We dream of summer long before the first rays of the solstice. Juliette Has a Gun just launched a new scent that will leave us summertime dreaming and basking in the sunset's glorious colors. What happens when the vibrancy and energy of 70's freedom comes together under an evening sunset on the beach? Magnolia Bliss of course, a floral fruity composition with a blend of Magnolia essence, a juicy Mirabelle Plum and a fresh Bergamot Essence that explores the power of love, peace, and endless summer fun in the sun. I'd take a combination of any or all of those in my life right now please, and thank you! Juliette Has A Gun is a favorite niche line and Magnolia Bliss is just one of the many reasons why this house has become a modern classic and go to for those with a flair for exotic scent combinations.

Magnolia Bliss (2022) is Juliette Has a Gun's latest offering. Its release coincides with a time that many are planning for a first adventure after a long pandemic season. There is no better way to celebrate and share exuberant and joyful energy than with this perfectly blended summer-centric scent with notes of fresh bergamot essense, magnolia essence, juicy mirabelle plum, and Juliette Has a Gun's signature amber-musk base. The notion of "Peace in a bottle" is one that reminds us that scent can take you wherever you'd like to be. Far or near, or on an endless vacation. 

Magnolia Bliss's glass bottle looks as interesting and glorious on your counter as the fragrance itself. Colors in an ombre that mimic sunset skies are connected in the scent's theme with etched designs of magnolia flanked on either side. The bottle is a conversation piece, whimsical and inspired by the thought of summer's boundless freedom and the peace that can be found.

Meet the new niche in the lineup: MEMO Paris. You'll fall head over heels in amour with this glamorous line and the high quality natural ingredients that create each and every fragrance in the Parisian house. The motto of MEMO is "The journey is the destination" with notes building the signature of your path. There is an olfactory experience that comes through in the artistry and creative noses of the founders of MEMO, John and Clara Molloy. The founder, met on a chair lift in 2005, between the sky and earth, between two worlds, in that weightless space that brings out one's daring side and broadens horizons. It wasn't long before they decided to set off together on a long-distance journey. It would be a creative journey, establishing MEMO Paris in 2007. The brand prides itself on exotic raw materials and fragrances inspired by globetrotting travels to far- away locales. Another signature is the timeless quality that spans years and creates lasting memories. Get inspired by MEMO Paris and our new launches at LUXSB perfume subscription: Irish Leather, Sintra, Tamarindo, and African Leather.

Scent selection is not always an easy feat, even for the most trained and complex of frag fans and noses. What may sound really sweet, delicate, and yummy may also include elements of another note or fragrance family that turn into a stronger, bitter, richer, or deeper blend. Or a unisex scent may have notes that lean strongly toward masculine or feminine. Take heart. This is a really normal experience.  Whether we made a blind buy leaning into the brand's description only or bought a full size after only a few magical moments after first spray. We've all been there.   It is important to have an open mind when exploring scent, but also make it a little easier to sort out the complexity of the notes that comprise many niche and designer houses. Here at LUXSB, we want to simplify this journey with you! 

LUXSB Fragrance Library

We made it a little less complicated by separating scents into fragrance families and there is a section for this on the website.  It will help identify notes by their similarities. This could help someone who prefers a specific smell find just the right perfume or cologne. And also eliminate part of the ease of mixing up the meaning of terms.  Example: sweet versus gourmand which could be a little warmer or even heavy depending on which ones. Or citrus versus woodsy or earthy or clean.  If you know that florals aren't your thing, try to steer toward scents with more citrusy or woodsy elements. If you crave sweet smells, decide whether you fancy fun, bright, and sweet like bubble gum, sugared notes, soda pop, cotton candy or cozy , dark, or syrupy sweet like vanilla, bourbon, tonka bean, or caramel.  If you like something more earthy, herbaceous or green, look for more of an herbal composition (notes of patchouli, lavender, rosemary, mint, basil, pine, or thyme) .  If you just don't like traditional heavier men's colognes, try not to buy base note heavy scents with majority of deeper, woodsy notes. Maybe go adventurous with unique niche scents that surprise and explore more abstract meaning of perfumery or discover unisex  blends made with a more fluid approach to blending women's and men's into a modern mashup. 

The scent's description alone could be really misleading because of the notes simply listed. Like a beautifully written romance novel, notes are often represented in a way that takes a life of their own. Or like a character in a movie. They attract, slay, kill, strut, and leave you wanting more.  They wow and inspire us to feel and sense the beauty and urgency to purchase me, fall in love with me. Just remember to read along and take a look at the scent notes and fragrance families that may accompany the very attractive description. If any of those are off-putting or hard no's, maybe look for another perfume. The protagonist of this scent storyline may be meant for another. It's another interesting and confusing part of wearing niche scents. They are complex as the noses that create them. 

We also have categories for cruelty-free, unique scents, masculine or feminine, occassion, and scent families. We tried to make the process for fragrance choosing easy. But in the end, this unique and exciting adventure in the world of designer and niche fragrances is yours to conquer! If your still unsure, reach out to one of our fragrance specialist that can help in guiding you through the process in discovering the perfect scent with Luxury Scent Box.
