The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Is the Perfect Time to Craft Your Fragrance Wardrobe

Elle17-07-2025
Whether it's fresh and minimal, warm and layered, or floral with a bit of edge, the right scent can say a lot without being loud. And with a well-rounded fragrance wardrobe at your disposal, you'll always have at your fingertips the perfect speaker for the season, setting, location, and current mood.
With sets featuring full-size favorites, travel sprays, and home essentials for incredible values, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the perfect opportunity to build or expand your fragrance rotation. Scent your life and home with the must-shop picks below.
Orphéon has the vibe of slipping into a dimly lit jazz club in Paris. The blend of tonka bean, cedar, juniper berry, and jasmine is warm, androgynous, and quietly magnetic. The combination of these unique notes works harmoniously, and as the night goes on, the scent reveals layers that leave a lasting impression.
Apply this for those moments when you want to feel poised—think date night, a gallery opening, or a quiet brunch where the ambience matters.
This Nordstrom-exclusive two-piece set includes a 30-milliliter eau de parfum and a full-size hand and body gel. Use them together, and the scent will linger for hours in a wonderfully understated way.
There's something about this scent pairing that feels like a fresh start. It's bright and citrusy, but never sharp—the basil and white thyme smooth things out with an herbaceous warmth that provides just enough edge.
This set includes two full-size diffusers and two sets of reeds, making it easy to scent multiple spaces with intention. Place one in the entryway for an invigorating welcome the moment you step inside, and the other in a kitchen or shared living space where you want the scent to leave a lasting impression.
This set of three mini perfumes is a beautifully edited introduction to both fragrance wardrobes in general and the world of Le Labo—a brand recognized for its quietly addictive scents—in particular. Each 5-milliliter vial is travel-friendly and thoughtfully chosen to highlight different vibes and notes.
Another 13 is hypnotic and clean, built around ambrox and musk with hints of jasmine, moss, and ambrette seed. Eucalyptus 20 leans a bit woodier and more mysterious, with cedarwood, thyme, and smoky resins that give an expansive and grounded feel. Santal 33, arguably the brand's most iconic scent, blends Australian sandalwood, leather, and iris into a warm, instantly recognizable fragrance.
This set comprises two of NEST's most popular scents. Bamboo smells clean, with notes of white florals and citrus that instantly brighten up a space. Grapefruit blends pink pomelo with watery notes, lily of the valley, and coriander blossom, and the result is bright and dewy, with a softness that always feels fresh.
Place Bamboo in the bedroom or bathroom for a calming, spa-like feel. Use Grapefruit in the kitchen, entryway, or home office—wherever and whenever you need a little extra energy or focus. Both diffusers are full-size, and the glass vessels will please aesthetically wherever you place them.
Valaya is a luminous floral-musky fragrance that's quietly commanding. At first spritz, it opens with a bright blend of bergamot, mandarin, and white peach, before unfolding into a heart of orange flower and nympheal. The dry down is warm and sensual, with ambrofix, akigalawood, and musk creating a finish that stays close to the skin while still turning heads.
It's especially suited for daytime—lunch outdoors, museum afternoons, or weddings where you want to stand out without screaming for attention. The set includes a full-size 2.5-ounce eau de parfum and a 1-ounce. travel spray, both housed in sleek, weighty packaging that looks just as refined as the scent smells.
Libre is the kind of fragrance that holds up during those full days with no breaks. It suits morning meetings, late-night drinks, and all the moments in between when you want to feel pulled together without being too buttoned up. There is clarity in its structure, elegance in its warmth, and enough personality to keep it interesting every time you wear it.
It opens with a bright combination of tangerine, neroli, and French lavender that immediately feels crisp and distinctive. The heart of orange blossom and jasmine sambac adds softness and depth, while a base of vanilla, tonka bean, and white musk leaves a lasting impression—approachable but daring.
This set includes a full-size 3-ounce eau de parfum, a travel-size spray for on-the-go wear, and a chic black cosmetics bag featuring subtle YSL branding.
This is a floral scent built on contrast. It opens with fresh neroli, soft and luminous, before giving way to a heart of amber that adds warmth and sensuality. As it dries down, the musk base deepens the fragrance.
Reach for Paradoxe when you need a confidence boost. It's a fitting match with a crisp blazer, vintage denim, or whatever else makes you feel like your absolute sharpest self.
This set includes a full-size eau de parfum, a travel spray, and a perfumed body lotion for layering.
A bright white-floral fragrance that feels both playful and polished, Flora Gorgeous Gardenia centers on that radiant gardenia, layered with pear blossom for a cheerful lift and grounded by jasmine grandiflorum for depth. Brown sugar adds just enough sweetness to round everything out without tipping into overly floral or powdery territory.
Feminine without being fussy, this one is the ideal everyday scent. The set includes a full-size eau de parfum and a travel spray.

Dior's New York Spa Brings Parisian Glamour to the U.S.

