2026 has been a year of extremes in niche perfumery, and the thirty releases below show it plainly. Gourmands got stranger and more specific — bubble tea, mango sticky rice, vanilla for breakfast. Citrus got serious, with houses pushing extrait concentrations at grapefruit and lemon so the bright material actually lasts. Oud came back wrapped in fruit. And at least one perfumer built a fragrance around mushroom. Every one of these is stocked at Redolia Perfumery, and every note list and perfumer credit below comes from our own product pages rather than from secondhand sources. You can smell all thirty in person at our shop at 92 West Main Street in Somerville, New Jersey, or order them at redolia.com. Samples are free when you visit.
The 2026 releases, house by house
Listed alphabetically by house. Each entry opens with a one-line summary, then the full note breakdown, the perfumer where our data credits one, and when the fragrance actually wears best.
Boadicea The Victorious Carbon Sapphire Supercharged (2026)
Boadicea The Victorious Carbon Sapphire Supercharged Eau de Parfum is a dense amber-woody oud, opened by cognac and saffron and closed with leather, guaiac wood and musk.
The top is cognac, saffron, pink pepper and geranium — boozy and spiced, with the geranium keeping it from turning syrupy. The heart brings oud forward alongside jasmine, rose, Turkish rose and leather, so the floral material is wrapped in something darker rather than sitting on top of it. The base repeats the oud and settles onto guaiac wood, patchouli, amber and musk. Our page lists it as unisex and does not credit a perfumer. This is a cold-weather fragrance for evenings out and special occasions — a strong, deliberate choice rather than an everyday spray, and one worth testing on skin before you commit. See the full product page.
Bon Parfumeur 005 Riviera Absolue (2026)
Bon Parfumeur 005 Riviera Absolue Extrait de Parfum is a citrus-aromatic built to last, pairing tomato leaf and caviar lemon with a smoky black tea drydown.
Paul Guerlain composed it. The opening is tomato leaf, lemon caviar and bergamot — green, slightly bitter, and sharper than a straight citrus cologne. Ginger, neroli and cardamom warm the middle without adding sweetness, and the base of black tea, cypriol, olibanum and ambroxan gives the composition the smoke and grip that most citrus scents lack. The extrait concentration is the point here: it keeps the bright top material readable for hours instead of minutes. Unisex, and best in summer, in daytime, and for everyday wear in warm weather. A good option if you like citrus but have given up on citrus longevity. See the full product page.
BORNTOSTANDOUT Drunk Lovers Extrait Extrême (2026)
BORNTOSTANDOUT Drunk Lovers Extrait Extrême is a boozy amber-woody built on wine and brandy over leather, oud and tonka bean.
Jordi Fernández composed it. Clary sage, wine and bergamot open it with a herbal-alcoholic lift, then the heart fills out with jasmine sambac, Peru balsam, ginger, brandy and davana — that last note carrying an apricot-and-rum quality that pushes the boozy accord further. The base is akigalawood, tonka bean, leather, oud and labdanum: sweet, tanned and resinous. Our data scores it highest for winter and night, with autumn close behind. Unisex. Wear it for date nights, romantic evenings and cold-weather evenings out. At extrait extrême strength it projects, so one or two sprays will do the job. See the full product page.
BORNTOSTANDOUT Melón Malo Extrait Extrême (2026)
BORNTOSTANDOUT Melón Malo Extrait Extrême is a woody-fruity that takes melon somewhere dark, backing it with oud, leather and labdanum.
Jordi Fernández composed this one too. Melon, ginger, cinnamon and mandarin open it — juicy, but spiced immediately, which is what separates it from the aquatic melons of the nineties. Red fruits, Bulgarian rose and patchouli sit in the heart, and the base of oud, amberwood, leather, labdanum and musk gives it weight and a slightly animalic edge. The accords on our page read fruity, floral, woody, leather and warm spicy. It is unisex and more flexible than its sibling: our wear data supports it across autumn and winter but also rates it well for daytime, the office and everyday wear. See the full product page.
