When you want the very best in ultra-luxurious fragrance, look no further than the house of Parfums de Marly. You have probably seen the line in the most exclusive department stores or heard about it from its legions of obsessed fans. Maybe you stumbled upon it while traveling to international destinations such as France, where the brand is made. The brand boasts precious high-quality ingredients while keeping true to French perfumery traditions. Parfums de Marly (PDM)  is not afraid to go outside the lines in defining its "art de vivre" of Chateau de Marly, a place of grandiose pleasures and inspiration of the 18th century made for the modern man or woman. A few defining scents from the house are Layton, Herod, Oriana, and Delina. 

Parfums de Marly Layton

Layton is in simple terms, a ravishing masterpiece in fragrance with a complex scent profile that just works. This masculine-leaning EDP incorporates top notes of apple, lavender, bergamot, and mandarin orange for a crisp opening. The heart consists of florals: geranium, violet, and jasmine with impressive longevity. The base notes of vanilla, cardamom, sandalwood, pepper, patchouli, and guaiac wood leave an impression and delightful sillage trail. Its substantial blue bottle features a duo of horses flanking a crest which Parfums de Marly is known for. Layton should rank high on the list of must-try scents. It is appropriate for any season. 

Parfums de Marly Herod

For something a bit deeper and richer but equally addictive, Herod is another highly recommended men's fragrance, perfect for fall and winter use. Herod is characterized by a diverse composition, with a punch of charred vanilla. This EDP features on-top notes of cinnamon and pepper. The heart is comprised of tobacco leaf, incense, ciste, and osmanthus. Notes of vanilla pod, musk, woody accord, and patchouli are the finishing touch for this luxurious expression. 

Parfums de Marly Oriana

For women, Parfums de Marly's gourmand fruity floral selection Oriana is guaranteed to inspire an eternally youthful spark with its subtle playful accords. Oriana is pretty without compromising attention to detail and layers of texture. Top notes of mandarin, bergamot, and grapefruit are a blast of fresh and citrus. Heart notes of orange blossom, blackcurrant, raspberry are the essence of Oriana. Base notes of marshmallow and chantilly cream are the sweetness and fluff of dreams. Ambrette and musk ground and add sensuality to the composition. 

Parfums de Marly Delina

Parfums de Marly's Delina has several sides and unique incarnations.  Delina is as elegant a floral as you can find.  This composition balances both the softness of a floral and the bubbly effervescence of frolicking through the lushest gardens of France. Top notes of rhubarb, lychee, bergamot essence Turkish rose, peony, and vanilla notes are the heart of the scent and maintain a presence throughout. Base notes of cashmeran, musk, and vetiver blend well and allow lighter notes to shine above.

This new release has a name so intriguing that you may want it solely because it's a "Rich Mess". Rich and a purposeful "mess" in composition. Rich Mess, a luxury NYC brand established by Ryan Richmond, brings disruption and messiness (in the best possible way). Rich Mess Eau de Parfum is new to LUXSB. This fragrance is perfect for your wardrobe and great for Fall/Winter.

Rich Mess is a leather woody unisex composition, modern, sexy, exciting, and unpredictable.  Top notes of grapefruit, bergamot, and fig are reminiscent of bubbly champagne. Then the fragrance's heart comes into view with saffron, sandalwood, and vanilla notes. Atlas cedar, leather, and spicy lilies add a hint of oriental, wood, and freshness. The overall effect is complex: lightly green as is warm. 

This niche is a balanced unisex composition. A hint of sensual saltiness with an unexpected floral element lends to the total effect of Rich Mess.

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 vanilla 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.

'Tis the season for celebrations and gatherings. Being with those we love and sharing the warmth and wonder that we wish would last the entire year. When preparing for those festive affairs, fragrance is high on the list of both gifting and what to wear. The right scent sends out all the positive vibes. One spritz of a favorite scent changes the mood from blah or meh to "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" in mere minutes. The intensely powerful connection between scent and mood cannot be denied. During this hectic time of year, the perfect scent can make a huge impact.  

