Fine'ry launched in 2023 with a mission to create elevated fragrances at an affordable price.

The latest in Marc Jacobs' hugely popular Daisy franchise is inspired by the great outdoors (the wildflower bouquet-inspired bottle has floating faux stems). The aroma features banana blossom — the flower of a type of wild banana — that lends an air of mystery to the bold jasmine and vetiver. Another fun first for the brand: you can now buy refills so you can keep the distinctive bottles and minimize waste!

The Black-owned fine fragrance brand is known for its transportive aromas that help the wearer's mind roam to another time (if you spritz on Dawn, Dusk or Dare) or place (via its Wanderlust collection, with scents such as Casablanca). Carnivale evokes the sublime joy of the Caribbean's legendarily exuberant events with notes of juicy mango, fresh ginger and lush whipped musks.

With the launch of L'Eau d'Issey in 1992, Issey Miyake set out to capture the scent of water on a woman's skin. Three decades and several iterations later, this new take on the iconic fragrance is inspired by an aquatic breeze and sun-kissed violets. The result: a bold floral aroma (iris helps amp up its powdery vibe) that's balanced by the sweetness of a hint of pear.
