YSL Beauty presents MYSLF L’Absolu, an intensified interpretation of the house’s woody-floral signature. Composed by perfumers Daniela Andrier, Christophe Raynaud and Antoine Maisondieu, the fragrance opens with ginger, cardamom and vert de bergamot, followed by a heart of orange blossom. Patchouli, amber woods and resinous notes shape the base, adding depth and texture. The scent is designed to be genderless with a subtle masculine edge, housed in a mirrored bottle with a clean, monolithic form. Global ambassador Austin Butler is joined by actor Drew Starkey as the U.S. Voice of L’Absolu, highlighting the fragrance’s focus on individuality and self-expression.

Jimmy Choo Image

Jimmy Choo Man Extreme extends the brand’s masculine fragrance line with a bolder profile. This fougère composition opens with red thyme and black pepper, moving into a heart of geranium and clary sage. The base combines amber woods, tonka bean and vetiver for a lasting finish. Created by perfumers Anne Flipo and Tanguy Guesnet, the fragrance is packaged in a scarlet-lacquered bottle with a red leather-effect cap.

Oud Voyager, part of Tom Ford’s Private Blend collection, is presented in a jewel-toned purple flacon. The fragrance opens with citrus, pink pepper and geranium absolute, leading into a heart of cardamom, saffron and a red peony accord captured through headspace technology. Oud, patchouli, vetiver, nagarmotha and musk form the base, providing a balanced structure without excessive weight. The result is a contemporary interpretation of oud that emphasizes floral and spicy dimensions while maintaining refinement.