What scents will make your next gathering merrier and brighter?  What will leave onlookers and guests in awe wondering "Where can I buy it? "

A few selections that are destined to be on the holiday repeat list are well-known faves and a few niche offerings. When it's time to dress to the nines and you need a fragrance to deliver drama, one scent to reach for is from the house of Montale. Starry Nights is a gorgeous amber floral concoction that is not shy, but bold and heady. This scent is perfect for when you want a distinctive trail to follow wherever you're going, with a beautiful sillage. Sometimes we want someone to notice what we are wearing. Skin scents just don't carry the same weight as it comes to sillage. This scent offers a classic elegance that harkens to days of Hollywood and femininity. It feels very dressed up and ready for the evening's festivities. 

Another equally lush fragrance is the Montale Dark Vanilla. If you love vanilla and live for a gourmand and a certain sophistication of notes, this decadent Fall/Winter friendly blend is certain to be a hit for the holiday party season. It is also perfect for cozy, quiet nights by the fireside.  This is not your average Vanilla. Intoxicating notes of spice, leather, Cambodian Oud, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, and amber create a scent with depth and fullness. Sillage is moderate to heavier. This fragrance is just as at home with an ugly Christmas Sweater and sneaks as a dress or evening shoes.  

The designer favorites that work so well with a variety of settings are go-to's for their versatility. They are day-to-night heroes that have found a place in many of our vanities. First is Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium. The deep, rich seductive scent is a gourmand with notes of coffee for that added touch of mystery and intrigue. The sweetness of vanilla and caramel balances the more robust notes in a very alluring way. It is a multi-generational smash hit perfume since its launch in 2014, an instant must-have scent, and probably should be on Santa's all-important Wish List this year.

Yves Saint Laurent's Mon Paris is a chypre floral that captures the essence of Paris in full bloom. Gourmand and floral in composition, notes of strawberry,, raspberry, pear, and tangerine accompany jasmine sambac, peony, and orange blossom. Patchouli's earthy woody element in the base notes is a chypre staple. The elegance and beauty of a well-made chypre make Mon Paris ideal for evening wear. It is a year-round fragrance with mass appeal. 

Let scent inspire you this holiday season and through the new year with LUXSB as your one-stop fragrance service. We carry the very best scents in niche and designer and bring the convenience of fragrance subscription to your mailbox. Our top-tier selections are a delightfully fragrant assortment that will wow the most discerning noses. 

It's the holiday season already and this year in particular, more and more of us are ready to hit the roads and skies and ditch the hum drum pandemic lifestyle. If you have already booked your flight or vacation adventure, you're certainly not alone. Packing your bags is sometimes a stressful process, making sure not to leave anything really important behind. Plus, family and friends await your arrival. And if you are a perfume or cologne wearer, it is absolutely important to not forget the fragrances. 

The main question is, how to pack fragrance for a safe journey? Small mistakes leave quite a mess, plus disappointment. Replacing an entire full size on the flight is certainly not what you signed up for.  And a favorite fragrance could be a niche or hard to find.  This is not easy fix, especially with limited time and opportunities to go shopping. And holidays are known for potential shipping delays, replacing something like a special scent is just not feasible in many cases. 

Some confusion may also occur over how large can my fragrance be in order to be TSA-ready for flight security procedures. No one would want to have their precious fragrances confiscated because of a misunderstanding. But it happens often, leaving the traveller without perfume. 

How To Make Travel With Fragrances Easier

First, make sure that the larger size bottle lid is closed securely and airtight. Check for any leaks or cracks. Then place the bottle in bubble wrapping (shipping and packaging material) or between thick, fluffy towels. Better yet, if you happen to have the original box or a suitable replacement, use that instead. The box adds that extra layer of protection during transit. Place the bottle or box in a plastic bag. During your trip, check on the bottle periodically until you've reached your destination. Try not to place the bottle in direct contact with anything made of hard plastic or heavy objects that can slide into or fall onto your container. It would be best to keep your bottle with lighter items such as garments. Give your scent less of a chance to move about by using a separate section in your luggage designated for the bottle or box. 

