From Guerlain's reimagined L'Heure Bleue to Amouage's 42% extraits and Dior's restored classics, the 8 new perfumes worth knowing in the UAE this October. The October Fragrance Edit: 8 New Scents on Our Radar From Guerlain's reimagined L'Heure Bleue to Amouage's 42% extraits and Dior's restored classics, the 8 new perfumes worth knowing in the UAE this October. by Sara Al Farsi 17 Oct 2026 October is giving us plenty of reasons to make room on the fragrance shelf. Summer citruses step back, and the richer, more considered launches arrive. Guerlain revisits a century-old classic, Dior brings some of its most iconic scents back into focus, and Amouage takes intensity to another level. Elsewhere, familiar favourites get unexpected twists, and a few new names are making a case for your next signature scent. Whether you're after something for everyday wear, cooler evenings or an early gifting find, these are the new perfumes worth knowing about this month. 1. Guerlain L'Heure Bleue Guerlain chose Dubai for the unveiling, taking over the Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal. Jacques Guerlain first created L'Heure Bleue in 1912 after an evening walk across the Pont-Neuf, trying to capture the moment the Paris sky turns deep blue. More than a century later, Delphine Jelk, Guerlain's Director of Fragrance Creation, has reimagined it for a new generation. The new version opens with a cool ozonic accord, like the first breath of evening air. Iris and orange blossom bring softness at the heart, built around an exclusive iris tincture that took three years to develop. Vanilla and Ambroxan then settle into a warm, skin-close finish. It comes in a modern take on the original inverted-heart bottle, shaded from pale to midnight blue. Price: AED 495 (Eau de Parfum, 50ml); also AED 355 (30ml) and AED 720 (100ml) Shop: L'Heure Bleue 2. Amouage Decision 42 and Overture 41 Amouage isn't holding back on intensity this season. The Omani house has taken two of its best-loved scents, pushed them to 42 and 41 per cent concentration respectively, then aged them for six weeks before bottling. Decision 42, by Quentin Bisch, layers frankincense, myrrh and pink pepper over vanilla and labdanum. Overture 41, by Annick Ménardo, leans into saffron, calvados and rose. Both are dense, slow-burning and made for evenings. One spray is plenty. Price: AED 2,150 each (Extrait de Parfum, 100ml) Shop: Decision 42 | Overture 41 3. Dior Diorama (Dioriginals) Perfumes change over time as ingredients and regulations shift, and Francis Kurkdjian, Dior's Perfume Creation Director, has spent years putting that right. Dioriginals revisits 13 of the house's most celebrated fragrances, from Diorissimo and Diorella to Dune, bringing their original olfactory identities back into focus. All presented in the 1948 bottle that held Christian Dior's first creations. Our pick? Diorama. Created by Edmond Roudnitska in 1949, it was only the second fragrance the house ever made: a chypre that plays bright florals against warm spices, with the polish of a couture gown. It is a piece of perfume history, and it smells nothing like anything else on the counter right now. Price: AED 685 (Eau de Toilette, 100ml) Shop: The full Dioriginals collection 4. Bvlgari Allegra Baciami Ancora "Baciami ancora" means "kiss me again" in Italian, and this is the more intense, Parfum-strength version of Bvlgari Allegra's Baciami. Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier has kept the same pairing of creamy gardenia and vanilla absolute, then turned both up: the gardenia is fuller, and the vanilla is darker and slightly fiery. Cedarwood and black pepper keep it from becoming too sweet, while Peru balsam, cinnamon and a touch of ginger add warmth. The signature red bottle takes on a deeper, velvet-toned finish. Layer it with Bvlgari's Magnifying Musk for a softer, closer-to-skin version. Price: AED 1,519 (Parfum, 100ml) Shop: Baciami Ancora 5. YSL Beauty LIBRE Santal Couture LIBRE finally has a woody side. This limited couture edition is the first floral woody scent in the LIBRE family, and it keeps the signature French lavender and orange blossom, then sinks them into warm sandalwood. The sharp edges of the original soften into something creamier and closer to the skin. And with gifting season approaching, the glossy brown couture bottle makes a convincing case for picking it up early. Price: AED 620 (Eau de Parfum, 50ml) Shop: LIBRE Santal Couture 6. Maison Margiela Scentsorium, Chapter 1: Blaze of Stillness The one for anyone who finds most launches a little obvious. Margiela's Scentsorium is a set of six genderless parfums built the way the house builds clothes: ingredients are pulled apart, studied and put back together. Chapter 1, Blaze of Stillness, pairs orange blossom absolute with a fig accord and soft suede, and smells like a bright morning in a good