Carolina Herrera's Lunar Lover, introduced last year, is back for 2025 — the Year of the Snake. Same scent, same bottle, new charm. "This vibrant scent contains mesmerizing notes of red hibiscus at its heart. Top notes of red tea awaken the fire within, while cedarwood grounds the scent with its warm and woody facets." At Macy's, $185 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum. (And they still have the 2024 Dragon in stock should you need one.)
From Lolita Lempicka, Le Parfum in the annual holiday limited edition: "Le Parfum is one of those famous fragrances whose perfume is instantly recognizable. A gourmet and ultra-sensual accord of licorice and violet sublimated by a surprising note of anise, voluptuously highlighted by a cloud of musk. Surrounded by its garland of ivy leaves, enamelled in white and gold, the famous apple is adorned by a heart pierced with an arrow on a golden liquorice wood. To celebrate Christmas, Lolita Lempicka offers every year a new decor to its iconic bottle. These limited editions invite us to discover new chapters in the fairytale." At Lolita Lempicka, €117 for 100 ml.