Clive Christian Strange Heavens Out of the Blue (2026)
Clive Christian Strange Heavens Out of the Blue Perfume is a coffee-and-cocoa gourmand with smoke in the base — sweet, but not soft.
Celine Herbette and Kamila Lelakova composed it. Coffee, pink pepper and anise open it with a bitter, slightly liquorice-edged roast. Orange blossom and jasmine in the heart lift the composition and stop it reading purely as dessert. Then caramel, cocoa, vanilla and smoke close it out — the smoke is the detail that makes it, cutting the sugar and giving the drydown a burnt, resinous finish. Classified on our page as amber vanilla and unisex. This is a cold-weather perfume for evenings out and special occasions, and at perfume concentration it stays close and rich rather than filling a room. See the full product page.
Creed Wild Vetiver (2026)
Creed Wild Vetiver Eau de Parfum is a woody vetiver with a peppery citrus opening and a rose-and-blackcurrant heart, composed by Erwin Creed.
Bergamot, pink pepper and timur start it — timur being a Himalayan pepper with a grapefruit-like bite, which is where the “wild” character comes from. Rose, black currant and geranium in the middle add a tart, slightly green facet, and then vetiver, amberwood and cedarwood carry the drydown. The vetiver here is the earthy-woody kind rather than the smoky kind. Our page lists it as a men's fragrance, though it wears easily on anyone who likes dry woods. Accords run woody, green, fresh spicy, aromatic and earthy. It rates well for the office, daytime and everyday wear, and it is strongest in autumn and winter. See the full product page.
d'Annam Bubble Tea (2026)
d'Annam Bubble Tea Eau de Parfum is a gourmand that opens on brewed black tea and finishes on milk and vanilla, with boba and brown sugar in between.
Luis Hou composed it. The black tea at the top is the real thing — dark and slightly astringent, not an Earl Grey abstraction. Boba and brown sugar form the heart, rendering the tapioca as a chewy, creamy roundness against brown sugar's caramel depth. Milk then vanilla close it, softening everything without turning loud. The accords are gourmand, tea, sweet, creamy and milky. Unisex. It performs best at night and in cold weather, and it suits dinners, date nights and everyday wear if you like sweet fragrances that still have a bitter tea backbone holding them up. See the full product page.
d'Annam Mango Sticky Rice (2026)
d'Annam Mango Sticky Rice Eau de Parfum is a three-note gourmand — ripe mango, steamed rice and coconut milk — and it does not try to be anything more.
Anh Ngo composed it. The mango is bright and honeyed, a clean fruited opening with none of the floral or herbal complications mango usually picks up in perfumery. Rice at the heart is the interesting part: warm and faintly earthy rather than starchy, with a creamy softness that bridges the fruit and the base. Coconut milk closes it, creamy and lightly sweet rather than toasted or confectionery. Accords: gourmand, fruity, sweet, creamy and tropical. Unisex, and rated strongest for night and cold weather — the richness reads better in cool air than in August heat. See the full product page.
D'ORSAY Vanilla Affair (2026)
D'ORSAY Vanilla Affair Extrait de Parfum is a tobacco-and-vanilla extrait from the Parisian house, dry at the top and smooth underneath.
Nathalie Lorson composed it. It opens on tobacco, tonka bean and cistus — leafy, slightly bitter, with the cistus adding a resinous, almost leathery lift. The heart is what our page calls a vanilla duo, two vanilla facets playing against each other, and the base is white musk, patchouli and amber. Classified as woody on our page, with accords of vanilla, tobacco, amber, woody and sweet. Unisex. This is an evening fragrance: the wear data points hard at night and winter, and it suits romantic evenings, date nights and special occasions. If you find most vanillas too sugary, the tobacco here is the fix. See the full product page.
Essential Parfums Ambre Latte (2026)
Essential Parfums Ambre Latte Eau de Parfum is an amber-vanilla gourmand built around almond milk, caramel and a broad woody base.
