As New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 kicks off this September, the fashion world is set ablaze with anticipation. This season promises a plethora of emerging and established designers, each interpreting the future of fashion through bold silhouettes, nostalgic revivals, and minimalistic beauty.
However, fashion doesn’t stop at the runway—it thrives in the senses, including the one that lingers longest: scent, which is why Dossier has the pleasure of sharing five carefully selected and exquisite fragrances that elevate these trends from visual masterpieces to full sensory experiences.
Boho Chic: Where Freedom Meets Scent
There’s an earthy revival in the air, a celebration of the free-spirited bohemian chic. Think flowing silhouettes, layered textures, and raw, natural beauty that whispers of wanderlust and artistic souls. Inspired by Jo Malone’s Wood Sage & Sea Salt, Woody Sage is the perfect embodiment of this boho rebirth. Its crisp yet grounding blend of sea salt and sage invokes the breezy, carefree vibe of designers like Ulla Johnson and Collina Strada. As the models glide in their billowing fabrics, one spritz of Woody Sage places you under a sun-drenched sky, feet brushing through wild grass—boho chic is back, and it smells of freedom.
Handcrafted Luxe: Artisanal Beauty in Every Note
2025’s catwalk is embracing a deeper connection with craftsmanship, as breezy, handcrafted pieces reign supreme. Designers like Diotima and Eckhaus Latta are bringing artisanal mastery to the forefront. To pair with this trend, look no further than Aromatic Bergamot. Inspired by Dior’s Sauvage, Aromatic Bergamot is a lively interpretation that evokes the complexity and dedication behind artisanal creations, with its notes of bergamot, pepper, and amber dancing on your skin like a tailor’s careful stitch. Picture the intricate weaves of natural fibers, enhanced by the bright and fresh finish of Aromatic Bergamot, grounding the artisanal luxury of the runway with a scent that tells a story of its own.
Playful Nostalgia: Y2K Brightness Revived
Bold, nostalgic, and with a wink to the 2000s, Y2K-inspired collections (think tracksuits circa the late 90s) refuse to be ignored. With fun prints, daring colors, and whimsical accessories making their comeback, Dossier’s Ginger Grapefruit Zing fits right in. As part of The Wellness Collection, Ginger Grapefruit Zing is a playful nod to the fashion house as well as a complementary homage to designers like Libertine and Alice + Olivia as they embrace the playful chaos of Y2K. In the kinetic chaos, Ginger Grapefruit Zing keeps pace, offering a tart, citrusy burst that feels like pure sunshine, captured in a bottle. Close your eyes, and it’s not just the bright clothes you see—it’s the zing of grapefruit and ginger as you dance through your own flashback to brighter days.
Minimalist Luxury: Subtle Yet Striking
The mantra “less is more” has been embraced with renewed passion by designers such as Khaite and Proenza Schouler. In an era where simplicity takes center stage, there’s nothing more fitting than the clean, crisp elegance of Musky Gaiac. Inspired by Le Labo’s Gaiac 10, Musky Gaiac channels the quiet sophistication of minimalist luxury. Think understated yet effortlessly chic—tailored cuts, neutral tones, and fabrics that speak of quality without need for embellishment. The delicate harmony of gaiac wood, musk, and cedar resonates as much as a whisper of fresh linen on bare skin, turning minimalism into a statement.
Feminine Power: Cinched Waists and Soft Florals
As waistlines cinch and femininity takes on a fresh, empowered form, designers like Carolina Herrera and Brandon Maxwell are embracing structured elegance with an undertone of softness. Complementing this, Neroli Romance embodies this blend of strength and grace. Part of The Wedding Collection, Neroli Romance features sparkling neroli, bright citrus, and white florals, this fragrance wraps around you like the perfect dress: structured but with an undeniable softness. It’s a scent for those who command a room with presence, yet allow for vulnerability in every delicate detail.
