journey through perfume – from a leather atelier in Istanbul to the Ourika Valley on the outskirts of Marrakech, and finally to the Eternal City, Rome.
In celebration of Fendi's centenary in 2025, artistic directors Kim Jones, Silvia Venturini Fendi, and Delfina Delettrez Fendi have crafted a high-concentration fragrance collection inspired by the olfactory stories of the Fendi family.
Lancôme Absolue Les Parfums
A symbol of the maison, Lancôme celebrates the rose, the queen of perfumery, in a collection of 11 fragrances that explore unique facets of this iconic flower.
Beyond highlighting the centifolia rose of Grasse, cultivated with the brand's involvement as a measure to protect the species, Lancôme innovates by incorporating two new patented rose extracts.
Louis Vuitton Extrait de Parfum Collection
The creative genius of perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, combined with architect Frank Gehry, gives rise to a collection of five fragrances that reinvents the concept of extrait de parfum for Louis Vuitton.
Each perfume encapsulates an emblematic olfactory family with a 30% concentration, making it a true luxury for the senses.
Gehry reflects the flowing movement of a flower in the sculptural cap that crowns the bottles, while the compositions showcase the expressive essence of each ingredient.
Amouage Essences
Reasons, Lustre, and Outlands are three 30% concentration fragrances aged in artisanal oak barrels for six months. The Essences, Amouage's most special launch of 2024, challenges the limits of perfumery.
These three perfumes result from a double infusion with sandalwood shavings, adding a distinctive touch to each composition, along with the woody note from the oak barrels used during maturation.
Bottega Veneta: Colpo di Sole, Come with Me, Déjà Minuit, Alchemie, and Acqua Sale
The fashion house Bottega Veneta has unveiled a collection of five fragrances, its first under the leadership of creative director, Matthieu Blazy. Inspired by the iconic city of Venice and the brand's intrecciato pattern, the five fragrances – Colpo di Sole, Acqua Sale, Come with Me, Déjà Minuit, and Alchemie – are as enveloping as a second skin, embodying the brand's artisanal and sensory identity.
