“… If the Dazed girls say it goes, it goes,” beamed Bella Hadid last year while launching her then-new beauty venture Ôrəbella (pronounced “aura-bella”), as the Dazed team shared our favourites from its inaugural line of fragrances (Blooming Fire was the unanimous choice). Now, landing just in time for summer, Hadid is adding Body and Hair Perfume Mists to the mix. “With these Perfume Mists, I wanted to create something expressive and free,” she says. “They’re designed to move with you, to be sprayed generously, layered intuitively, and revisited throughout the day.”
Born to a Palestinian father and Dutch mother, Hadid has often spoken about drawing on her heritage within her work. This was the case with the original fragrance launch: “[These scents are] an ode to everybody, every person, every feeling and every emotion in my life,” she said. This time around there are three scents in the new line-up, all of which looked to nature for inspiration. First off, there’s Gardenia’s Whisper, a soft-focus floral with notes that include rhubarb, nectarine and bergamot, then jasmine and gardenia, before drying down into vanilla and cashmere wood. Second is Nectar Dew, with fig, pear nectar and citrus cut through by peony and freesia. Finally, Golden Brûlée is the sweetest option, a mix of plum, warm spice, tobacco leaf and vanilla.
Housed in custom packaging inspired by crystals and geodes, the new drop builds on the world of the original collection without straying too far from its roots. The formulas also stick to Ôrəbella’s signature bi-phase approach, meaning wearers are encouraged to “shake to activate” before spraying onto skin or hair. Aside from hair perfumes and mists, elsewhere brands were dropping and restocking across make-up, skincare and hair products. Read on to see more of the best beauty launches from this month.

Inspired by French classicism and Art Deco minimalism, CELINE’s Beauté Lip Balms are an extension of the popular Le Rouge CELINE. The product is available in eight different shades, each with equally chic names: standouts are Constance, Eurydice and Phedre.

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Le Labo is marking the moment with The Essence of Slow Perfumery, a coffee table book written by Deborah Royer. Framed around the idea of “slow perfumery,” it brings together essays, imagery and reflections that explore what’s shaped the brand over two decades. We hope it’s scratch-and-sniff.

The shinier the better over at Givenchy, where the latest launch sees Prisme Libre Highlighter Powder teamed with the new Perfecto Serum Lip Oil as part of its #1min2glow routine. Designed for instant payoff, the duo brings a bright hit of glow to the complexion while adding a plumping, glossy sheen to lips.

The latest from skincare giant Dr Barbara Sturm, these Everything Bronzing Drops are the newest addition to the Everything Collection. A glow enhancer designed to be mixed, layered or worn solo, they deliver a soft, sun-kissed finish. Essentially bottling that “just got back from somewhere sunny” look, even if you didn’t leave your desk.

Known for their mood-enhancing scents, Vyrao drops a spin-off with its new Cream Scent – a hand and neck moisturiser that doubles as fragrance. Designed around the brand’s “Energy is Everything” ethos, each version is infused with one of Vyrao’s neuroscents. The Dazed team keeps these on hand for deadline season

Malin+Goetz teams up with Brain Dead for a limited-edition trio – candle, supercandle and perfume oil. Titled Frontier Nostalgia, Interstellar Edge, the collaboration reworks the brand’s cult Leather scent. With robin’s egg blue wax and Brain Dead’s signature graphics, it’s a product that smells and looks good, what more do you need?

Keeping things fresh is Jo Malone London, as it adds to its English Pear collection with a new Hair Mist, available in both English Pear & Freesia and English Pear & Sweet Pea. Enriched with argan kernel oil and pro-vitamin B5, the lightweight formula adds a soft touch of shine while leaving hair lightly fragranced. Those busy morning commutes packed into train carriages are about to smell a lot nicer.
