Five new perfumes have joined my collection, and they could not be more different from one another.

If your taste in perfume leans classic, these are seven worth knowing from my collection.

Green florals are one of my great perfume weaknesses, and Fleuriste was the fragrance I kept returning to after testing Fleurit’s discovery set. Now the full bottle is here, and I love it even more.

Why does a perfume you have worn for years suddenly smell different? Sometimes it is a creative or commercial decision. Other times, the materials at the center of its formula can no longer be used in the same quantities.

Fall became my favorite season after I moved to the East Coast. I love watching the leaves change, the first crispness in the air and that brief stretch when it is cool enough to layer clothes but still warm enough to enjoy being outside. The clothes become more interesting, and so do the perfumes.

Before you assume niche means better, look at what designer fragrance is releasing right now.

Meo Fusciuni has a new perfume, and I am dying to smell it. Amara Vita turns the end of a love affair into a cacao gourmand, with chocolate cake serving as comfort while heartbreak slowly becomes memory. Cacao absolute moves between bitter and sweet alongside coffee, raspberry, blood orange, iris, sandalwood, vanilla and tonka, grounded by benzoin, patchouli, vetiver, leather, oud, musk and amber.

This may be one of the most interesting perfume stories of 2026.

I use AI, and I have no embarrassment about saying so. I was an early adopter, and I think it can be enormously useful for research, emails, reports, organization and the countless routine tasks that take up our time.