leather jacket. It isn't cheap and it isn't loud, but it is a real conversation piece. Start with the 30ml if you're curious rather than committed. Price: AED 1,650 (Eau de Parfum, 75ml); AED 895 (30ml) Shop: Blaze of Stillness 7. BOSS Bottled Beyond Eau de Toilette Intense Proof that a big-name men's line can still surprise. BOSS has taken last year's Bottled Beyond and turned it up, pairing orange blossom absolute with leather for an intense eau de toilette that feels polished rather than heavy. It's a strong gifting contender for the man who knows exactly what he likes: familiar enough to feel like an easy choice, but different enough to earn a place in his regular rotation. Price: AED 565 (Eau de Toilette Intense, 100ml) Shop: Bottled Beyond EDT Intense 8. Bentley Become Odyssey The newest chapter in Bentley's Become collection, after Become and Become Zenith, is all about the open road. Perfumers Pierre Gueros and Alexandra Carlin open it with bright bergamot and fresh ginger, then add black pepper and a tea accord at the heart. The base of vetiver, creamy sandalwood and musk gives it staying power without weight, so it works as well on a warm October afternoon as it does at night. The sculptural bottle comes in soft, sand-toned gradients. Price: AED 390.65 (Eau de Parfum, 100ml) Shop: Become Odyssey Looking for more?

How to beat frizz in Dubai's heat and humidity: Softcare Cosmetics experts explain why hair swells, plus the shampoos and serums that keep it smooth. The Anti-Frizz Guide for Hot, Humid Days How to beat frizz in Dubai's heat and humidity: Softcare Cosmetics experts explain why hair swells, plus the shampoos and serums that keep it smooth. by Khadija Husain 20 Aug 2025 By the time you step out into Dubai’s sweltering heat, your hair is already reacting, puffing up, curling out, and resisting any attempt at looking polished. If you struggle with frizz during hot, humid months, you’re not alone. Smooth, manageable hair in high humidity is possible with the right approach. From cleansing and conditioning to lightweight serums and targeted treatments, it’s all about using formulas that hydrate, protect, and tame frizz without weighing hair down. To understand what works in extreme climates like the Gulf, we spoke to Maya Fadel, Deputy General Manager and Brand Manager at Softcare Cosmetics, and Nassim Basma, co-founder of Softcare Cosmetics. With years of experience bringing high-performance, clean beauty formulations to the region, they shared insight into what GCC women really need to fight frizz and dryness. Why Hair Gets Frizzy in the Heat Humidity is the main culprit. In hot, moist air, the hair’s cuticle lifts, allowing moisture to enter and causing strands to swell and misbehave. This is especially noticeable on dry, curly, or chemically treated hair. Nassim Basma explains that the most effective anti-frizz products strike a balance between moisture and cuticle sealing, often using lightweight oils and proteins that smooth hair without weighing it down. Maya Fadel adds that GCC women’s top hair concerns in summer are frizz and dryness, and lightweight, high-performing formulas are particularly valued. Step 1: Start in the Shower with Frizz-Fighting Shampoos The first line of defense against frizz starts in the shower. Sulfate-free shampoos cleanse gently while preserving natural oils, providing a smooth foundation for the rest of your routine. Top picks: Living Proof No Frizz Shampoo – Creates an invisible shield around each strand. Briogeo Farewell Frizz Smoothing Shampoo – A clean formula enriched with rosehip, argan, and coconut oils. S tep 2: Use a Lightweight Leave-In Conditioner A leave-in conditioner softens and hydrates hair without weighing it down. Top picks: Ouai Leave-In Conditioner – Hydrates, detangles, and protects against humidity. Gisou Honey Infused Leave-In Conditioner – Nourishes with sustainably sourced honey. Maya emphasizes that consumers in the GCC prefer lightweight but effective formulas, such as leave-in mists and curl-defining creams, which help keep hair soft and frizz-free even in extreme humidity. Step 3: Lock in Moisture with Anti-Frizz Oils Anti-frizz oils seal the cuticle and add shine. The trick is to choose oils that nourish without leaving hair greasy. Top picks: Lola From Rio Pinga Hair Oil (50ml) – Tames unruly strands while enhancing silky shine. Christophe Robin Monoï Oil – Restores elasticity and shine when used overnight. Nassim highlights a common mistake: people often assume heavier oils will control frizz better. In hot, humid climates, lightweight oils perform best because they fight frizz without causing buildup. Step 4: Always Apply Anti-Frizz Serums on Damp Hair Serums act as armor against humidity. Applying them on damp hair locks in moisture and creates a smooth foundation for styling. Top picks: Lola Xapadinha Disciplinary Balm (200ml) – Controls volume, enhances texture, and blocks frizz. Philip Kingsley Finishing Touch Frizz Fighting Gloss (50ml) – Perfect for finishing and taming flyaways. Maya notes that clean, natural-origin formulations are highly valued. Products that combine gentle ingredients with visible results meet the demands of GCC consumers seeking both efficacy and safety. Step 5: Use Heat Protectant Before Styling If you’re using hot tools, a heat protectant spray is essential. It prevents moisture loss and keeps the cuticle sealed. Try: VIRTUE Frizz Block Spray – Lightweight and non-greasy for daily use. KÉRASTASE Discipline Anti Frizz Spray – Anti-frizz protection spray instantly eases blow-dry with heat protection up to 180°C for fine to coarse, unruly hair. Provides shine and control with 72 hours of frizz protection. S tep 6: Style Smart—Humidity-Proof Hairstyles That Work Instead of fighting your hair’s natural texture, work with it: Slicked-back buns or ponytails with a touch of serum Loose braids to control volume without tension Half-up styles for face-framing without adding frizz Accessories like silk scrunchies or hair claws secure hair without causing damage. Step 7: Salon & At-Home Treatments Worth Trying For persistent frizz, deeper treatments can hydrate, smooth, and strengthen hair without harsh chemicals: Dermadrop – Non-invasive infusion delivering active ingredients deep into the scalp and hair. Hair Botox (Formaldehyde-Free) – Fills damaged areas of the hair shaft, leaving it smoother and healthier. Cysteine Hair Treatment – A gentler alternative to keratin, softening hair without compromising volume. Gloss or Glaze Treatment – Semi-permanent shine treatment that seals the cuticle and adds vibrancy. Nassim explains that treatments using natural, climate-tested ingredients are most effective, performing consistently even in the Gulf’s heat and humidity. Tropical-inspired butters and lightweight oils help keep hair soft, smooth, and frizz-free. No matter how humid the summer gets, frizz doesn’t have to win. By combining the right products, lightweight oils and serums, humidity-proof hairstyles, and targeted treatments, you can keep hair smooth, healthy, and effortlessly styled. As Maya Fadel and Nassim Basma highlight, the key lies in formulas that are both effective and lightweight, hydrating and protecting hair without weighing it down. With a thoughtful routine and climate-tested products, frizz can finally become a manageable part of your summer hair story, leaving you free to enjoy the heat without compromising on style.

Clive Christian's new fragrance, Strange Heavens Out of the Blue, hides a panda and channels Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray. The story — and how it smells. Clive Christian’s Panda Perfume Is an Ode to Oscar Wilde Clive Christian's new fragrance, Strange Heavens Out of the Blue, hides a panda and channels Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray. The story — and how it smells. by Khadija Husain 16 Jan 2026 Oscar Wilde once wrote, “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” It’s a line that captures contradiction beautifully, and the tension Wilde understood better than most. That same spirit quietly finds its way into Clive Christian’s latest fragrance, Strange Heavens Out Of The Blue. The reference point isn’t literal, and it doesn’t need to be. Instead, the scent draws inspiration from the mysterious glamour of Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray . Particularly, its dark Victorian atmosphere , built on contrast, mood, and quiet allure. So how does that translate into a fragrance? Let’s skip the technical notes and think in moments instead. It opens like a late-evening coffee—rich, warm, and slightly bitter, with a hint of spicy aniseed adding depth. As it settles, soft jasmine and orange blossom drift in, like catching the scent of a garden through an open window after dusk. Finally, it dries down to something you want to keep close. Vanilla and caramel mixed with cocoa powder and finished with a faint whisper of smoke from a candle just blown out. I t’s the scent left on a sweater after a long, absorbing conversation that stretched late into the night — the kind of fragrance noticed only by those who come close enough. Before you even experience the scent, the bottle makes its case. Painted with a panda by contemporary artist Domingo Zapata, it feels almost irreverent at first glance, and then it clicks. The panda isn’t decorative—it’s symbolic, representing balance and joy. It works as a visual counterpoint to the fragrance’s depth. Where the scent is introspective, the artwork is playful. Together, they create a contrast—one that feels very much of the moment . Fashion has been doing this for years: mixing seriousness with ease, art with humour, polish with personality. In that sense, t he bottle becomes