Ahead, you’ll find something for everyone: the beauty lover who enjoys a touch of luxury, skincare aficionados and even the person who has everything.
Bond No. 9’s Harrods 175 is a fragrance collector’s dream come true. Created to celebrate Harrods’ 175th anniversary, this exclusive scent is dressed in our Knightsbridge store’s signature green and gold, bringing a touch of Harrods magic to your fragrance wardrobe. The blackcurrant, honeyed amber and musky notes will have you hooked.
This oil-to-milk body wash transforms a daily cleanse into a spa-like ritual. Formulated to support your skin barrier, the nourishing formula leaves your skin feeling soft, hydrated and subtly scented with the Cheirosa ’59 fragrance – an uplifting blend of velvet plum and sandalwood. It’s the ideal treat for those who cherish a self-care moment, prefer to be cocooned in a scent cloud (like a gorgeous scented candle that fills up the room) – or need a gentle reminder to slow down.
Silk is luxury at your fingertips and The House of Creed’s Queen of Silk translates that tactility into a regal scent. Delicate magnolia and osmanthus bloom softly before melting into a sweet vanilla, patchouli dry-down. This one doesn’t shout elegance – it whispers it, making it the ultimate companion for that polished friend with embodies quiet luxury.
Whenever we see ‘amber’ etched on a fragrance flacon, it’s love before first spritz. Mizensir’s Ambre Magique, created by master perfumer Alberto Morillas, presents a feast for your senses. Each spritz bursts with sweet orange blossom, contrasted by the opulence of Bulgarian rose, before melting into a bourbon vanilla and musk base. Retaining all the fantastical qualities of amber, this luminous interpretation is perfect for lovers of sophisticated, radiant scents.
A scent as timeless as a crisp white shirt. Parfums de Marly’s Valaya Exclusif is a study of contrasts: airy yet enveloping, delicate yet powerful. It marries soft white florals with juicy mandarin enhanced by a touch of musk. This modern feminine scent tinged with a hint of mystery will make its wearer feel like the main character.
Rooted in poetry and created by perfumer Jordi Fernandez, Vento Ardente is a story told in scent. Warming saffron ignites your senses before Turkish rose adds a soft touch, grounding into smoky, earthy cypriol and rich leather for a sophisticated scent. Whoever is lucky enough to receive this will feel as though they’re wearing a tailored Brunello Cucinelli creation – crafted to perfection and made to last a lifetime.
Inspired by the Lesedi La Rona IV, the world’s fifth-largest diamond ever discovered (and one of the most breathtaking), famously cut by Graff, Lesedi La Rona IV sparkles with bright citrus and neroli before settling into a sophisticated, woody base. It’s a scent that feels like slipping on a bespoke gown — exquisite and unforgettable. For someone who likes the finer things in life, this Harrods-exclusive scent is just the thing.
You know that feeling of slipping into silk sheets at the end of the day? Musc de Soie is the olfactory equivalent, capturing that soft, indulgent feeling. Powdery iris mingles with a delicate musk, creating a scent that stays close to the skin and wears beautifully throughout the day. Van Cleef & Arpel’s creation is as intimate as it is chic, making it a gift that no cashmere lover could ever resist.
There’s fragrance, and then there’s H01 by Escentric Molecules — an opulent masterpiece designed to adapt to its wearer. Created exclusively for Harrods, H01 intrigues with a richly textured blend of moss, musk and amber, embodying the warmth of Abu Dhabi. Call it a fragrance for the non-conformist, lovers of luxe details (the flacon is made with real gold) or anyone who wants to be transported to a sun-soaked landscape.
