Six brand new fragrance fantasies for sunny mornings and electric evenings.
The perfect spring scent need not be a blast of clean or a burst of budding flowers. To us, the contrasts of spring can feel surreal, even delightfully disorienting. This calls for a bit of fragrant fantasy.
Some of our new spring arrivals are kaleidoscopes of colour and optimism. They’re perfect rabbit holes to trip down while you greedily savour every extra minute of sun.
Other scents beckon from mysterious underworlds. Humming with spirited energy, they implore us to break out of our winter cocoons and find new pleasures among the shadows.
Whether they’re delightful or devious, these new arrivals are perfect for the warm mornings and crisp evenings of spring.
WARM MORNINGS
TUBEREUSE ASTRALE Maison Crivelli
A fruity tuberose constellation glimmers within a technicolour galaxy of soft osmanthus and weightless cinnamon leather. Surreal, playful and seriously complex.
LOVE DELIGHT Amouage
A warm afternoon daydream of warm cake, rosewater sweets and roasted nuts steaming in shafts of Omani sun. Transportive, decadent, and easy to love.
SPARKLING JO Vilhelm Parfumerie
A Gatsby-esque flight of fancy: quaffing vintage champagne and ginger highballs in an oak-panelled cabaret. Hedonism meets sophistication, as only Paris can provide.
CRISP EVENINGS
ASKR Jorum Studio
An unusually sophisticated apparition of plush ozone, cool smoke and inky moss, this unclassifiable cocktail projects an endless hypnotic glow.
BLACK MAGENTA D.S. & Durga
Airy-sweet pineapple hums a hot pink halo through an iris-tobacco haze, like neon in a dive bar window. The thrill of New York nightlife in a bottle.
BURROW Libertine Fragrance
Intrigue echoes through an old house etched with earthy spices, as new friends tell far-fetched tales long into the wood-sweet night. Strangely comforting.
From skincare and hair care to makeup and fragrance, let's delve into some of our team's current favourites, shall we?
In honour of Valentine’s Day, we asked some of our team members to share the Etiket products that captured their hearts! From skincare and hair care to makeup and fragrance, let’s delve into some of their current favourites, shall we?
I have never seen a product like this that refreshes hair without the heavy powdery feeling from usual dry shampoos. It adds volume and dimension back into my hair!
I have been loving Xerjoff’s Casamorati Dama Bianca layered with Escentric Molecules’ Molecule 01 + Black Tea. It has the perfect combination of sweet and fresh and is a recommendation I got from Emma, our fragrance specialist, to layer them! So gorgeous.
This Lip Karma keeps my lips hydrated and the taste is delectable, like my fave drink! I have also been loving Le Fard Blush, specifically in the shade Framboise by Wonderblush. It is long-lasting, and a little goes a long way.
This has been a game-changer in my routine! It has added so much plumpness to my skin and helped heal residual effects from a recent bout of atopic dermatitis.
Most mascaras make my eyes water or they do not lengthen and volumize my very sparse lashes. This mascara has fixed all of that and the wand gets every lash.
This product acts as a skincare product and as a corrector for both the complexion and dark circles. A tiny amount is enough to neutralize the colour of dark circles and facial imperfections.
When I was first introduced to Colorproof’s Biorepair collection, I was rather skeptical. After several months of use, I’m convinced of its effectiveness. The 3 products (and the brush) work in synergy to establish a healthy scalp and follicles, revealing thicker, fuller hair overtime.
ÉDOUARD Beauty & Fragrance Advisor / Etiket Montreal
I’ve been receiving so many compliments from this mix! Getting stopped everywhere for compliments. The perfect duo to make an impression on your Valentine!

We will be launching our exclusive Tata Harper Treatment room the week of March 11th, where you will be able to experience all of the Tata Harper treatments.
Scent is our most intimate sense. But even for the most romantic among us, a full bottle of perfume can be a big commitment. A cheeky gift of scented something still says you care, but lets your partner keep their signature rituals; independent but interconnected.
Here are some of our favourite sensual scented gifts.
MON AMOUR CANDLE Etiket
Originally conceived as a limited edition candle for Valentine’s Day, it quickly became a staff and client favourite. Moving beyond the obvious Hallmark images of roses or chocolate, it was formulated around a luscious gardenia accord, exuding a grown-up, refined sensuality. Touches of cherry and spice add an irreverent wink. Burn to turn up the heat.
BACCARAT ROUGE 540 SPARKLING BODY OIL Maison Francis Kurkdjian
For an extra-luxurious Valentine’s gesture, snap up one of the last few boxes of this recent holiday exclusive from Maison Francis Kurkdjian. The iconic scent of Baccarat Rouge is seductive enough, but the skin-loving oil format and addition of a subtle golden sparkle gives the scent an even more intimate feel.