a tiny, collectable piece of art that tells you the story before you even spray it. Artist Domingo Zapata Strange Heavens Out Of The Blue isn’t trying to please everyone. It’s for those who appreciate nuance, who understand that elegance often lies in restraint, and that individuality doesn’t have to announce itself loudly. It feels considered, slightly unconventional, and confidently self-aware. It’s for the moment you choose curiosity over comfort, for when you want to feel wrapped in a scent that’s both cozy and intriguing—a wearable fragment of Wildean drama, a “strange heaven” of your own making. And sometimes, that arrives in a beautiful bottle with a panda on it, gently reminding you that even in the shadows, there’s room for a little play. Strange Heavens Out Of The Blue retails for 2,420 AED and will be available at select boutiques, including Bloomingdale’s Dubai Mall, Harvey Nichols MOE, Bloomingdale’s Reem Mall, Ounass, and Bloomingdales.com . Where to find it: Clive Christian fragrances are available in the UAE at Ounass, Bloomingdale's and Al Tayer, and at the brand's boutique on the first floor of The Dubai Mall.

Eight lip balms tested against the UAE's relentless air conditioning and heat, from drugstore heroes to skincare-backed formulas that actually last. The Best Lip Balms for Chapped Lips, Tried and Tested Eight lip balms tested against the UAE's relentless air conditioning and heat, from drugstore heroes to skincare-backed formulas that actually last. by Rave Staff 13 May 2025 There’s something undeniably graceful about well-moisturised lips. They complete your makeup look, they speak with confidence, and, quite frankly, they feel amazing. Yet here in the UAE, where air conditioning is relentless and desert heat is unforgiving, lip care is more necessity than luxury. While we’ve all reached for the nearest balm during a dry spell, not all lip balms are created equal. Some coat the lips without treating them. Others over-promise and under-deliver. To save you from trial-and-error, we’ve rounded up the most indulgent and effective lip balms that truly work to heal, hydrate, and elevate your pout. From cult classics to clean, conscious formulations, these are our editor-approved picks for the best lip balms for chapped lips—each one worthy of a permanent spot in your beauty bag. Why Do Lips Get Chapped in the UAE Climate? Unlike the rest of our skin, our lips don’t have oil glands, which makes them especially prone to dryness. Add in high sun exposure, indoor AC, caffeine consumption, and low water intake, and you've got the perfect recipe for peeling, flaking lips. But hydration alone isn’t enough—what you really need is a formula that seals in moisture while repairing the skin’s barrier. Our Top Picks for the Best Lip Balms for Chapped Lips 1. Saidia Lip Balm by Caeli – AED 210 Nourishing, Plant-Based, and Soft-as-Silk If you’re the kind of person who appreciates small-batch skincare crafted with intention, this little pot will steal your heart. The Saidia Lip Balm by Caeli is the kind of clean beauty find that whispers rather than shouts—delivering results without needing fanfare. Made with a lush blend of marula and moringa oils, this balm feels like velvet on the lips. Shea butter wraps your pout in moisture, while pomegranate sterols work behind the scenes to lock it all in. The texture is indulgent without being sticky—think smooth, weightless comfort that wears beautifully under lipstick or solo. It’s perfect for the minimalist who wants their skincare to work hard, smell divine (naturally), and feel like a treat. 📍 Find it online at wearecaeli.com The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm – AED 45 Hydration and Repair for Everyday Comfort For those who seek a simple yet effective lip balm, The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm delivers precisely that.

How to Choose the Right Lip Balm for Chapped Lips When navigating the world of lip care, keep these key factors in mind: Climate Matters: In a region like the UAE, go for balms that do more than just hydrate—they should seal in moisture against dry air and heat. Ingredients to Love: Shea butter, marula oil, moringa oil, pomegranate sterols, vitamin E, beeswax, and aloe vera. What to Avoid: Alcohol, synthetic fragrances, and petrolatum (unless it’s been triple-purified). Texture Talk: Opt for something rich but non-greasy during the day, and thicker, cushiony options for night repair. There’s something quietly powerful about soft, cared-for lips. They need no filter, no lipstick—just a touch of thoughtful care. Whether you gravitate towards a glossy finish, prefer matte-friendly moisture, or lean into clean beauty rituals, the right lip balm can elevate your entire look and feel. In the end, lip care isn’t just about solving a problem—it’s about adding a moment of self-love to your daily rhythm.