Jordi Fernández composed it. Almond milk opens it — creamy and nutty rather than marzipan-sweet. Caramel, tonka bean and vanilla fill the heart, and then an unusually detailed base does the work: akigalawood, sandalwood, white musk, amberwood, benzoin and guaiac wood. That combination of woods and resins is what keeps the sweetness from flattening out, adding a peppery-smoky dryness underneath the latte idea. Accords read gourmand, amber, vanilla, sweet and nutty. Unisex, strongest at night and in cold weather, and suited to dinners, date nights and everyday autumn wear. One of the easier 2026 gourmands to wear. See the full product page.
French Cowboy Fig Lemonade (2026)
French Cowboy Fig Lemonade Eau de Parfum is a sharp citrus-fig — Italian lemon and bergamot over fig leaf, buchu and cedarwood.
Ashley Santiago composed it. The lemon is the loud part at the start, and bergamot rounds it. Fig leaf in the heart brings that green, milky-sappy quality that fig leaf does better than fig fruit, and buchu adds a blackcurrant-like sulfurous tang that keeps the whole thing from going soapy. Cedarwood alone in the base means the drydown stays dry and slim rather than heavy. Accords: citrus, green, fresh, fig and woody. Unisex. Our wear data rates it at the very top for summer, spring and daytime — an office and hot-weather fragrance, and an easy recommendation for anyone in central New Jersey looking for a summer signature. See the full product page.
French Cowboy Vanilla for Breakfast (2026)
French Cowboy Vanilla for Breakfast Eau de Parfum is a straightforward creamy vanilla — almond milk, vanilla, tonka bean and benzoin — that blooms immediately instead of unfolding slowly.
Mia Fall composed it. Almond milk opens creamy and gentle, never sharp. Vanilla arrives within moments, warm and rounded, building on the milky sweetness rather than replacing it. Tonka bean and benzoin ground the base with a roasted, resinous, faintly woody warmth. The texture stays creamy throughout with enough structure to avoid reading as pure confectionery. Accords: vanilla, sweet, gourmand, almond and warm spicy. Unisex. It is rated highest for night and cold weather and suits dinners, date nights and everyday wear. Good for anyone who wants comfort rather than complexity. See the full product page.
Fugazzi Pomegranoudh (2026)
Fugazzi Pomegranoudh Extrait de Parfum is a fruity oud — tart pomegranate and red fruits over oud, patchouli, amber and vanilla.
It was created for Fugazzi, the Amsterdam house founded in 2018 by Bram Niessink; our page does not credit an individual perfumer. Pomegranate, red fruits and bergamot open it with a juicy, acidic snap that reads brighter than most oud fragrances allow. Oud and patchouli take over in the heart, dark and earthy, and the base of amber, vanilla and musk sweetens and smooths the finish. Classified woody, with accords of woody, fruity, amber, sweet and warm spicy. Unisex. It rates well across autumn and winter but is flexible enough for the office and everyday wear, which is unusual for an oud at extrait strength. See the full product page.
Giardini di Toscana Oro E Miele (2026)
Giardini di Toscana Oro E Miele is a honeyed floral — almond and rose over honey and heliotrope, closing on vanilla, coconut and iris.
Our page does not credit a perfumer. The almond-and-rose opening sets a soft, powdery tone straight away, and honey with heliotrope in the heart pushes it further in that direction: warm, faintly almondy, slightly waxy in the way real honey notes are. Vanilla, coconut and iris in the base add creaminess and a cosmetic-powder finish. Accords: sweet, honey, floral, powdery and vanilla. Unisex, though it leans classically feminine in character. It is strongest at night and in cold weather, and works for dinners, date nights and everyday autumn and winter wear. Test it on skin — honey notes vary a lot person to person. See the full product page.
Giardini di Toscana Ricordami (2026)
Giardini di Toscana Ricordami is a green chypre — citrus, galbanum and fig leaf over white florals, closing on oakmoss, vetiver and ambergris.