LUCKY DAYS TRAVEL SIZE Libertine Fragrance
Sometimes scent doesn’t have to be complicated – it can just be joyful. Canadian cult perfumery Libertine conceived Lucky Days as easy-to-love and easy-to-wear; it’s a dose of love-drunk optimism you can spray on on wherever, whenever. An orange blossomperfume may sound feminine to some, but this would smell amazing on any gender.
CAROLINE’S FOUR HUNDRED ROOM SPRAY Arquiste
Floral notes are hard to capture, and perfume often falls short of the dazzling, natural scent of the real thing. But while flowers fade and start to clutter up the counter, this room spray offers near-endless bouquets. A dazzling distillation of real-life roses, this scent is bold, romantic, and beautifully botanical.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT BODY LOTION D.S. & Durga
This skin-enhancing perfume potion is almost always one of our number one gift recommendations. The minimalist formula is designed to boost any fragrance, including your partner’s favourite, but it also works to turn their natural scent into a perfume in its own right. The moisturizing formula is lovely to apply, and anchors any scented oil to the skin. It’s the perfect subtly romantic gesture.
We picked some of our sexiest fragrances, separated by classically masculine, feminine or unisex, that we think would fit each mode of seduction.
There are many paths to seduction – and sometimes, less is more. Other times, more is more. It all depends on whether you like to make a splash, share a wink, or let them come to you.

There's nothing like red to transform a simple look into a sophisticated one.
Red is the colour of the season. It’s featured everywhere: in beauty magazines as a pop of colour, or worn as part of an outfit to make a fashionable statement.
Although it was voted the “trending” colour of winter 2024 (it’s on every runway, and trends where red takes center stage continue to multiply all over social), the bold hue remains a classic for us. It has stood the test of time, and red will always be red. It’s both timeless and feminine, and let’s face it, there’s nothing like red to transform a simple look into a sophisticated one.
We use it judiciously, on our cheeks for a fresh complexion that looks naturally flushed from the cold; on our lips, in a translucent or completely opaque formula, depending on the desired effect; and on our nails, in a vibrant shade, for a classic, feminine look.
Do you love red? Have you embraced it, and if so, how do you like to wear it?
A sunny, effervescent red-pink that melts into the skin, creating a silky smooth, luminous finish. Using a powder blush brush, apply to the apples of cheeks, and build for a more dramatic flush.
Color Block High Impact Lipstick | Flame ILIA
A fire red with warm undertones offering a smooth, creamy finish that is long-wearing and truly hydrating. Provides full coverage in just one swipe.
Le Fard Blush | Framboise WONDERBLUSH
A super soft matte plum berry powder blush crafted to work with your skin to create a healthy glow.
Nail Polish – Montmartre LE ROUGE À ONGLES
A classic, cool-toned red nail polish made in France with the greatest care, using a vegan formula.
Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN
This extrait de parfum embodies the profusion and fusion of elements that can only be tamed by the art of the perfumer and the wisdom gained with time. Adding to the intensity of the extrait, the perfume bottle also plays with light. Its aesthetic dons a brilliant red robe reminiscent of Baccarat red.
Discover our most-loved fragrance launches of the past year.
In some ways, the world of fragrance continues to be dominated by desserts. Creamy, luscious gourmands chock full of vanilla are perhaps the biggest trend of the year. But even in this space, there’s still room for uniqueness — take A Whiff of Wafflecone from Imaginary Authors. As sweet, indulgent, and diffusive as you’d ever want, it also features a surprising current of gourmet smokiness, evoking the hot caramelizing sizzle of the waffle iron.
And there was plenty to discover beyond the invitation to revisit sugar-crazed suburban childhoods. From exciting florals to casually innovative reinventions of wood and warmth, here are some of our other favourite fragrance new releases from 2023.
Trend: Sunny Florals
Solaris EDP PENHALIGON’S
A delicious tropical dream, with amber and vanilla poured over piles of abstracted white flowers. Fans of Soleil Blanc have found their new level-up.
Neroli Nasimba EDP MAISON CRIVELLI
A dazzling laser beam of orange blossom refreshment, textured with pink pepper and a translucent current of leather and vetiver.
Sol Salgado Parfum Extrait THOMAS DE MONACO
A glittering dreamscape of honeyed linden and mimosa. It sparkles with salt crystals and dances weightless on the skin; a warm psychedelic sea breeze.
Trend: Sandalwood Reimagined
Sous le Pont Mirabeau ETAT LIBRE D’ORANGE
A virtual reality scent experience, transporting you to an old wooden bridge over a gently flowing river. Fades to a sheer, urban-fountain sandalwood.
Island Lush EDP GOLDFIELD & BANKS AUSTRALIA
Two kinds of sandalwood mingle with airy spices and creamy resins in a sumptuous tropical slipstream. Effortless, sexy, symphonic — you have to smell it for yourself!