The competition for best wellness space in New York City just got a little more heated: Starting today, there's a Dior spa at the brand's new flagship on East 57th Street and Madison Avenue, offering tailor-made luxury services and advanced technology, all in a calming, palatial space. In short, it's Dior heaven. The space, designed by Peter Marino, the architect behind the Dior 30 Avenue Montaigne flagship in Paris, is a tribute to Monsieur Christian Dior, who once said he 'dreamed of making women not only more beautiful, but also happier.' Upon entering, you're immediately enveloped by the smell of specially crafted Dior fragrances—all created by Francis Kurkdjian, Dior's perfume creation director. Guests can expect a personalized experience even before receiving treatment, as each appointment starts with an in-depth skin diagnosis courtesy of Dior Measurements, an analysis tool that assesses the collagen, hydration, pH levels, and elasticity of your skin before creating a treatment plan. From there, the spa has cutting-edge offerings created in collaboration with some of the industry's leading skin care experts, which range from cold lasers and cryotherapy to ultrasonic exfoliation and microdermabrasion. The spa's ultra-targeted menu boasts a variety of facial treatments like the Golden Aura facial for a radiant, luminous glow or a Dior-exclusive HydraFacial to cleanse and exfoliate. There's also a vast selection of body treatments, including Dior's New Look, which delivers a bespoke lymphatic drainage technique using Icoone technology, a noninvasive stimulating tool that offers high-precision cellulite treatment and is exclusive to the New York spa. The space has a separate beauty room where guests are invited to test and discover Dior makeup products. The additional Dior boutique will feature fragrances and beauty items from the La Collection Privée collection and the Dior Prestige and L'Or de Vie skin care lines. With the opening of the new spa, you can escape the chaos of everyday city living and step into the serene world of Dior.

The 10 Best Grapefruit Perfumes For Summer And Beyond

Growing up, my grandmother always paired my breakfast (usually eggs) with a freshly sliced half of a grapefruit. Its sharp, bitter taste was overwhelming, so I'd sneak a sprinkle of brown sugar on top to make it more palatable. Over time, that small act of rebellion became a genuine fixation, and grapefruit became my favourite fruit. However, after taking a hiatus from citrus for years, I welcomed it back into my life as an adult in a new form: perfume. While many gravitate toward soft florals (jasmine, rose, iris), deep woods (oud, cedarwood, vetiver), or indulgent gourmands (caramel, coffee, vanilla), there's a distinct group—myself included—who crave the vibrant, tangy energy of citrus. Coffee is great, but have you ever enveloped yourself in the bright, sparkling zest of a grapefruit fragrance? In perfumery, grapefruit isn't as tart or bracing as biting into the real thing. When blended with other citrus, it emerges as the fresh, juicy, and refined sister to orange, lemon, or tangerine. Not to mention, it becomes even more addictive when combined with florals and herbaceous notes that create an uplifting scent that lingers beautifully on the skin as it settles. The ELLE UK beauty team is typically divided on what notes we love, but many of us agree that grapefruit perfumes are a worthy addition to citrus collections. After polling editors and combing through customer reviews, I landed on the following grapefruit perfumes that are fresher than a cold glass of OJ. If someone would describe your aura as soft, delicate, and flirty, Chance by Chanel is your olfactory equivalent. This scent makes you want to hug yourself tight because of how dreamy you smell, courtesy of light musks and fruity tones. The first bite of a nectar is always the juiciest, as is the initial spritz of this perfume. True to its bright packaging, Perseus lingers on the skin like tangy pulp on the lips after a bite, unfurling layers of other fruity and woody notes as it settles. At first glance, you might mistake this perfume for cucumber or celery water, but even without the greens, it is just as refreshing as fresh juice. Instead, it's packed with grapefruit, rose, and pink peppercorn, making it light and energising, as well as sweet. Whenever you want to escape to Italy, take Fico di Amalfi for a spin, or should I say spritz. Behind the blue vial are invigorating notes that energise you instantly and evoke images of gardens, flowers, and water. Its blissful scent evokes memories of long, hot summers spent under a fig tree, sheltering in its shade from the sun. You can't talk grapefruit perfumes without mentioning the OG. Jo Malone's Grapefruit is earthier than most, anchored by a blend of peppers and mints. The bottom line? It is fresh, light, and full of crisp citrus notes. What is not to love? Crispy, zesty, and airy, Hesperides is almost too refreshing to be just a perfume. Think of a cold lemonade or a citrus salad—the combination of lemon and grapefruit makes this the perfect springtime to summer transitional scent. The grapefruit in this scent only pays a brief visit to allow the heavier, spicier notes their own time to shine. Halfeti isn't for the faint of heart—it's for those who favour bold notes and don't mind being stopped repeatedly for compliments. Cleopatra is an olfactory exploration of the traits she's believed to have possessed. It's strong, seductive, and alluring in the most sophisticated way. It has rich, sophisticated notes of vanilla musk mixed with sweet jasmine that anchor the grapefruit bitters. Citrus and nectar mingle in Creed's Spring Flower, which swirls in a medley of soft petals, creating a scent as soft and sensual as the powder pink bottle. It's fresh and feminine, an easy everyday wear that is sure to turn heads Nerisha Penrose is the Beauty Commerce Editor at Prior to joining the team, she was an Editorial Fellow at In her current role, she helps lead coverage on makeup, skin care, hair, and fragrances.
