From Smoky Florals To Tropical Mango: 7 New Fragrances To Shop In May

The weather’s heating up, the days are feeling longer, and summer is finally within reach. Which can only mean a few things: stocking up on SPF, breaking out your favorite pair of jorts, and possibly adding a new fragrance to your rotation.While late spring and early summer often call to mind breezy, fruity scents, the latest launches from reader-favorite brands like LoveShackFancy, NOYZ, and Ouai prove that the season is anything but predictable. This month’s lineup feels especially of-the-moment, juxtaposing garden florals (groundbreaking, we know) like peony and violet with unexpected notes of smoky tobacco, or blending juicy mango with heady frangipani and vanilla orchid. Below, discover — and shop — the best and brightest new fragrances hitting shelves this May.  At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff.

LoveShackFancy Peach Pom Pom Hair & Body MistFashion label LoveShackFancy is continuing its foray into fragrance with the launch of two new body mists. First up: Peach Pom Pom, a playful fruity floral that blends candied peach and crystallized sugar with heady jasmine and a bright hit of orange. It’s giving grown up Bath & Body Works body splash — and we’re here for it. LoveShackFancy Peach Pom Pom Hair & Body Perfume Mist, $, available at SephoraLoveShackFancy Vanilla Twirl Hair & Body MistThe second addition to LoveShackFancy’s body mist lineup, Vanilla Twirl, is essentially wearable dessert. This sugary gourmand opens with a hint of airy freesia, melting into indulgent notes of salted caramel (a new favorite note of mine, having discovered it in Summer Friday’s debut scent), coconut, and almond, before settling into a soft base of vanilla mousse and musk. LoveShackFancy Vanilla Twirl Hair & Body Perfume Mist, $, available at SephoraLoveShackFancy Sweetheart Eau de ParfumRounding out LoveShackFancy’s latest launches is its newest fine fragrance, Sweetheart. This fruit-forward eau de parfum sparkles with notes of sweet raspberry, pink currant — a softer, more delicate varietal from the red currant family — peach, and musk. Just as eye-catching as the scent itself is the glitter-dusted, oversized bow cap that tops the bottle. LoveShackFancy Sweetheart Eau de Parfum, $, available at SephoraOUAI Ibiza Hair & Body MistOuai has bottled the essence of Spain's iconic beach destination with its latest launch, Ibiza. The result is a warm gourmand blend layered with rich cocoa, powdery tonka bean, sweet vanilla, and caramelized rum. Mist it generously over hair, skin, and clothing for a sultry scent that lingers from day to night. Ouai Ibiza Hair and Body Mist, $, available at OuaiNOYZ Be Her Eau de ParfumReader-favorite fragrance brand NOYZ has announced its first collaboration, with country music star Ella Langley. Be Her is an olfactive journey through the American west, thanks to its unique notes of floral violet and peony that clash with a saloon-like tobacco accord. A base of cashmere woods adds a touch of warmth throughout the bouquet. Noyz Be Her By Ella Langley, $, available at Ulta BeautyNest New York Maui Mango Perfume OilNest New York’s perfume oils come to life when in contact with heat and skin, blossoming into a soft, subtle scent. (Plus, oils tend to contain higher concentrations of fragrance, and will moisturize the skin rather than dry it out since there’s no alcohol.) The latest addition to the lineup is Maui Mango, which as the name suggests, is a tropical mix of sun-ripened mango, tart starfruit, and the warm florals of frangipani and vanilla orchid. NEST New York Maui Mango Perfume Oil, $, available at Ulta BeautyCarolina Herrera La Bomba Eau de ParfumShe’s that girl — and she knows it. Carolina Herrera’s new La Bomba fragrance leans all the way into main-character energy, opening with a burst of juicy dragon fruit before unfolding into sweet cherry peony at the heart. A warm, sun-kissed vanilla base lingers on the skin, giving the scent a soft, radiant finish. The result is a bold yet playful fragrance that’s practically guaranteed to turn heads — and earn you compliments everywhere you go. Carolina Herrera La Bomba Eau de Parfum, $, available at SephoraLe Monde Gourmand Tomate Bébé Eau de ParfumIf you thought tomato girl summer was over, think again. Le Monde Gourmand’s latest launch — created in collaboration with iconic Los Angeles restaurant Jon & Vinny's — keeps the trend firmly alive. Anchored by its namesake verdant tomato leaf, the scent layers in just-picked basil and crisp green pepper, balanced by a splash of sparkling citrus and a warm, woody base. The result is a fresh-from-the-garden fragrance that feels equal parts savory, invigorating, and completely one-of-a-kind. Voluspa Petal &