How to find the perfect nude lipstick for your skin tone, from the shade's '90s rise with Bobbi Brown to undertone tips and the iconic brands to know. Finding the Perfect Nude Lipstick for Your Skin Tone How to find the perfect nude lipstick for your skin tone, from the shade's '90s rise with Bobbi Brown to undertone tips and the iconic brands to know. by Khadija Husain 17 Sep 2024 Over the years, lipstick has been a symbol of beauty, power, and self-expression. Among bold reds and playful pinks, a quiet revolution has emerged: the rise of the perfect nude lipstick. Once a backstage beauty secret, nude lipsticks have become a must-have in every makeup collection, offering a natural, polished look for any occasion. But finding the perfect nude for your skin tone can be tricky. In this article, we explore the rise of nude lipsticks, how to find your perfect shade, and iconic brands leading this beauty revolution. The Birth of the Nude Lipstick Trend Nude lipstick wasn’t always a beauty staple. Before the 2000s, most people gravitated towards the traditional reds, pinks, or browns. Then came makeup artists like Bobbi Brown, who in the '90s championed the idea of enhancing natural beauty rather than covering it up. Her line of neutral lipsticks opened up a new market for subtle, everyday beauty. Fast forward to today, and nude lipsticks have become synonymous with effortless elegance. What once seemed like a single shade now covers a spectrum of hues that complement different skin tones—from soft beige for fair skin to deep caramel for darker complexions. Finding Your Perfect Nude Lipstick Not all nudes are created equal. What works for one person may wash out another. Here’s a guide to finding the perfect nude lipstick based on your skin tone: Fair Skin Tones : For those with fair skin, a nude lipstick with a slight pink or peach undertone can help prevent the lips from looking too pale. Brands like Charlotte Tilbury offer a range of pinky nudes, with the Pillow Talk range being a cult favourite. Another great option is Bobbi Brown's “Sandwash Pink” , a soft, nude-pink that gives a naturally elegant finish. Medium Skin Tones : If you have a medium or olive skin tone, you’ll want to find a nude with peach or warm beige undertones. NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in “Bahama” i s an excellent choice, offering a soft brown hue that flatters olive and medium complexions. Meanwhile, Dior Rouge Dior Lipstick in “Nude Look” provides a warm, beige-pink that’s ideal for a chic, polished look. Tan Skin Tones : Nude lipsticks with caramel or warm brown undertones complement tan skin beautifully. T om Ford’s “Sable Smoke” is a luxurious warm-toned nude that harmonizes well with tan skin. Additionally, YSL Rouge Pur Couture in “Beige Tribute” offers an elegant blend of beige and peach, creating a sophisticated and subtle look. Deep Skin Tones : To flatter deeper skin tones, consider shades like chocolatey browns, rich caramels, mocha browns, deep caramels, or nudes with a subtle plum undertone. The MAC Satin Lipstick in "Mocha" strikes a harmonious balance of warmth and depth, enhancing tan skin without overpowering it, making it a popular choice. For a more creamy and luxurious alternative, Laura Mercier's Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème Lipstick in "Brun Naturel" offers a deep, warm nude that complements dark skin tones beautifully, providing sophistication and versatility for any occasion. The Perfect Nude Look: How to Wear It A nude lip doesn’t have to mean a bare look. The versatility of nude lipstick allows you to play up your eyes, cheeks, or outfit without competing with bold lip color. For a fresh and dewy look, pair your nude lipstick with soft blush and glowing skin. If you’re going for something more glamorous, a smoky eye and nude lip is the ultimate combination, drawing attention to the eyes while maintaining balance. Why Nude Lipsticks Are Here to Stay The nude lipstick trend speaks to our collective shift towards more natural beauty. As consumers seek products that enhance their features rather than transform them, nude lipsticks are seen as a timeless option that offers versatility, elegance, and ease. Plus, their adaptability makes them ideal for transitioning from day to night looks or from casual to formal settings. With brands embracing diversity and consumers demanding products that cater to all skin tones, the nude lipstick revolution is far from over.
