Whether you're seeking the comfort of gourmand warmth or the revitalising punch of citrus zest, these launches span the spectrum and we are excited.
Soapsmith
Dulwich Soap, £10
Soapsmith's latest scent takes its cue from 967AD, when Dulwich was known as Dilwysshe – ’meadow where the dill grew'. A mossy, tart-green blend of dill, cardamom and oakwood creates a distinctly grounding fragrance that feels both historical and refreshingly modern.
L'Occitane
Almond Candle, £42
The cult Almond Shower Oil finally gets its olfactory home companion. This candle captures the same delicate, creamy scent that has garnered legions of devotees, allowing you to envelope your interiors in its comforting embrace.
Jo Loves
Amber Lime And Bergamot Bath And Body Collection, from £37
Consider this your new year palette cleanser. Zesty lime and bergamot meet golden amber with a subtle whisper of woods and spices. The duo of Bath & Shower Gel and Body Lotion injects much-needed sunshine into winter mornings. Available from 2 January.
Merit
Great Skin Double Cleanse Travel (50ml), £14
An effective bi-phase cleanser that refuses to compromise winter skin. Oat extract soothes whilst plant-derived humectants replenish hydration, and PHAs deliver gentle daily exfoliation for a brightness boost. The answer to dry, dull winter complexions. Available from 2 January
Coraline Skincare
Skin Treatment Candle, £27.95
This ingenious hybrid from the independent, vegan brand uses only certified organic and wild-harvest ingredients. Wild myrica wax from the Andes is hand-blended with organic plant butters and essential oils, melting into a warm, velvety balm that instantly soothes chapped skin.
DUA by AB
Renewal Cream, £60
Dua Lipa partners with Augustinus Bader to harness their patented TFC5 complex of peptides, proteins and antioxidants in a three-step line. Designed for younger skin with a more accessible price point than the signature collection, it may not guarantee superstar radiance - but it's certainly worth a shot.
Ouai
Santorini Hair & Body Fragrance Mist, £26
A bottled dose of vitamin-sunshine. This hair and body mist transports you to Greece's legendary party island with peach, orange, honeysuckle and amber. Sweet, warm and perfectly priced for gym bags or teenage perfume collections, it's the ultimate deep-winter pick-me-up.
Loewe
Roasted Vanilla, £365
A slow maceration process draws out the deepest warmth from vanilla beans rather than saccharine sweetness. Rich oakwood depth meets a sparkling burst of pink pepper in this grown-up gourmand. Not your typical caramel vanilla - this is quietly addictive luxury.
Acqua di Parma
Gelsomino A Freddo, £205
Ready to retire deep winter fragrances? This launch uses traditional cold enfleurage to extract the purest jasmine essence. Renowned perfumer Daphne Bugey creates a complex blend, layering in Italian citrus top notes and a warm heart of Guaiac wood and patchouli. Another instant classic.
