What does 2026 smell like? Perhaps it’s a whisper of violet, a splash of oceanic blue, or a burst of ripe raspberry—this season’s newest scents are less about a signature and more about a mood. From poetic minimalism to bold, edible sensuality, these seven launches redefine how we wear fragrance now.
1Onitsuka Tiger Fragrance Collection
A quiet yet confident debut, Onitsuka Tiger introduces four scents under the theme “Wearing Quiet Radiance”. Crafted by Mark Buxton, each fragrance explores contrast:
- ONE: Green notes, mint, citrus, white florals, deep woods—fresh yet grounded
- TWO: Bergamot, lemon, geranium, incense, musk—soft and meditative
- THREE: Orange, violet, sea notes, smoky woods—earthy with depth
- FOUR: Peppermint, absinthe, nutmeg—fresh with a spicy edge
Available at Pavilion KL boutique and online.