Our page does not credit a perfumer. Galbanum at the top is the signal note: bitter, stemmy and cold, with citrus brightening it and fig leaf adding a milky green edge. Magnolia and lily-of-the-valley form a clean floral heart, and the base of ambergris, vetiver, oakmoss and cedar delivers the mossy, mineral dryness that defines the chypre family. Accords: green, woody, floral, mossy and fresh. Unisex. Our data rates it highest for spring, followed by summer and daytime, and it suits the office and everyday wear. A good pick if you miss traditional oakmoss chypres. See the full product page.
Giardini di Toscana Verde Respiro (2026)
Giardini di Toscana Verde Respiro is an aromatic green fougere-adjacent scent, pairing bergamot and blackberry with clary sage, lavender, patchouli and oakmoss.
Our page does not credit a perfumer. The blackberry in the opening is the twist — it gives the bergamot a dark fruity edge instead of the usual lemon-cologne start. Clary sage and lavender in the heart are the classic aromatic pairing, herbal and slightly camphorous, and the base of patchouli and oakmoss keeps the whole thing earthy and dry. Accords: green, aromatic, fresh, woody and mossy. Unisex. Rated highest for spring and summer, and strong for daytime, the office and everyday wear. Of the three Giardini di Toscana 2026 releases, this is the most wearable in a workday context. See the full product page.
Goldfield & Banks Rose Magnitude (2026)
Goldfield & Banks Rose Magnitude Eau de Parfum is a clean, fruity rose — lychee at the top, rose and geranium at the heart, musk and cedar underneath.
Hamid Merati-Kashani composed it. Lychee gives the opening a juicy, slightly floral sweetness that reads modern rather than retro. Rose and geranium together sharpen the floral heart; geranium brings a green, faintly minty rosiness that keeps the rose from turning jammy. Musk and cedar close it simply and cleanly, so the drydown sits close to the skin. Accords: floral, rose, fruity, musky and woody. Unisex. It rates at the very top for spring, strong for daytime and summer, and it suits date nights, romantic evenings and everyday wear. Straightforward, well made, easy to like. See the full product page.
Goldfield & Banks Sunset Hour Dark Peach (2026)
Goldfield & Banks Sunset Hour Dark Peach Eau de Parfum is a boozy amber peach — pink pepper and ginger over peach and rum, finishing on vanilla, amber and tonka bean.
Hamid Merati-Kashani composed this one too. Pink pepper and ginger open it with a dry spice that stops the peach reading as a shampoo note. Peach and rum in the heart are the centre of the fragrance: ripe fruit soaked in something strong. The base of vanilla, amber and tonka bean makes the drydown warm, sweet and skin-close. Accords: fruity, amber, sweet, warm spicy and vanilla. Unisex. Our wear data puts it firmly in winter and night territory, with autumn close behind, and it suits evenings out, special occasions and romantic evenings. See the full product page.
House of Bō Xuxu (2026)
House of Bō Xuxu Parfum is a sparkling fruity gourmand — champagne, chili pepper and clementine up top, rose, blackberry and Earl Grey tea at the heart, white musk, vanilla and saffron below.
House of Bō does not publicly credit the composing perfumer, and our page follows that. The champagne opening pops, the chili pepper adds a brief tingle rather than heat, and clementine keeps it juicy. The heart is the most interesting part: Damask rose and blackberry against bergamot-scented Earl Grey tea. Saffron in the base gives the vanilla-and-musk finish a golden, slightly leathery lift. Parfum strength, offered in 40 ml and 75 ml. Unisex. Best at night and in cold weather — dinners, date nights and celebrations. See the full product page.
L'Epoque Parfums Dreams and Nightmares (2026)
L'Epoque Parfums Dreams and Nightmares is a woody chypre built on petrichor and wet earth — it smells like the ground after rain, not like a garden.
