11 Best Perfumes on Amazon 2025, Vetted by Beauty Editors

The best perfumes on Amazon also serve as a great way to get a luxurious perfume scent for less. Case in point: Ambery Saffron by Dossier, which is inspired by another very well known fragrance. This pick has notes of orange blossom, jasmine, plum, cedarwood, fir balsam and amber for a sultry, yet sweet finish that instantly elevates your beauty routine.

“I love wearing this scent on date night or when I’m out in the evening, if I’m looking for something sweet but not gourmand. It has a powdery finish that feels expensive, and the bottle lasts for months. A must-try,” says Glamour’s Kilkeary.

  • Fragrance family: Floral, musk
  • Notes: Saffron, orange blossom, plum, cedarwood, amber
  • Sizes: 1.7 oz, 3.4 oz

r.e.m. Beauty Wicked For Good Makeup Collection Review

by jummy84 October 3, 2025
written by jummy84

I personally consider myself a Glinda rising, Elphaba sun, and Nessarose moon, so I immediately gravitated towards the moody, earthy tones in the Elphaba Makeup Set and the Ozian Forest Eyeshadow Palette. For an everyday fall look, I used a couple matte neutral shades from the palette — a pale beige called “Confusifying,” “Witching Hour” (a warm tan), and “The Grimmerie” (a milk chocolate) in the crease. Then, I applied a plummy lip & cheek tint from the Elphaba set (the shade is “Braverism,” which…love) as a lipstick and blush, and added the glossy balm in the shade Wickedness (a sheer brown with golden-magenta micro glitter) to round out the lip combo. I already happened to be wearing a green cardigan and my hair in a long braid, which totally brought the Elphaba vibes to life.

The Best New Beauty Products ‘Glamour’ Editors Tried in September

by jummy84 October 2, 2025
written by jummy84

Welcome to Stuff We Want, our roundup of the best new beauty products we tried each month. From undisputed favorites to brand-new releases, these are the things our editors loved throughout the month of September.

September is sort of like a second New Year. After the last blissfully slow days of summer, we’re ready to return to our routines in full form—which justifies a whole new beauty haul.

Among our September faves, you’ll find everything you need to master the transitional look, from glowing foundation to warm and toasty blush. Now that it’s officially fall, we’re also leaning into true seasonal staples. It really is the little luxuries, like a spiced hand soap or a great brown lipstick, that make the new season worth celebrating.

While we love our fall trends, certain beauty hallmarks—like skin care you look forward to applying and easy blowouts that fit into your morning routine—are always in season. What else rose to the top of our editors’ cosmetic bags in September? A rich cleanser, a hydrating lip balm, and a blowout brush for endless good-hair days.

While we’re still soaking up the early-fall sun, the cool breeze of autumn will be here before we know it, which means it’s the perfect time to stock up on these transitional favorites. Scroll on to shop the best new beauty products in September, and get ready to add to cart.

I come from a long line of academics, who I like to refer to as degree collectors, so pursuing higher education with an almost obscene number of chunky wool sweaters, leather loafers, headbands, and classic tortoiseshell frames was part of the game plan. While I was raised with all of the key PNW traits (like appreciating a hiking trail over a sample sale), I also grew up hearing all about my parents’ love for their East Coast years spent studying at one of the top universities in the country praised for its nearly 400-year-old red-brick buildings and sprawling ivy. It’s no question why the hallowed halls of academic institutions continue to inspire aesthetic-loving individuals like myself, but there is something particularly enticing about the power collegiate settings have over beauty and fashion.

Drawing from the many influential subcultures and traditions of elite preparatory schools and Ivy League institutions, collegiate-inspired fashion and beauty have taken on a life of their own. By the time fall rolls back around and the school bells toll, my FYP is flooded with “get ready with me” routines dissecting the iconic style of some of this generation’s most recognizable preps that appeared on our TV screens, from Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf (and her modern reincarnation Monet de Haan) to Pretty Little Liars‘s Spencer Hastings. Most eyes would be initially drawn to the earthy tones and textures of their clothing, but for beauty enthusiasts, it’s all about the polished details that keep the aesthetic accessible for people from all walks of life.

