Take a closer look at the Spring 2024 designer and niche launches that we at LUXSB feel will complement and add panache to your fragrance wardrobe. Trust us, that this list has something for everyone and everything that you have come to love about the LUXSB fragrance experience.

Montale Lucky Candy

If yummy were a fragrance (please don’t eat it, however tempting!). This gourmand from the well loved niche house incorporates notes of marshmallow, coconut, cacao, and honey. Florals add a tropical vibe with notes of frangipani, lily of the valley, and neroli.  Grounding notes are musk, vanilla, amber, and toffee.

Rosy & Earnest:  Be Earnest and Be Rosy

If you aren’t familiar with Rosy & Earnest, LUXSB is pleased to introduce this Canadian clean scent house that has earned the designation of EWG-certified (Environmental Working Group). Which means that you can feel confident that these scents are good for you with all safe synthetics and natural extracts. 

Be Earnest and Be Rosy are exclusive to LUXSB. Be Earnest is a woody floral with notes of apple and rhubarb. Base notes of Canadian fir balsam, cedarwood, and musk are all natural and not animal derived. Be Rosy is a luminous floral with notes of osmanthus, orris butter, and black tea extracted by CO2, clementine oil Italy, carrot oil France, and pear accords. 

Amouage Guidance

Amouage is a line that has admirers from far and near. Scents like Guidance is a reminder of the sheer beauty of this East meets West highly acclaimed and widely beloved niche house established in Oman in 1983.  Guidance is a feminine leaning amber floral with top notes of hazelnut, pear, and frankincense, a heart of jasmine sambac, osmanthus, and saffron rose, and grounding base notes of cistus, sandalwood, ambergris, vanilla, and akigalawood.

Try this reimagined version of the trio of rose, frankincense, and ambergris and fall in love with Spring!

Mancera Red Tobacco Intense

If you are a Mancera fanatic (like most of us are), a launch from the French house is truly exciting. As is Red Tobacco Intense. This is the “beast mode” version of the original, perfect for brisk chilly Spring evenings or for a gentleman who prefers tobacco scents that lean a bit sweeter. Enjoy the smooth authenticity of Red Tobacco Intense with a tobacco note and everything that makes this French niche house so desirable. Notes include top notes of saffron, cinnamon, nutmeg, pear, and incense, middle notes of leather, tobacco, patchouli, vetiver, and jasmine, and base notes of  amber, vanilla pods, white musk, and woody notes.

Michel Parfums by Michel Germain Paris

If you haven’t experienced scents from the luxury house of Michel Parfums (Michel Germain Paris’ niche offerings) yet, you are in for such a treat! LUXSB has access to these bar none ultra exclusive scents with four outstanding choices, Orange Blossom Garden and French Vanilla, Raspberry Royale and French Black Pepper, French Pear and Queen’s Lilac, and French Oak and Sage Imperial.

MICHEL PARFUM: Orange Blossom Garden and French Vanilla

The message of love emanates from Orange Blossom Garden and French Vanilla. This floral is lush and creamy, so perfect for Spring and Summer. The layers of scent in this virtual garden include top notes of fresh lemon zest and violet leaf, middle notes of jasmine sambac and orange blossom and a heart of french vanilla, musk, and tonka bean.

MICHEL PARFUM: Raspberry Royale and French Black Pepper

The spirited spiciness of Raspberry Royale and French Black Pepper embodies the energy of a flourishing Spring outlook. This is what Spring feels like: top notes of raspberries and black pepper oil, middle notes of orris, rose, and patchouli, and hearts of sensual musk and sandalwood.

MICHEL PARFUM: French Pear and Queen’s Lilac

If gorgeous fruity scents resonate more with you,  you will adore French Pear and Queen’s Lilac. This is the dressed up with a bow, grown-up version of a modern fruity floral fragrance profile that has admirers of all demographics. Wear this and feel Spring’s lighthearted vibes with notes of a juicy French Bartlett Pear, black currant, and spicy pink peppercorn, floral notes of lilac, geranium oil, and rose essential, and a heart of modern amber and musk.

MICHEL PARFUM: French Oak and Sage Imperial

When woodsy scents are the only sight you wish to see, wear French Oak and Sage Imperial and explore its opulence.  This is the perfect go-to for those who prefer a more herbaceous fragrance and an earthy scent trail. Notes of fig leaf, bergamot peel, French sage oil, cedarwood, French oak, and sandalwood are perfect for those who favor masculine learning scents and a great men’s scent for warmer weather. 

Nasomatto Narcotic V EDP Extrait

Whether this is your first or millionth purchase from the house of Nasomotto, adding Narcotic V (for Venus, the Goddess of Love) to your fragrance wardrobe is the piece de resistance for a feminine niche scent experience. And why not fall in love with the floral Narcotic V during the season of love and renewal?  Venus herself would likely approve of this aptly-titled selection.

This is a floral that is not shy about harnessing the power of the tuberose, a very animalic white flower that is truly like Spring in a bottle.  This is a buttery, in your face representation of what being a powerful woman is. And being in love with this power. Without reservation.

