I like to think that most of us know by now that the best perfumes of all time don't have to be punchy scents that induce headaches. The new power perfumes of 2024 are soft and, frankly, unassuming—and these scents are the ones I believe, as a beauty editor, to be the most majestic and impressive around. The latest soft scent to blow my socks off? Chanel Comète.
While I love intense woody scents and amber perfumes as much as the next person, when it comes to the sorts of perfumes I lean on day to day, it's cosy, skin-like fragrances all the way. I like fresh, powdered musks and comforting creamy scents—the sorts of perfumes that fuse with the skin in a way that feels like they were just made for you. And Chanel Comète does all of that in a way that no other perfume I've ever encountered before is capable of.
