Consider this your definitive guide to October’s new-in beauty worth taking note of.

New in Beauty
Parfums de Marly Althaïr Exclusif
“Like many, I become obsessed with gourmands as the weather cools, and I have found my dream Autumn/Winter scent in Althaïr Exclusif. Expect rich, nutty notes of amaretto and praline as well as sweet cinnamon and vanilla. Divine.”

Exclusive
Byredo Havana Tonka
“Prepare to fall utterly in love with Byredo’s latest creation. Havana Tonka is a gorgeous smoky amber scent with rum, tobacco leaves and tonka bean and it’s also got this decadent crème brulée accord. It’s so addictive and is fast becoming my go-to evening fragrance.”

Amouage Overture 41
“I love the original Overture scent and I’m seeing Overture 41 as her vibrant, more grown-up older sister. The original notes of saffron, calvados and rose are more intense in Overture 41, grounded by the addition of a resinous amber accord. This is one that deserves a spot in any fragrance rotation.”

Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream in Glass Jar
“The iconic Bum Bum Cream has been a bodycare staple of mine for years and I’ve lost count of how many jars I’ve gone through. This new Harrods-exclusive Glass Jar has made an elegant upgrade to my beauty cabinet, plus it’s perfect for housing all my refills.”

Augustinus Bader The Supreme Collection
“This is the type of set that has thought of everything for you. There’s a stellar selection of 11 full-size essentials for the face, body and hair, all infused with Augustinus Bader’s proprietary TFC8 complex. I would be thrilled to find this under my tree this Christmas.”

Exclusive
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Hope Palette
“Every year, I look forward to to seeing the Hourglass holiday palettes, and this year’s do not disappoint. The Hope, Wish and Luck palettes live up to the ‘one and done’ reputation these palettes have built up; you can achieve a gorgeous lit-from-within glow or that second-skin blush effect, which is everywhere right now – they’re ultra-finely milled and blend so effortlessly for a soft make-up look.”

Rahua Rebalance Shampoo and Conditioner
“For me, autumn is the time to really double down on my haircare, and Rahua’s new Rebalance Shampoo and Conditioner prioritise the health of the scalp barrier while providing lightweight hydration to the lengths. This duo has transformed the look and feel of my hair.”
