Laurel Bath House's New Arrivals discovery set puts the brand's newest fine-fragrance scents into 2ml glass vials — Pulse, Banana Hammock, Hayyy and Cuffed — in gift-box packaging.
Highlights
✓
Cuffed — aged leather, earthy tobacco and bright raspberry. Laurel Bath House describes the three melting into the skin for a warm scent, which puts it at the darker, fruit-lifted end of the set.
✓
Banana Hammock — dewy bergamot, whipped coconut and teak wood. The brand calls it a light summery finish, with the teak grounding the coconut so it lands as a citrus-floral rather than a dessert.
✓
Hayyy — a contemporary western palo santo, which Laurel Bath House marks as a limited scent and describes as evoking dusty fringe with a sensual allure. Palo santo is the dry, resinous, slightly sweet smoke in that register.
✓
Pulse — the brand's own line on this one is that “it smells like the hottest person at the 6am step class”. Take it as a mood rather than a note list, and smell it before you decide.
✓
2ml glass vials, gift-boxed as it comes. 2ml is enough to wear a scent more than once, which is what it takes to judge one — and the box is ready to hand over without wrapping, so it works as a present for someone whose taste in fragrance you do not know.
This is the set to start with if you already know the brand's first four scents and want the newer ones, or if you want a spread rather than a single bottle: one leather, one citrus-coconut, one dry palo santo and one wildcard. Smell them on skin rather than on paper, and give each an hour before deciding — an eau de parfum changes as it dries down, and the first ten minutes are the least representative part of it.
Two of the four are already sold here as full bottles: Cuffed Eau de Parfum and Banana Hammock Eau de Parfum. More in the fragrance range, or the gift shop for other boxed sets.
