Comme des Garçons Parfum, Maison Margiela, Byredo, Heely, 19-69
Whether you’re treating yourself or a loved one, giving the gift of an elevated fragrance is the perfect gift. The importance of an authentic scent boosts your confidence and mood, along with adding further context and depth to your overall attire and appearance. A signature scent represents something as complex as a person’s character and contributes to someone’s statement of individuality to the world. Take a further look at our curated collection of elevated fragrance labels and their offerings, and discover your new signature scent.
French fashion label Comme des Garçons first launched their original eau de parfum in 1994. The intent was to introduce individualistic, clean, and wearable fragrances for both men and women. The Comme des Garçons founder Rei Kawakubo believes that weird can be beautiful and triumph and incorporates this belief in the brand’s fragrance offerings. The Comme des Garçons PLAY Red Eau de Toilette provides an authentic scent with a unique bottle that features the brand’s signature bug-eyed red heart motif placed proudly at the front. The smell evokes notes of solid cherry and is comparable to cinnamon candy with a softened aesthetic. Additional notes include geranium, myrrh, and balsam of tolu.
Founded in 2006 by English perfumist James Heely, Heely fragrances are made from rare ingredients with the finest quality. The brand breaks traditional rules by combining elements that wouldn’t typically go together. Heely embodies sharp, clean, and intelligent aesthetics and produces contemporary and unique scents suitable for all genders. One of their most iconic fragrances, the Heely Coccobello, is comparable to a paradise aesthetic. The smell evokes notes of morning dew and tropics. The aroma features green and woody aromas, while additional notes feature palm leaves, coconut, and gardenia. This clean scent ties together any elevated aesthetic. For a more rendered approach to modern luxury fragrances, Byredo first made its debut in 2006 by creator and founder Beh Horam. Horam always had a passion for art and aspired to show his creativity through fragrances. His unique outlook translates to his perfumes, as the specialized range of fragrances applies to all genders and incorporates timeless and meaningful sensations. The Mojave Ghost Eau de Parfum is inspired by the Mojave Desert’s rare Ghost Flower, which exists in these harsh conditions and develops with almost no water. The miracle flower is both rare and beautiful. This aesthetic is directly translated into the perfume, which incorporates violet, magnolia, amber, and cedarwood notes that contribute to the soft and musky aroma.
Iconic fashion house Maison Margiela’s fragrance line REPLICA embodies the brand’s commitment to fusing masculine and feminine aesthetics in an authentic offering. Each fragrance from the REPLICA line is incorporated in bottles that nod to apothecary jars with cotton labels. Each fragrance has been created to evoke familiar scents and moments in different time periods and locations. Maison Margiela’s REPLICA Lazy Sunday Morning Eau de Toilette evokes an aroma comparable to bed linen while featuring notes of white musk and lily. The comfortable aesthetic incorporates additional notes of rose petals and iris. REPLICA’s Under the Lemon Trees Eau de Toilette replicated a field of lemon trees in Palermo in 1987 by evoking an aroma of sharp lemon and notes of citrus. Additional bold and notable attributes include hints of cedar and white musk.
Sweden-based fragrance brand 19-69 began with artist and product developer Johan Bergelin and was inspired by a two-year-long creative process with scent artisans in Scandinavia, France, and Italy. The brand first launched in 2017 and represented the 1969 era of freedom and counterculture. 19-69 pushes boundaries in the fragrance world with its unisex scents inspired by different periods, cultures, and settings. The Palm Angels x 19-69 Orange Kush Eau de Parfum is dedicated to the origins of skateboarding and evokes pleasant notes that are unexpected, fizzy, fresh, and orange. The perfect scent to complete any look, additional fragrance notes that make a statement include orange, hemp, and tangerine blossom.