Trend: Contemporary Warmth
Arabesque EDP ORMONDE JAYNE
A weightless, ultramodern oud lit through with pepper, saffron and moss. A gorgeous new take on a classic smoky floral; we’ve never smelled a version quite this easy or electric.
Lineage EDP AMOUAGE
Somehow, this luxurious fragrance takes heaps of luxurious Omani frankincense resin and makes it nostalgic, breezy, even playful. Five star vacation in a bottle.
Harvest Mouse Extrait de Parfum ZOOLOGIST
We are living in the age of vanilla. Zoologist found a way to enliven the genre with rustic farmhouse textures of chamomile, hay, and, yes, beer extract. Unique, wearable and surprisingly soothing.
Trend: Fragrance as Function
Pasta Water Candle D.S. & DURGA
One of the most original ideas to come along in this, or any other year, this candle certainly divides opinion. But for those who love it, its silky, soothing, slightly salty scent adds a strangely addictive touch to a room. It’s also the rare scented candle that can add glowing ambiance without competing with the savoury aromas of a meal.
Molecule Travel Set ESCENTRIC MOLECULES
Not just a collection of trial sizes — this set is a mini perfume lab in a box. Each of the five Molecule-series fragrances are a single base note in alcohol, which means you can wear them alone, in combination with each other, or as magical enhancements under any other scent. Because of their simplicity, it’s hard to go wrong with almost any mix and match, making this kit a source of endless scent experimentation.
Aqua Universalis Universal Fabric Softener MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN
Famed perfumer Francis Kurkdjian conceived the Aqua Universalis fragrance as more than just a perfume: it’s a lifestyle-in-a-bottle. Now, adding this invisible touch of olfactory elegance to your life is as easy as doing the laundry. This fabric softener is top-shelf garment care and a clever way to add an extra gleaming layer to your personal scentscape — in a fragrance that smells a bit like a flower-shop-meets-ultra-luxe-laundromat.
From high-performing complexion-evening makeup to shadows that provide that extra glow, we are covering the best in beauty of 2023.
At Etiket, we’ve always advocated natural beauty, whereby our skin is the main focus and our assets are highlighted rather than concealed. Products that even the complexion from brands RMS Beauty and ILIA have been among your favourites, and shadows that give the skin a luminous look have been popular, too. Here is a look at your beauty favourites this past year.
Discover the top 10 most-loved hair care products of 2023.
2023 will be remembered as the year when hair loss is addressed, slowed down or camouflaged, volume-enhancing products are sought after, as are products for creating a tight Hailey Bieber-style chignon or for extending the days between 2 washes.
We're breaking down the top skincare products you could not get enough of this year!
This is it: another year is about to come to an end. When we look back on our best-selling products, we have to face the facts: the classics will remain classics. Year after year, some of your favourite products remain your favourites, and that’s only natural, since you can’t change a winning formula. Find below the most popular skincare products of the year.
Find out about all the best launches at Etiket this past year!
At the end of the year, we always like to look back on the past 12 months. Here are the 5 launches, 4 brands and one product, that made Etiket’s Best Launches of 2023 list.
Best New Brand & Product Launches this Past Year
1. Le Rouge à Ongles: This French brand introduces us to the neighbourhoods of Paris through each of its bottles, the latter which are the perfect size, that is, neither too big, nor too small. These make you dream of owning the entire collection, allowing you to change the colour of our nails to suit your mood.
2. Wonder Valley This range, with its hippy, cool, underground feel, was a revelation this year. As fashionista and style queen Jenna Lyon says, this range “does some really interesting things, and I’m really excited by everything it does”. It inspires us to live a healthy, simple and effective lifestyle. A collection of products that we love to gift, over and over again!
3. The Light Salon If you’re skeptical about those LED masks that look like they’re straight out of a horror movie, it’s because you haven’t tried them yet! The ultimate experience and spa treatment in the comfort of your own home. Both effective and relaxing, you can wear it while immersed in a good book, working (thanks to telecommuting in recent years) or watching your favourite movie.
4. Wonderblush We always love to be presented with high-performance products, and we love them even more when they’re local. We first fell in love with the woman behind the brand, and it was when we tested her products that we realized it was a perfect match: a local brand, a lovely founder, eco-responsible packaging and formulas free from ingredients known or recognized as toxic or harmful.
5. The One Face Cream by NUORI: This is what you would call a gem! With The One, Nuori wanted to give us THE product that would somehow become the love of our lives… or at least of our routine. It’s got it all: a unique, multi-functional formula, high-performance ingredients, it’s simple and, above all, once you’ve tried it, you don’t feel like going anywhere else. 😉 We do everything we can to have it on hand, and we replenish it as soon as the bottle is finished. No wonder it’s become NUORI’s best-seller.
