Tester feedback: “Phlur’s Vanilla Skin is nearly good enough to eat,” says social director Kassidy Silva. “The creamy blend of vanilla, pink pepper, and sandalwood notes make this fragrance truly delectable and a staple to wear throughout the winter season.”
Key notes: vanilla, pink pepper, pink apple, lily, jasmine petals, cashmere wood | Size: 8 oz
Best Cannabis: House of Bo Oro Verde Parfum
Why it’s worth it: Cannabis gets a bad reputation for being, err, pungent, but House of Bo’s Oro Verde Parfum is here to change your perception on the controversial note. The brand softens the usually overpowering note by contrasting it with sweet, fruity notes of bergamot and watermelon. To balance these sweet notes with cannabis, herbaceous basil, earthy tree moss, and warm palo santo are also thrown into the mix.
Tester feedback: “It’s rare for me to be truly wowed by a fragrance (sure, plenty smell amazing…but also like one other) which is why this perfume immediately popped into my head when I was asked to pick a favorite [2024 launch],” says site director Kara McGrath. “This bright, juicy scent—bergamot, watermelon, and cannabis are the primary notes—has gotten me more compliments than any other fragrance I’ve worn this year.”
Key notes: cannabis, bergamot, watermelon, basil, vetiver, synthetic ambergris, palo santo, tree moss | Size: 1.4 oz, 2.5 oz
Best Woodsy: Byredo Mojave Ghost Eau de Parfum
Why it’s worth it: Byredo Mojave Ghost Eau de Parfum is another staple in our editors’ perfume collections. This modern classic is known for its woody notes inspired by the Mojave Desert, so expect wafts of musk, ambrette, cedarwood, and a touch of powdery violet. Heads up: This is a pretty powerful scent, so make sure to spray lightly.
Tester feedback: “This floral-woodsy scent has pretty quickly become my go-to,” says senior art director Ingrid Fowler. “It’s got a little bit of everything: mild sweet notes that balance the earthiness—as one might imagine a desert-inspired fragrance to be, and the beautiful, classic Byredo bottle also doesn’t hurt.”
Key notes: musk, ambrette, violet, cedarwood, sandalwood | Size: 1.7 oz, 3.4 oz
Best Layerable: Liis Choux Choux Eau de Parfum
Why it’s worth it: Though Liis’s Choux Choux Eau de Parfum is undeniably gourmand, its light, palatable scent makes for the perfect pairing with your spicier, more intense fragrances. This dessert-inspired fragrance whips up the works: fresh cream, cocoa, vanilla beans, mocha, and fleur de sel caramel (a yummy caramel-based confection). But don’t expect this hyper-sweet combination to feel cloying, because its sugariness is cut down with hints of warm, soft sandalwood.