Elena Valdivieso Ruiz composed it for this American niche house at 20% concentration. Pink pepper, cardamom, eucalyptus and bergamot open it cool and mentholated. The heart is where it turns: patchouli, petrichor and wet earth, dark and mineral and genuinely damp-smelling. Moss and amber woods finish it, keeping the earthiness anchored to something warm. Accords: earthy, woody, aromatic, fresh spicy and green. Unisex. Our data supports it across autumn and winter while still rating it for daytime, the office and everyday wear. A distinctive scent that still behaves itself in public. See the full product page.
L'Epoque Parfums Inner Child (2026)
L'Epoque Parfums Inner Child is a soft floral-woody musk — clean linen and bergamot over freesia, vanilla and lily of the valley, finishing on skin musk and pale woods.
Elena Valdivieso Ruiz composed it at 20% concentration. The linen note at the top is literal: crisp, laundered, slightly starchy, with bergamot adding lift. Freesia and lily of the valley give a fresh, watery floral heart and a touch of vanilla rounds off any sharp edges. White wood, birch wood and skin musk close it — quiet, warm and close to the body. Accords: musky, floral, woody, powdery and fresh. Unisex. It rates at the top for spring and strong for daytime and summer, and it suits everyday wear, date nights and romantic evenings. See the full product page.
L'Epoque Parfums Serotonin Spritz (2026)
L'Epoque Parfums Serotonin Spritz is a grapefruit-and-tequila aromatic — one of the brightest 2026 releases we stock.
Carlos Benaïm and Laurent Le Guernec composed it at 20% concentration. Grapefruit, pink pepper and pomelo zest open it with a bitter, zesty snap. The heart runs a tequila accord with thyme, geranium and cassis leaf — herbal, green and faintly salty, which is what gives the “spritz” idea some substance instead of leaving it as a citrus flash. Watery musk, cedarwood and amber form a light base that holds the top notes in place. Accords: citrus, aromatic, fresh spicy, green and woody. Unisex. Rated highest for summer, daytime and spring — a hot-weather and office fragrance. See the full product page.
Nasomatto Micodelirio (2026)
Nasomatto Micodelirio Extrait de Parfum is a mushroom fragrance — green at the top, fungal and damp at the heart, woody and rooted at the base.
Alessandro Gualtieri composed it. The green opening is austere and mineral, with no sweetness to soften it. Then mushroom takes over: not the culinary kind but an abstract, damp, fungal accord that reads almost animalic. Woody notes and patchouli finish it, raw rather than polished. Accords: earthy, woody, green, mossy and aromatic. Unisex. This is the most divisive release on this list and deliberately so — some people will love it immediately and some will not get past the heart. It rates for autumn and winter. Do not buy this one unsniffed; come and try it. See the full product page.
Ormonde Jayne Bijou Zafran (2026)
Ormonde Jayne Bijou Zafran Eau de Parfum is a saffron amber — saffron and pear over iris, cypriol and patchouli, finishing on benzoin, amber, vanilla, leather and musk.
Elodie Bernard composed it. Saffron leads, dry and faintly leathery-metallic, with pear adding just enough juiciness to round the opening. Iris in the heart brings a cool, rooty powderiness, while cypriol and patchouli add smoke and earth. The base is where it settles into something rich: benzoin and amber for resinous warmth, vanilla for sweetness, leather and musk for depth. Accords: amber, saffron, leather, powdery and warm spicy. Unisex. Rated strongest for winter and night, then autumn. Built for evenings out, special occasions and romantic evenings. See the full product page.
Ormonde Jayne Vanilla Mistral (re-released as Vanilla Aube) (2026)
Ormonde Jayne Vanilla Mistral Eau de Parfum is a woody-spicy vanilla — black pepper, pistachio and cardamom up front, sandalwood and vanilla underneath.
Elodie Bernard composed it. The opening of black pepper, pomegranate, pistachio and cardamom is unusually dry for a fragrance with vanilla in the name; the pistachio adds a green, nutty facet and the pomegranate a tart edge. Cashmeran, iris and fig in the heart bring a soft, musky-woody powderiness, and the base of sandalwood, ambergris, vanilla and vetiver keeps the vanilla creamy but grounded. Accords: woody, warm spicy, vanilla, powdery and amber. Unisex. Rated highest for winter and night. If Vanilla Affair is the tobacco vanilla, this is the woody, peppered one. See the full product page.