Mancera Amore Caffe

Inspired by an affogato, induldge in a delight with notes of Espresso and Vanilla Ice Cream. 

For all of these incredible scents that are ready for frolicking through the season with ultimate style, check out LUXSB’s website and choose one, or two, or maybe all of them. Be Scentsational.

Delicious Gourmands by Montale


By: - Sunday January 7, 2024

Gourmands are one of the world's most loved scent families. Cocoa is one of the most loved ingredients. Why not put them together to create one of the most decadent scents around? That is Chocolate Greedy by Montale. Montale is a French niche house that is renowned for its oud compositions as a Western brand embracing the art of Eastern perfumery. The resulting scent is a chocolate gourmand that invokes all of the things that we love about this dessert fave. Indulgent in its deliciousness. 

Montale Chocolate Greedy

Chocolate Greedy is a fall-winter masterpiece. It doesn't dance around the cocoa or offer a slight hint of chocolate. It is true chocolate and well "greedy" about being indulgent. Gourmand is fully embraced. Cacao powder is the focal point of interest in its development. Rich chocolate is milky and creamy in texture. Imagine a dark chocolate ganache being poured over a yummy vanilla cake. It is a sweet tooth's absolute dream dessert in a bottle. The various forms and depths of chocolate notes are fully explored. The cacao is real, not synthetic nor overly cloying. There is not an overpowering sillage, but a comforting scent that stays with you. In its drydown, the skin scent remains warm and inviting. Chocolate Greedy's composition consists of notes of cacao powder, Madagascar vanilla, tonka bean, and orange bitters.

Montale Vanilla Cake

Sugary sweet confections in the kitchen are tempting and delicious. They are whimsical, delightful as falling snowflakes and the soft glow of a fireplace. Comforting baked scents remind us of home and of being a child at heart. Vanilla Cake by Montale is definitely one of those vanilla scents that you never get enough of. Perfect for fans of vanilla fragrances, it is the definition of all things creamy, whipped, and frothy. Like the best frosting you've ever eaten, but make it wearable. It is the perfect fragrance for this season when comforting gourmand scents balance us with positivity, joy, and coziness. 

Vanilla Cake is an amber vanilla composition and the epitome of gourmand. Every complimentary note is also gourmand. Notes of meringue, milk, almond, Madagascar vanilla, and caramel are decadent and creamy goodness. It's a cake with spun sugar, milk, and vanilla on top. For those ultra-sweet scent fans, Montale's Vanilla Cake doesn't disappoint. Enjoy all the cake you can spray. You don't have to share this dessert with anyone else!

Parfums de Marly Valaya: A Modern Floral Woodsy Scent


By: Leila Zagwolsky - Sunday July 30, 2023

Parfums de Marly is a niche luxury Parisian fragrance house that never disappoints in bringing timeless, captivating scents that make an unforgettable impression. The latest launch, Valaya is a masterpiece in niche floral woodsy fragrances. If you appreciate florals and musks that are understated, clean, and gently alluring, give this scent a try. It achieves an airy close-to-the-skin scent feeling without sacrificing either longevity or lingering beauty. Consider Valaya your warm skin scent reimagined luxuriously.

With Valaya, Parfums de Marly integrates natural notes and molecules for an unforgettable and very wearable experience. One that could easily become an everyday favorite, appropriate for any occasion. Valaya is Parfums de Marly's "Ode to femininity" encapsulated in a contemporary fragrance. The inspiration according to the Parfums de Marly "an intimate sensation, a universal emotion, a deep breath of fresh air".  A colaboration between Julien Sprecher and Quentin Bisch, French perfumeur and nose of the scent, wished to achieve a duality of power and delicacy. Softness and strength.

Leave it to Parfums de Marly to carefully and expertly bottle a scent memory of comfort. Capturing that feeling of a crisp, clean cotton shirt freshly laundered. Or the silken touch of the most softly spun cotton linens. The duality of softness and strength is also true in Valaya's longevity. The scent's impression can be smelled hours after spritzing. Parfums de Marly's Valaya has an 18th-century sensibility but is interpreted for a modern audience of fragrance lovers. Scent has the unique ability to transcend space and time. Parfums de Marly never fails to take us along on a luxurious journey.

Parfums de Marly Valaya Eau de Parfum

Top Notes: Mandarin, Bergamot, White Peach

Middle Notes: Orange flower, Nympheal, Haitian vetiver

Base Notes: Akigalawood, ambrofix, musk

Ormonde Jayne Royal Elixir is an amberesque scent. It debuted in 2019. This eau de parfum is a bolder more intense version of Ambre Royal.

I have been using LUXSB for over a year now and I absolutely love them. They have the largest sizes of any perfume subscription service I have found and their selection is impressive. I love that I can select from both big-name designers as well as boutique fragrances. I have reached out to their customer service on many occasions and they are wonderful. Everyone I speak to is so friendly and super eager to help. They are even proactive about contacting me if they notice something. LUXSB is the only perfume subscription I recommend.