Now that we’ve officially entered the cooler months and classrooms and campuses are, once again, sparking collegiate sensibilities online, It’s time to embrace my inner academic. This edition of Gen Z Says is dedicated to the makeup, scents, manicure must-haves, and accessories that are second only to the sound of crunchy leaves underfoot, the feel of cool, crisp mid-October bonfires, and the excitement of embarking on a new school year. Class is officially in session!

Fragrance

Diptyque L'Eau Papier Eau de Toilette

Diptyque

L’Eau Papier Eau de Toilette

Scent Type: Fresh musk

Notes: White musks, steamed rice accord, mimosa, blonde woods accord

I’ve already written a love letter to this intimate Diptyque fragrance, but I can’t help but also think of this when I’m feeling collegiate. L’Eau Papier is a light and fresh white musk scent composed of steamed rice, luminous mimosa, and a heady blonde wood accord to replicate the scent of paper. What stands out the most about this perfume is how well it wears like a second skin, adding an ample amount of warmth that evolves over time to reveal a soft, musky finish.

Diptyque Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum

Diptyque

Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum

Scent Type: Warm spices

Notes: Vanilla, pink peppercorn, cypriol, calamus

When I think about fragrances that remind me of late-night study sessions and early morning exams, Diptyque’s Eau Duelle Eau de Toilette comes to mind. It’s a spicy vanilla fragrance that opens with a burst of warm Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar before shifting into lively pink peppercorn. We’re then introduced to dark, smoky cypriol and calamus, which work in tandem to add a hint of warm spices to the mix. According to the brand, the vanilla bean was harvested while still green, followed by a 34-month maturation process.

Byredo Bibliothèque Eau de Parfum

Byredo

Bibliothèque Eau de Parfum

Scent Type: Aromatic woods

Notes: Peach, plum, peony, violet, leather, patchouli, vanilla

Before coming across this Byredo find, I didn’t think any perfume could so accurately capture the smell of delicate leather book covers, aged binding, and wood shelves bowing below the weight of their contents. Bibliothèque echoes the velvet-like quality of paper with soft accents of pulpy peach and plum that unfurl to reveal a powdery violet note. What truly makes this scent is its base-note composition, featuring glowing patchouli, smooth leather, and a touch of vanilla. I’m a former English literature major who spent the bulk of her weeknights in the company of books, and this fragrance smells exactly like flipping to a bookmarked page while absentmindedly nursing a cup of black tea.

Reservation Parfums Chambre Secrète Eau de Parfum

Réservation Parfums

Chambre Secrète Eau de Parfum

Scent Type: Amber woods

Notes: Vanilla absolute, incense, olibanum oil

Not everyone can attend a mysterious boarding school with enough generational secrets to last a lifetime, but I can use a fragrance that’s hauntingly beautiful with a dark side. Chambre Secrète by Réservation Parfums is soft and delicate with a note of cozy vanilla absolute that’s set off by warm incense. Olibanum oil (aka frankincense) is used as the scent’s base note and adds a mystical, earthy finish. It’s effortlessly romantic but has a bit of edge to it that feels familiar.

Makeup

Poppy & Pout Uptown Autumn Collection

Poppy & Pout

Uptown Autumn Collection

*Priced individually

When Poppy & Pout announced the launch of its Uptown Autumn collection, I knew I had discovered the product that could bring me right back to my fall spent on the Upper East Side. Reminiscent of the fictional students attending Gossip Girl’s Constance Billard School for Girls and St. Jude’s School for Boys, the names of the flavors and their chic plaid look give me all the preppy vibes I’m after. Crafted from an all-natural formula, each one coats the lips with ethically sourced beeswax, organic coconut oil, and essential oils. My favorite scent is Ivy League Vanilla, a blend of warm French vanilla, maple, and praline.