Pernoire Luvani (2026)
Pernoire Luvani Extrait de Parfum is a white-floral amber — moonflower, jasmine and tuberose over vanilla, nutmeg and guaiac wood, finishing on cedarwood, olibanum and white rose.
Andreas Wilhelm composed it for the Swiss house Pernoire. Incense sits in the opening alongside the white flowers, which gives the tuberose and jasmine a smoky, church-like frame from the very first minute. The heart adds hazelnut leaves, vanilla, guaiac wood, nutmeg and further white flowers — nutty, warm and creamy. The base is ambrostar, cedarwood, olibanum and white rose. Accords: white floral, vanilla, sweet, woody and balsamic. Unisex. Rated highest for winter and night, then autumn, and suited to special occasions, evenings out and romantic evenings. See the full product page.
Pernoire Yuma (2026)
Pernoire Yuma Extrait de Parfum is an alpine woody-aromatic — Swiss mint, peppermint and yuzu over edelweiss and ginger, drying down on vetiver, musk and patchouli.
Andreas Wilhelm composed it, again for the Swiss house Pernoire. The mint at the top is cold and clear rather than toothpaste-sweet, with yuzu and bergamot giving it citrus lift. The heart runs an alpine breeze accord with edelweiss, ginger and cashmeran — airy, slightly powdery, with ginger keeping some spice in play. Dry amber, vetiver, musk and patchouli anchor it. Accords: aromatic, citrus, fresh spicy, woody and musky. Unisex. Our data rates it at the top for summer, then daytime and spring. An extrait that behaves like a hot-weather fragrance, which is rare. See the full product page.
Unique'e Luxury Chicelle (2026)
Unique'e Luxury Chicelle Extrait de Parfum is a fruity floral with a praline base — strawberry and apple over rose and jasmine, closing on praline, sugar and musk.
Gökhan Şimşek composed it. Strawberry, apple, peony and iris open it bright and slightly powdery, the iris keeping the fruit from reading as candy. Rose and jasmine form a full, classical floral heart. Then praline, sugar and musk take it into gourmand territory for the drydown — nutty, sweet and long-wearing at extrait strength. Accords: fruity, floral, sweet, gourmand and rose. Unisex, though it leans feminine. Rated highest for spring, then daytime and summer, and it suits date nights, romantic evenings and everyday wear. Bold and loud in the best sense. See the full product page.
Unique'e Luxury D'olcezza (2026)
Unique'e Luxury D'olcezza Extrait de Parfum is a coconut-and-berry gourmand — red berries and pimento over coconut and jasmine, finishing on sugar, vanilla and musk.
Our page does not credit a perfumer for this one. Pimento in the opening is the unusual choice: an allspice-like pepperiness that gives the red berries a warm, slightly medicinal kick instead of letting them sit sweet. Coconut and jasmine in the heart bring creaminess and a white-floral lift, and the base of sugar, vanilla and musk is simple and sweet. Accords: fruity, sweet, coconut, floral and tropical. Unisex. Despite the tropical accord, the wear data points at night and cold weather — the richness suits dinners, date nights and winter evenings better than a July afternoon. See the full product page.
Villa Erbatium Green Grape Beer (2026)
Villa Erbatium Green Grape Beer Eau de Parfum is a fizzy green-grape fruity — grape and aldehydes over green notes, closing on white musk and soft woods.
Our page does not credit a perfumer. The opening is a vivid take on freshly squeezed green grape juice, bright and effervescent, with aldehydes supplying the fizz of a poured drink. A cool green accord follows, capturing the crisp sensation of beer without any of the bitterness. White musk and dry, understated woody notes finish it, clean and low-key. Accords: fruity, fresh, aromatic, musky and green. Unisex. Rated at the top for summer, spring and daytime, and comfortable for the office and everyday wear. One of the lightest and most immediately likeable releases in this list. See the full product page.
