If you can trust Esquire's shopping team to do one thing, you can trust it to tell you what new thing is a fad and what new thing is an instant classic. We're always paying attention to the latest launches in menswear , skincare , and fragrance —and we're never quick to talk about something just for the sake of talking about it. Internally, we're always having heated discussions about which new products are worth it and which are flops. This month, we saw a handful of exciting new launches from some of our favorite fragrance brands —and they've already made their way into our summer rotations.
Some are fresh and fruity , some are decadent and gourmand , and some are salty like the ocean . Here are the six new fragrance launches from June 2026 we're most excited about.
1) Abel Double Scoop Eau de Parfum
Of all the new fragrances out there, the one I can't stop spritzing is Abel's Double Scoop. It's a savory twist on your classic vanilla scent. It opens with a fresh, earthy hit of rosemary, which turns into nutty toasted black sesame and sweet butterscotch, but what lingers on your skin after the initial spritz is a toasty vanilla. Normally I like warm vanilla scents for fall and winter, but this one is perfect for summer.
2) Korres Ionian Blue Eau de Toilette
Korres, the Greek skincare brand known for its clean beauty products and natural fragrances, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a limited-edition fragrance collection inspired by Greece's three seas. My favorite of the trio is the Ionian Blue EDT, a fresh mix of bright lemon, herbal basil, and crisp apple on top of salty marine notes, sandalwood, and amber. The Aegean Blue EDT is also a gorgeous citrusy, woody scent, and the Cretan Blue EDT is fresh with nice hints of spice and florals.
3) D.S. & Durga Rose Pacific Eau de Parfum
D.S. & Durga took inspiration from its successful Rose Atlantic EDP —a fragrance inspired by New England summers—to create this West Coast counterpart, which made such a splash that it's already sold out. But don't worry, it's already working on another batch of this beloved limited-edition fragrance. I can attest, it's pretty incredible: With fruity notes of lime, apricot, and peach along with marine notes and, of course, rose, it's like nothing else I've ever smelled, and I love it.
4) Dior Paradise Eau de Parfum
Dior kicked off June with the launch of its new Dior Paradise EDP, a complex fragrance with a fresh opening of mandarin, orange, and lime that gives way to a bittersweet gourmand heart of almond notes and a smooth base of tonka bean and woods.
5) Discothèque Next to Me or Nothing Eau de Parfum
In Discothèque's newest launch, soft, creamy notes of cold milk, sandalwood, and tonka bean linger with floral jasmine, all atop a velvety smooth base of white musk. It's a super sexy skin scent that will make the person next to you lean in and want more.
6) Touchland Level Up Body Spray
If you're not looking to drop a ton of money on a new cologne, try one of these new $20 body sprays from Touchland (the brand you might know from its similar-looking spray hand sanitizers). This woody, citrusy spray is undeniably masculine and great at eliminating body odor.
