Launches We're Loving 

Edition de Parfums Frederic Malle Heaven Can Wait Eau de Parfum by Jean-Claude Ellena

This was love at first spritz. Right away, you're hit with warm spice in the form of clove and ambrette, but soon iris, vetiver, peach, and prune add depth and unexpected sweetness. I've read reviews that liken it to carrot cake, and I think that's pretty accurate. The spice and fruity notes slowly give way to a soft musk and vanilla base with broader appeal, and also make it a perfect layering scent. It's truly a fun fragrance journey, and one that I will be wearing all through winter. —Jenna Rosenstein 

Jones Road Shower Fragrance

I'm a sucker for clean scents, and Jones Road's Shower fragrance is right up my alley. Featuring a blend of fresh and citrusy neroli, orange blossom, and sea spray notes, it's an ideal follow-up to a literal shower, and also happens to be perfect for scent layering. —Tiffany Dodson, associate beauty commerce editor

Three Questions With… Sofia Richie Grainge

Sofia Richie Grainge had quite the year, from a dreamy South of France wedding that became a spectacle on TikTok to her new role as beauty director for makeup and skincare brand Nudestix. Now, Grange is fully embracing the beauty world as the face of British fragrance brand Jo Malone London. We chatted with the It girl about the many scents of her wedding, where her love of candles and fragrances stems from, and her sister Nicole Richie's secret to smelling good. —Katie Intner

What is your first memory involving fragrance?

Two things: My parents would always burn so many candles in our house, so I have this scent from my childhood home that plays back in my head whenever I think about my first time with fragrance. Also, my mom had this really beautiful vanity with tons of perfumes on it, and as a kid I would go into her stash and spray them all over me and have an allergy attack.

Which scents remind you of your wedding?

When I think back to my wedding, I think about the nature smells that I played off of with the scents I wore, whether it was roses, peonies, or the ocean. I really wanted to wear light scents that tied into where I was and the events that we were hosting.

Who is the best-smelling person you know?

My sister [Nicole] has always smelled amazing. I remember when I was a kid, she would make her scent with oil perfumes in those rollerballs, and I was obsessed with how she smelled—and still am. She still wears that same scent. She's been consistent all of these years and truly smells fantastic.

Meanwhile, in Celebrity Beauty…

If it seems like every celebrity has a makeup, skincare, or supplement brand these days—you're right! It's chaos, but some of the products are actually good.

I've been a fan of Victoria Beckham practically my whole life—so it should come as no shock that I also adore her eponymous beauty brand. I was so excited when lab samples of her first three fragrances arrived at my house, and even more excited when I got to chat with her about the luxurious scents eight years in the making. The trio help tell the story of her and David Beckham's love story through the years, which I found even more profound after watching their fantastic documentary on Netflix. Here's what she had to say about the perfume Suite 302, which just won a coveted 2023 Bazaar Fragrance Award. —Jenna Rosenstein 

"For me, my perfect date night scent is Suite 302. It's quite a sensual fragrance. And it's the heaviest of the three. It feels quite mysterious, quite sexy. So I would wear that on date night or if I was wearing a tuxedo."

In Case You Missed It…

After quietly announcing the upcoming release of her newest eau de parfum earlier this year, Beyoncé has divulged more information about the scent with a series of Instagram posts. We've reported that the floral, gourmand fragrance now has a name—Cé Noir—and is available for preorder at beyonce.com, with shipping slated for sometime in November (right in time for the holidays). 

The superstar also posted her first-ever unboxing video to celebrate the highly anticipated scent: "It's finally here after years of work," Beyoncé says while admiring a prototype of Cé Noir. "I wanted something to be monolithic, and I wanted something to have a little bit of intimacy. I actually sprayed this during the show a few times—gotta keep it fresh."

Our beauty team has placed orders for Cé Noir and are waiting with bated breath for next month to arrive. The only thing we're more excited to receive than the star's official Renaissance film is a bottle of her new fragrance.  —Tiffany Dodson
