As of late, there’s a noticeable uptick in fashion house perfumes. Sure, it’s not a foreign concept, especially with Chanel No. 5 being one of the most beloved perfumes. But with star-studded launch parties galore, it’s hard to miss these new additions.
Balenciaga dropped a new fine fragrance collection, Bottega Veneta released a new collection, Miu Miu re-entered the beauty space with Miutine, and Tom Holland was the face of Prada Paradigme’s launch in New York City.
With slightly steeper price points, purchasing a perfume from a luxury fashion house can feel like more of an investment. In order to make that decision, there are several key factors at play. Not only is the scent itself something to consider, but the strength and longevity of the fragrance are also important in ensuring you get your bang for your buck.
If you’re ready to invest in some luxury fashion house perfumes, we’ve got you covered. Below, we share our beauty editors’ favorite fragrances, ranked by notes, strength, and longevity.

Miutine Eau de Parfum
Strawberry perfumes are trending as of late, but if you’re looking for something that’s not saccharine, Miu Miu Beauty’s Miutune is your pick. It’s still sweet with brown sugar and vanilla, but cut with the freshness of oakmoss, gardenia, and wild strawberry for a delicate balance. I don’t need too many sprays, but I always want more — I always give it a sniff when I walk by the ultra chic bottle on my shelf. — Donya Momenian
- Key Notes: Wild Strawberry, Gardenia, Brown Sugar, Vanilla Accord
- Strength: 6/10
- Longevity: 8/10
Comme des Garçons
Comme des Garçons Parfums Man 2
Comme des Garçon MAN is technically a cologne but scents are neutral in my opinion. It’s smell is leathery but fresh with light mint accents and its so great for the cold months. — Alyssa Hardy
