Debrief our perfumers’ notes, every scent, and all about our It Factor, too.
The best fragrances aren’t just about their notes. Instead, it’s about the story behind each scent––its craftsmanship and the ways that those combinations scent the tone.
Dossier Originals was born out of a desire to craft something entirely our own: harmonious, distinctively unique scents created right at home in Dossier Creative Lab.
Smell Session Secrets: The Dossier Originals Icons Collection Origin Story
While all of our Originals are uniquely ideated for and by Dossier’s team of perfume experts, we couldn’t help but recognize the clear standouts after crafting over 100 (!!) designer-inspired scents. Certain Impressions blends and notes have become clear cult-favorites and modern classics in their own right. Some might even call them Iconic.
Enter: the Dossier Icons Collection. Our mission was simple: to draw inspiration from our best-selling, most-loved notes and use them as smell session inspiration in the Dossier Creative Lab. We spent some time experimenting with different olfactive combinations. Then, crafted entirely new blends that our perfumers like to call “magic recipes.” Because, well, they kind of are a form of scent sorcery.
Now, these fragrances are ones that customers return to time and again, drawn in by their elegance, emotive connections, and singularly timeless appeal. We knew this formula of craftsmanship would resonate, but we could have never predicted what it would become—and now, three collections of Icons later, we’ve created some of our best and most memorable Dossier perfumes ever.
Name A More ICONIC Trio: Meet All Three Icons Collection Launches
The Icons I, The Icons II, and most recently, It Factor, have all proven to be a display of unparalleled French perfume mastery born from our desire to bottle the luxury French perfumery’s je ne sais quoi for all. A collection of distinctive pairings of our most alluring, sophisticated, and addictive notes, each Icon collection’s uniquely spirited blend is unlike anything you’ve spritzed before. Ready to unlock the inspiration behind these inimitable scents?
The Icons I Collection Launch
Let’s look back at the first edition of the Dossier Icons Collection—the inaugural line that started it all. Slice of Heaven, Zest for Life, and Fruits of Love debuted as a trio of premium, imaginative blends that let our best-selling notes sing.
Slice of Heaven
Main notes: Peach, Caramel, Vanilla, Coffee
Smells like: Caramelized vanilla latte infused with sweet, fruity florals.
Price: $39
Slice of Heaven is the ultimate savory-sweet blend—a gourmand fragrance for the books—thanks to its mood-lifting combination of decadent caramel, vanilla, coffee, juicy peach, pear, and an unexpected hint of pink pepper. A true indulgence, it’s like waking up to a fresh spread of French pastries and a café au lait.Fruits of Love
Main notes: Blackcurrant, Orange Flower, Amber
Smells like: A floral bouquet kissed with blackcurrant & vanilla almond notes.
Price: $39
Meanwhile, the fruity-floral fragrance Fruits of Love, a perfect summer perfume, smells like a deliciously magical bouquet of blooming summer fruits & soft florals. Its delectable base of ambery vanilla and soft almond effects adds untold depth and nuance, making it the perfect fusion of the best-selling notes that came before it.
Zest for Life
Main notes: Grapefruit, Pineapple, Green Apple, Aromatic Notes, Geranium, Cedarwood
Smells like: Your fresh, tropical, and woodland-infused citrus paradise.
Price: $39
To round out the first Icons collection is Zest for Life: a fresh, tropical, woodland-infused paradise that’ll transport you in just a spritz. Its invigorating blend of fruity, citrusy, and aromatic woodsy notes made it the collection’s best unisex perfume for anyone looking for something genderless. (Some say it’s also in the running for the best citrus perfume for men—ever—and who are we to disagree?)
This Dossier launch proved that The Icons Collection was crafted to be iconic.
The Icons II Collection
Then The Icons II Collection dropped with an intoxicating duo that was as commanding as it was timely. These two fragrances owned the room––and the list of 2025’s most popular fragrance trends, essentially.
Call Me Vanilla
Main notes: Almond, Peach, Jasmine, Vanilla
Smells like: All your vanilla pleasures––commanding, devourable, and addictive.
Price: $39
Summer’s most unexpected vanilla perfume arrived with the launch of Call Me Vanilla, a tantalizing and enchantingly complex combination of crisp almond, peach, jasmine, and white woods, making it one of the collection’s most sensual fragrances.
Blooming For You
Main notes: Pear, Violet, Jasmin Sambuc, Lily of The Valley
Smells like: A juicy floral burst kissed with crisp fruits and lingering earthy notes.
Price: $39
In tandem came Blooming For You, the juiciest floral fragrance of them all. Its initial burst of crisp pear and juicy grapefruit unfurls into a dazzling heart of violet and white flower with grounding, earthy base notes that settle on the skin.
It Factor: Our BIGGEST Launch Ever!
Lastly, the vastly praised It Factor was just added to The Icons Collection lineup. And oh, did we make it ICONIC. Dossier partnered with four next-gen Icons who don’t just capture attention—they command it.
They told us how It Factor helps them spritz their je ne sais quoi. Say enchanté to It Factor four with us once more. For the launch campaign, Dossier collaborated with the style icon and musician, Landon Barker, social media maven Golloria George, TikTok’s fashion and beauty icon Yesly Dimate, and entrepreneur Ken Eurich.
It Factor
Main notes: Ginger, Cardamom, Incense, Silky Musk, Brown Sugar, Sandalwood, Vanilla Extract
Smells like: The ultimate head-turning spicy, sensual, and gourmand scent.
Price: $49
As for the scent? It’s a warm, spicy blend of ginger, cardamom, smoky incense, violet, and creamy musks. So, It Factor has earned its front-runner status as the Icon Collection’s most complimented perfume.
And it’s gone VIRAL on social media, thanks to head-turning scent, star power backing, and a combination of 2025’s most popular perfume notes.
Not only do these four bold, unapologetically talents redefine the word Icon, but It Factor—AKA the French expression “oh là là” in a bottle—is captivating, addictive, and enigmatic all at once. With its bewitching combination of gourmand and creamy facets, It Factor’s comforting finish isn’t just one of the best transitional scents for men or women, but also, a top contender for fall’s best fragrances.
Behind The Icons: A Look Into The Dossier Creative Lab
So how’d we do it? Our in-house fragrance experts at the Dossier Creative Lab take notes-––literally––on all the notes on their radar from our global suppliers, familiar notes, and fan-favorite accords. Then, our team of perfume experts reimagine them into something entirely new and iconic to craft our most premium Dossier Originals.
By carefully selecting the highest quality raw materials, often hand-sourced for their distinction, our experts in Grasse, France, crafted innovative, imaginative blends that honor a new kind of olfactory journey. Each Icons Collection is layered with deep technical expertise and creative intuition—a masterful blend of structure and surprise. The result: a collection of scents that resonate and linger long after they’ve left the bottle.
Each collection is formulated by a team of expert perfumers and an evaluator—better known in the olfactory world as a “nose”—to formulate these considered blends. Not unlike an artist’s “Greatest Hits” album, these scents represent the newest and harmonious combinations that would become our most noteworthy fragrance blends yet.
Bold, addictive, and irresistibly wearable, every Icon is designed to leave a mark—and linger on your mind, skin, and memory (and maybe not only your own).
