From bold reinterpretations of heritage favourites to intriguing newcomers from niche houses, these are the standout fragrance launches worth picking up before the year ends.

This year has been an eventful one in the olfactory department. While Summer brings out the fresh and fruity vibes, Fall and Winter tends to bring out the deeper, more rich creations from brands. Though this year, why not have a bit of both. More than ever this year, we see brands reiterating and reinterpreting their classics, giving them a fresh new outfit, either dressing them up or down for a familiar yet completely different experience.&nbsp;
Beyond that, we would also like to bring your attention to some new offerings from <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/beauty/exclusive-interview-maison-francis-kurkdjian-childhood-memories-playful-new-niche-fragrance-kurky-beauty" title="Exclusive! Maison Francis Kurkdjian Speaks On His Playful New Fragrance, 'Kurky'" target="_blank" rel="noopener">niche fragrance</a> labels that got in the mood for the final part of 2025. These scents go beyond the usual warm, sweet, pumpkin spice-coded Fall fragrance profiles and offer the same deep yet cosy and warm feel that the later seasons bring, without feeling cloying, overbearing or predictable.&nbsp;

Dior Beauty

There&rsquo;s something endlessly fascinating about Dior&rsquo;s ability to reinvent Miss Dior without losing its soul. Miss Dior Essence captures that magic again &mdash; a scent that feels classic but alive with modern energy. Created by Francis Kurkdjian, this version is more grounded, more assured. The jammy blackberry and elderflower opening feels plush and slightly addictive, while jasmine sambac blooms beautifully at the heart. It adds a juicy and feminine gourmand touch to the scent. The oak wood base adds an ambery warmth that lingers like a silk scarf.
The packaging deserves its own applause: a frosted houndstooth bottle, black dagger bow, and precious glass cap &mdash; couture through and through. It&rsquo;s the kind of perfume that makes you feel put-together even on a day when you&rsquo;re not.

Chlo&eacute;

Chlo&eacute;&rsquo;s latest creation is its most confident yet. Le Parfum celebrates femininity that&rsquo;s intuitive, modern and effortlessly chic. The bottle glows with amber juice, gold lacquer, and a burgundy ribbon &mdash; details inspired by the brand&rsquo;s ready-to-wear atelier.
Perfumer Romain Almairac builds a radiant composition where orange blossom meets fresh rose, enveloped in tonka bean and vanilla for a sensual, lasting warmth. The result: a sunny, sophisticated rose that feels timeless but never old-fashioned. She is a mysterious yet introspective, chic older sister to the classic Chlo&eacute; we know and love.&nbsp;

Tom Ford Beauty

While Oud Wood has solidified its name in the hall of fame when it comes to iconic fragrances, Tom Ford has released a new addition to their Oud line in their Private Blend series called Oud Voyager that is a strong contender and quickly rising to be an instant classic in our books. I&rsquo;ll be honest &mdash; I&rsquo;m not always a huge fan of heavy oud and rose combinations. They can easily veer too rich or suffocating. But Oud Voyager surprised me. It&rsquo;s bold and indulgent, yet somehow wearable and modern.
The magic lies in its exclusive Floral Oud Tri-Distillate, a bespoke blend of geranium and Living Red Peony&trade; accord that gives the oud a stunning lift. The peony, in particular, brings a fresh, slightly juicy quality that cuts through the darkness of the wood. The result? A scent that feels dressed up without trying too hard. Hence, it works just as well for a crisp daytime outing as it does for a night event. It&rsquo;s one of those rare ouds that doesn&rsquo;t demand attention but still gets it.

L&rsquo;Artisan Parfumeur

I&rsquo;ve always had a soft spot for the original Histoire d&rsquo;Orangers &mdash; it&rsquo;s the kind of fragrance that feels clean, elegant, and easy to love. The new Extr&ecirc;me version, though, adds layers of intrigue that make it perfect for cooler months.
It deepens that familiar orange blossom freshness with pink peppercorn and cedarwood, giving the scent more structure and warmth. The orange blossom feels fuller, more radiant, and yet it never loses that air of breezy simplicity that made the original so good. It&rsquo;s also completely unisex, and I&rsquo;d say it&rsquo;s the perfect transitional fragrance. Especially if you&rsquo;re somewhere warm but still want that autumnal mood, without going for that stereotypical sweet, gourmand or spicy route.&nbsp;

BDK Parfums

IMPADIA from BDK Parfums is pure fun &mdash; but make no mistake, it&rsquo;s still incredibly well-composed. It&rsquo;s inspired by the Parisian sky at twilight, and you can feel that duality &mdash; bright and flirtatious at first, deep and sensual as it settles.
The pink and coral flacon perfectly matches the juice inside: rose absolute, mandarin, and bergamot at the top, melting into a base of black vanilla, akigala wood, and sandalwood. There&rsquo;s sweetness here, but also a sophistication that keeps it grown-up. It&rsquo;s one of those fragrances that works across seasons &mdash; summer date nights, early autumn evenings, even winter gatherings. The projection is gorgeous too; it has that &ldquo;did someone smell amazing just walk past?&rdquo; effect.