Take A Smaller Amount of Fragrance Along 

Due to TSA requirements of no more than 3.4 ounces of fragrance, or a large full size, it is a good idea to take smaller amounts of scent along on a trip. It lessens the chance that your bottle with less volume of scent left is taken by security. It is not a good thing to have too much space inside your container. For this reason, consider using a portable atomizer or travel sizes of scents. If your trip is extended, the opportunity to have access to different choices of fragrance is there. And the smaller atomizer lessens any risk of spills or bottle breaks during your flight. Those bags sometimes take lots of wear and tear in cargo. And even a carry-on may see extra shuffling around or light tossing from the upper cargo hold compartment to your intended destination. Not to mention connecting flights and racing to get from place to place. 

LUXSB Is The Perfect Solution For Safe Travel With Fragrance

So you don't have any travel sizes and you're planning for that holiday flight or travel after the hustle and bustle of the season is over. Don't worry, we got you!

And if you are on a road trip, the travel sizes are less bulky and one less thing to leave behind.  If you happen to lose one, it is economical, too. 

Fall has made its debut. Everything about the holiday season speaks brightness, sparkle, optimism, and cheer. Including the scents that leave an impact on our moods and our lives. Fragrance is just that powerful in the way it transcends limitations and tells a story all its own. It also adds a touch of excitement or comfort whenever you need that extra boost or lift. During the spring and summer months, the royal standard of all floral notes is the rose. From ancient times to royal aristocracy, the rose has held court as "Queen of the Flowers".  As beautiful as enchanting, rose scents are everywhere this year. Some names are legendary and unforgettable while others are niche houses with a more edgy approach. The beauty of rose is that it truly never goes out of style and can be worn all-year-round. Perfumers have played with various forms of this note for centuries. Plus, the varieties of roses will leave you spellbound, from Turkish rose to rose centifolia. The more exotic the rose, the highest quality of rose absolute.  A stately rose perfume transcends age, generations, and trends. Here are a few suggestions to add to your fragrance wardrobe. 

Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif is composed with Turkish rose that portrays sensuality, freshness and luxury. The floral oriental creation opens with fruits of pear, lychee and grapefruit. A heart with a bouquesr or Damascena rose paired with incense and vetiver. A base with a tempting vanilla and musk. A luminous scent with the finest ingredients.

Dolce Rose by Dolce & Gabbana is from the Dolce series of perfumes. The beautiful red frosted bottle features an ever so-cute and vanity worthy rose shaped cap. This floral musk features notes of rose absolute, rose centifolia and sweet red currants. The fragrance celebrates iconic florals symbolizing love, beauty and feminity. 

Roses de Chloe is an ode to a walk down the Parisian rose gardens. Green, crisp, and fresh, this rose is anything but old fashioned. It has everything you would look for in a modern rose scent. The overall effect is lightly soapy, not too sweet, tamed by the presence of green and woodsy notes. This lovely blend features notes of damask rose, litchi, berganot, tarragon, lemon, magnolia, cedar, apple, black currant, peach, white musk, amber, and woods. Chloe' is a designer house that speaks quality and high standards in fragrance as well as fashion.  

Dawn Rown by Faîr Parfum is an ethical and cruelty free fragrance option. A brand that is one of the last remaining completely hand-crafted perfumeries in the world. Made in Grasse, France. Sensual with top notes of pomelo, a radiant rose unleashing feminity and heart with clode and vetiver. The base has notes of patchouli and suede inspiring you to do whatever it takes to make your hopes and dreams your reality.

Nonchalant by ILK is a rich with a passionate French rose laced with tart red berries, playful violets and succulent orange flesh. Completed by a heady fusion of brandy, chypre, spice and balsamic.

