2024's Biggest Fragrance Trends Include Unexpected Vanilla Scents and Modern Body Mists

 The fragrance trends of 2023 were truly diverse and exciting. From rain scents and desert gourmands in the summer to vanilla, woody, and saffron perfumes in the fall, there was something for everyone. As the holidays approached, spruce fragrances and sugary, spicy notes took center stage. This year, get ready for an equally dynamic range of scents, from honey-infused eau de parfums to modern body mists. Stay ahead of the game by learning from three fragrance experts about what's in store for 2024 and what you should have in your fragrance collection.

Unexpected Gourmand Scents

This year, get ready for a whole new take on gourmand scents. According to Boyce, these fragrances will be a breath of fresh air, moving away from the overly sweet and syrupy options of the past. Instead, we can expect rich and multifaceted scents that can be worn on their own or layered with others. It's an exciting expansion of this category, offering versatility like never before.

Guggenbuhl agrees, noting that these unexpected gourmand scents are taking common ingredients, such as vanilla, to new heights. Take Tom Ford's Vanilla Sex, for example. It combines velvety vanilla with less sticky caramel, honey, sandalwood, and tonka, creating a truly elevated fragrance experience. Another standout is Chris Collins' Sweet Taboo Eau de Parfum, which features intoxicating notes of vanilla, cardamom, cacao, coffee, and tonka bean. It's a scent that you won't be able to resist spraying over and over.

And let's not forget about Noteworthy Scents n,144, recommended by Boyce. This fragrance is a beautiful blend of citrusy sweetness, reminiscent of a delectable dessert. With these new interpretations of gourmand scents, there's something for everyone to indulge in.

Honey is set to be a major trend in 2024, with Boyce predicting it will drive the fragrance category to new heights. She describes honey as a versatile note that can be combined with other scents to create a wide range of possibilities, from rich and deep to playful and light. One standout honey fragrance to check out is Beyoncé's Cé Noir Eau de Parfum, recommended by Arps for its perfect balance of sweetness with clementine and the luxurious touch of Namibian myrrh.

Wellness-Focused Fragrances

The relationship between our emotional well-being and scent has been widely acknowledged for a long time. This connection, which many people are unaware of, is something that I constantly emphasize. According to Arps, our sense of smell has the power to evoke thoughts, memories, and emotions. It is important to note that aromachology, unlike aromatherapy, focuses on studying how odors affect our mood and emotions. While the two fields share similarities, aromachology does not view scent as an "active ingredient," treatment, or cure. Instead, it examines the impact of fragrances on the mind and takes into consideration synthetic compounds.

Wellness-Focused Fragrances

Boyce and Arps are confident that the wellness-focused fragrance category is poised for continuous growth. With Moodeaux Worthy IntenScenual Eau de Parfum ($98), Arps has crafted a scent that embodies the comforting embrace of a hug in a bottle. This warm and captivating blend of citrus, floral, and woodsy notes interacts harmoniously with the body's natural pheromones, creating a truly unique and unforgettable fragrance experience.

Crisp, Citrusy Scents 

Citrus scents have always been a timeless favorite, and their popularity shows no signs of fading. The versatility of crisp, citrus fragrances ensures that they will remain in style for years to come. Looking ahead to 2024, we can expect citrus scents to evolve and become even more captivating. The depth and complexity of these fragrances will continue to grow, making them irresistible and long-lasting.

In recent times, there has been a delightful twist to citrus scents. The new generation of citrus notes offers a sweeter, more indulgent experience. Imagine the mouthwatering aroma of a gourmand lemon pie, with its candied and fruity essence. These scents are prismatic and fluid, adding a touch of luxury to your fragrance collection. 

The future of citrus fragrances will feature refreshing lemon, mandarin orange, and fresh-cut lime, combined with delicate white florals. This combination creates a harmonious blend that is both invigorating and elegant. Additionally, ginger will play a role in expressing these citrus scents, adding a hint of spice and warmth.

Crisp, Citrusy Scents

Embrace the allure of citrus fragrances and experience the captivating journey they offer. With their evolving complexity and irresistible charm, they are sure to become a staple in your fragrance collection.

Arps believes that the citrus fragrance they have created strikes the perfect balance between freshness and warmth. According to her, it's important for a citrus scent to have a slightly warmer undertone to avoid smelling like a household cleaner. She recommends trying out Phlur Tangerine Boy Eau de Parfum ($99) and Zodica Perfumery Leo Crystal Infused Zodiac Perfume ($110) to experience this well-rounded expression for yourself.

Modern Body Mists

Perfume body mists have made a comeback, reminiscent of the popular body sprays from the '90s and early 2000s. However, this time they are even better, with more intricate scents and longer-lasting effects. According to Guggenbuhl, the next generation is embracing body mists as a subtle and accessible way to enjoy fragrances. These modern versions are not only lightweight but also boast a sophisticated and complex twist.

Sol de Janeiro is dominating this category, with their Brazilian Crush Cheirosa'40 Bom Dia Hair & Body Fragrance Mist being a top favorite among consumers. The rise to TikTok stardom and approval from Gen-Z has solidified their position as a leader in the market. Other fragrance brands have followed suit, but Sol de Janeiro continues to set the bar high with their affordable yet sophisticated blends.

Modern Body Mists

Arps' top picks also include the delightful Skylar Coconut Cove Hair and Body Mist ($30), a timeless coconut fragrance infused with a hint of citrus that instantly transports individuals to the sandy shores of the beach. Additionally, the Ellis Brooklyn Peaches Fragrance Body Mist ($48) is another favorite of hers. She highlights that if you have an affinity for peach scents, this one is sure to captivate your senses. It offers a straightforward yet alluring twist with a touch of flirty musk.

Smoke and Tobacco

Experience the captivating allure of smoke and tobacco in the world of fragrances. Embrace the mystery and sophistication that these notes bring to scents. As Guggenbuhl suggests, indulge in high-quality fragrances with smoky tobacco textures, such as Arquiste L'Or de Louis ($245), for a unique and luxurious olfactory experience.

Not all tobacco scents are just smoky. Some have a touch of sweetness. If you're looking for a fragrance in this category, Kayali Oudgasm Tobacco Oud 04 Eau de Parfum Intense ($140) is the one to go for. It combines the richness of oud with citrus, spices, and honeyed tobacco, creating a perfectly balanced and heavenly scent. Another excellent choice for a smoky tobacco fragrance is Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum Fragrance ($295), known for its ability to captivate and leave people in awe.

Elevated Florals

Floral fragrances have long been a staple in the industry, but according to Arps, it's time for a disruption in the floral category. The younger generation of perfume wearers no longer wants to smell like their mothers or grandmothers. They crave scents that are bold and unconventional, yet surprisingly captivating. Arps recommends the Future Society Haunted Rose Eau de Parfum, priced at $98. This innovative brand has managed to incorporate the DNA of extinct flowers into their fragrances. The Haunted Rose scent combines the rare macrostylis villosa subspecies 1 and 2 with the unexpected notes of black pepper and passion fruit, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind fragrance.

Elevated Florals

Experience a delightful blend of floral and fruity scents in 2024. Indulge in the luxurious Fragrance Du Bois Brume Du Matin ($345) with hints of mandarin, violet, and jasmine. For more options, consider Florence by Mills Wildly Me and Oscar De La Renta Bella Tropicale.
