If You Like Walks in the Woods

The brand broke the mould with its first fragrance, Glossier You, a base note-forward blend (think floral but woody iris and warm ambrette seeds) that smells different on everyone. And now, Glossier has two new skin-enhancing scents, including You Doux, which shares ambrette and ambrox notes with the OG aroma but rounds out its woody feel with palo santo, frankincense and myrrh.

If You Like Piling on the Bling

The bottle is inspired by jewelry, but the fragrance itself — which combines notes of bergamot, pear, rosemary and violet with musk and a touch of moss — has that kind of expensive vibe we only otherwise get from stacking several necklaces.

If You Like Booking a Beach Getaway

The "it' girl fashion brand Cult Gaia debuted a fragrance collection this year and this one, inspired by the Farsi word for light, Noor, is a standout. The scent aims to capture "the essence of the sun" (the very feeling we're chasing this coming winter) and achieves that bright, practically sparkling vibe, with notes of black pepper, Haitian vetiver, spicy geranium and grounding incense and a hint of French rose.

If You Like Slicing Into a French King Cake

Coty is the company behind some of the most popular aromas of all time. So, what better way to mark its 120th anniversary than by launching a fragrance collection of its own? The ultra-chic assortment consists of 14 tech-forward formulas that last up to 30 hours on the skin. Our favorite blends two vanilla notes for a sweet yet sophisticated scent that's as celebratory as they get.

If You Like Sweater Weather

Chloé's latest fragrance collection explores some of the extraordinary flowers whose aroma changes at a specific time of night. Among them, the white orchid, which takes center stage in this sophisticated mix that also has notes of rum, jasmine, patchouli and vanilla absolute. To sum it up: it's slightly sweet, slightly powdery and lays beautifully on skin like sumptuous cashmere.

If You Like Sipping Cocoa in Your Leather Coat

Most of the luxury fragrance brand's scents are inspired by N.Y.C., though a trio pays homage to Dubai. They range from "New Haarlem" (no, that's not a typo) to "Park Avenue" and now, Gold Street, a bold new aroma named after one of the most bustling streets in Manhattan's Financial District. As such, no expense was spared on the notes — which include cozy French leather and suede as well as delicious Madagascar vanilla and salted caramel fudge — or the opulent bottle.