Can you believe that Autumn is already here? It's that time of the year for pumpkin spice everything and gorgeous fall/winter fragrance arrivals. Fall scents are known for being as invigorating and cozy. It is a new sensation, one that is an annual tradition, yet is always fresh and inviting. Scents are a great way to bring this soothing feeling wherever you go. Almost everybody wants to know how to update their fragrance wardrobe for fall-ready comforting energy. The rules for Fall/Winter have changed, not so hard fast and adapt to your personal flair. A few tips for making your choices for Fall scents super easy and less time-consuming. 

1. Don't Toss Out Your Clean, Fresh Citrus Scents

Fall fragrance is not completely defined by deep, dark, or richer components. Sometimes it is okay to let the lighter, clean or citrusy scents have their days in the crisp Autumn breeze. The aromatic fragrances will impart a clean aesthetic that reminds us of brighter summer days and often better weather as the temperatures begin to decent and the sun begins to set earlier. The sometimes heady top notes will fade away after application, leaving behind their trademark freshness and clean smell. These herbal, soapy, uplifting notes are always appropriate and never out of season. 

2. Go For the Spicier Side of Life 

Like our addictions to pumpkin spice or cinnamon notes for latte consumption, spices are all the rage for Fall/Autumn. Spices, warm woods, gourmands, and baking spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove are go-to for Fall/Winter scents. A few reasons spices are the right choice include a natural warmth, longevity, and sillage. These deeper and heavier notes add heft and staying power to the scent, as either heart or base notes. Those notes at the bottom of the pyramid tend to linger more, waft, and cut through cooler weather.  Spicier scents are often in the oriental category but could also be found in woody scents, chypres, and fougeres. Often considered to be sensual, glamourous, heavier, or for evening use, they pack a potent punch to those overcast crisp fall nights and perhaps daytime wear. 

3. Like a Good Recipe, Don't Forget the Vanilla 

Just like your grandma's delicious baked goods recipes, don't forget to add a splash (or more) vanilla to your fragrance wardrobe. According to surveys, vanilla is one of the most loved scents in the world, and for great reason. Vanilla is a featured gourmand note in many favorite niche and designer scents. It is part of the oriental or floriental family, but could show up as a wild card note in compositions to add warmth. The richness and elegance of this spice are as old as perfumery itself.  It is equally as lovely on both men and women. Vanilla has many sides and dimensions, from rich and boozy to gentle and cozy, so don't be afraid to try this note. You will be pleasantly surprised by its versatility and mood-enhancing power. 

4. Opulent and Grandious Ouds 

Ouds will add a touch of Old World elegance with a modern aesthetic for a fall/winter selection. Ouds have been used since ancient times to perfume the well-to-do in society who could afford this expensive resin. Now it is accessible to many as niche and designer brands alike turn to oud to elevate blends. it is considered a luxurious, high-quality addition to orientals and woody scents. Oud is often the main base note in niche lines with many choices available. Oud often appears in compositions with florals, which are considered florientals. This means that oud is user-friendly to women as well as men, and will be a wonderful addition to your wardrobe this autumn.

5. Buy A Travel Size From LUXSB 

Sometimes it is so tempting to go with a website's fragrance description and buy a full-size bottle of fragrance sight unseen. This would probably not be the ideal way to explore fragrance, because words (like looks) could be particularly deceptive. Buying your next Fall/Winter fragrance from LUXSB's fragrance subscription service is the best way to get a scent into your hands and try it out without any buyer's remorse. Our 9ml size is generous as LUXSB is one of the largest sizes available in a perfume subscription. More than ample to test notes and families that may have been on your radar.  What if a niche line that just debuted a new addition sounds incredible? Playing and experimenting is much easier when the purchase is a fraction of the price of a 1.7oz or 3.4oz bottle.  Sampling and the ease of travel and portability are here at your fingers with our extensive list of fragrances that only get better over time and bottles that take the scent from your home to airports, hotels, and AirBNBs.
