What’s New In The Fragrance World This Month
New Launches
Creed Delphinus
For those looking to move from fresh and fruity summer scents into something deeper, Creed’s latest launch has you covered. A fusion of citrus top notes, balanced by a heart of aromatic spices like pink and black pepper, and with a base of warm, woody undertones, this elegant scent is perfect for those who like something smoky.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM
We’re big fans of MFK’s bold scents. This one – which landed on the Harvey Nichols site earlier this week – features a blend of floral, ambery, and aromatic notes. A compliment-inducing scent, the name is short for ‘A Part Of Me’ – the idea being you leave behind a piece of yourself with the fragrance trail.
LOEWE Earth Elixir
A bold and modern evolution of the original LOEWE Earth EDP, this variation features a more intense concentration of essential oils. Floral, ambery and musky, it includes notes of truffle, pear and oud, complemented by mimosa and violet for a perfectly balanced autumn/winter scent. Anchored by the distinctive LOEWE Accord, which highlights the complex, resinous aroma of the Spanish Rockrose wildflower, it’s a new signature for the brand.
Kilian Old Fashioned
The latest fragrance from The Liquors collection by Kilian Hennessy is inspired by the timeless appeal of aged whisky. Unsurprisingly, it features rich whisky accords reminiscent of an 18-year-old single malt, evoking the atmosphere of a Scottish Highlands estate. Fans of the brand’s discontinued Single Malt scent will love this.

Ex Nihilo
This Parisian fragrance house is known for its avant-garde approach, merging classic French craftsmanship with modern innovation. That's why fashion insiders, creatives and tastemakers all gravitate towards Ex Nihilo – its fragrances feel both personal and distinctive.

Matière Premiere
Our editor Charlotte, along with beauty insiders and A-listers like Emma Watson and Alexa Chung, raves about this Paris brand. The brainchild of master perfumer Aurélien Guichard, it’s all about ingredient-focused blends that showcase the beauty of raw materials meticulously crafted into fragrances that are both strikingly modern and deeply personal. Crowd favourites include Parisian Musc and Bois d'Ébène, while newbie Falcon Leather Extrait is perfect for the season ahead.
Hero Notes
With the amber fragrance family proving popular as we move into autumn/winter, we asked Harvey Nichols’ fragrance buyer to tell us more…
Goldfield & Banks
This Aussie fragrance house is another celeb favourite – Cate Blanchett and Margot Robbie love it. Known for lush, evocative scents like Pacific Rock Moss and Southern Bloom, the brand celebrates the unique native botanicals of Australia. Our favourite, Mystic Bliss, plays with sweet notes of fig fruit and cassis, balancing them with the aromatics of cardamon, claret sage and cedar.
