Fragrance trends highlight almond notes and celebrity favorites

The fragrance industry continues to see diverse trends, ranging from the popularity of almond-based notes to celebrity-endorsed scents. Almond is noted for its versatility, appearing in various forms such as creamy almond milk, warm nutty tones, or bitter almond. Specific examples include L'Occitane Amande Crème Brûlée, which offers a gourmand profile with vanilla and praline, and ānti Kleopatra, which blends almond milk with spices like black pepper and cinnamon. Xerjoff Casamorati Italica also features almond as a primary note alongside saffron.

In celebrity beauty trends, Hailey Bieber has identified Ex Nihilo's Fleur Narcotique as a long-standing favorite in her collection. Created by perfumer Quentin Bisch, the scent features top notes of bergamot, lychee, and peach, transitioning into a heart of orange blossom and jasmine, and settling into a base of musk, woody notes, and green moss. The fragrance is noted for its balance, avoiding excessive sweetness while maintaining an elegant floral-fruity profile.