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey

Clinique

Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey

At this point, Clinique’s Black Honey has a permanent spot reserved on my FYP. (Thank you, Liv Tyler.) As much as I love adding a juicy berry tint to my lips, I’ve been obsessed with a more natural look lately. The product’s newly released shade, Nude Honey, offers the buildable sheer color and sleek soft-shine finish I love so much with a brown tone that complements the melanin-rich tones in my lips and skin. It’s also perfect for tucking away in your bag for quick touch-ups when you’re on the go—maybe even when you’re hustling across campus with a few minutes left on the clock.

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips Cheeks in Warm Mocha

Bobbi Brown

Pot Rouge for Lips Cheeks in Warm Mocha

There’s nothing I’m more obsessed with than a natural-looking flush added to the apples of the cheeks and cheekbones, which is exactly what I can achieve for fall with the Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge. The two-in-one cream glides onto the skin for airy application, leaving the complexion with a stunning soft-focus finish. Offered in five blendable matte shades, it’s flattering on all skin tones and happens to also be fade-resistant, non-settling, non-creasing, non-caking with a wear time of up to eight hours. I swear by the shade Warm Mocha to add a splash of color in the cooler months.

Byredo Bibliophilia Eyeshadow Palette

Byredo

Bibliophilia Eyeshadow Palette

This one should come as no surprise. Byredo just launched a richly pigmented eye shadow palette that replicates the mood and atmosphere of a library with 18 captivating shades. What I appreciate the most about these eye shadows is their powder-to-cream texture. It melts into the skin with barely any buffing, providing effortless application with a smooth, velvety finish. Formulated to provide up to 12 hours of smudge-proof wear without creasing or fallout, this bookish palette is the answer to all my eye shadow prayers.

Hair Accessories

Damson Madder Garter Bun Wrap in Butter Check

Damson Madder

Garter Bun Wrap in Butter Check

Scrunchies may not be making as big of a comeback this fall, but their downfall has nothing to do with garter bun wraps. While most of these underrated hair accessories accomplish a similar look, Damson Madder’s Garter Bun Wrap has a versatile, stylish design that can be worn in two different ways: woven through a braid or tied into a bow to keep strands out of your face. It’s crafted from 100% organic cotton and features a chic cream, black, and red plaid print embroidered with the brand’s signature DM logo.

Machete Jumbo Oval Barrette in Blonde Tortoise

Machete

Jumbo Oval Barrette in Blonde Tortoise

Adding a chunky barrette in a polished pattern like Blonde Tortoiseshell can add an elegant touch to any hairstyle in one simple step. This oversize barrette by Machete, for example, is handcrafted from fine Italian acetate with a stainless steel clasp. Designed to securely hold mid-to-large volumes of hair, it keeps your strands in place with style without weighing them down.

France Luxe Bit Headband in Black Silk Charmeuse

France Luxe

Bit Headband in Black Silk Charmeuse

I can’t recall the last time I rode on a horse, but I’m all for the equestrian aesthetics in fashion and accessories. France Luxe’s black silk charmeuse headband features an equestrian-style bit accent, which transforms the headband from simple to sporty. Designed for use on all hair types, it’s comfortable to wear all day and won’t slip or slide out of place. I’m already plotting to grab this one in its other color, classic navy blue.

Jennifer Behr Leon Headband in Saddle

Jennifer Behr

Leon Headband in Saddle

If my favorite fictional academic powerhouses Rory Gilmore and Blair Waldorf taught me anything, it’s that you can never go wrong with a skinny headband that looks great on all hair types. I’ve had my eye on Jennifer Behr’s Leon Headband for a while because it uses supple leather with a flexible base. Not only does it deliver effortless styles, but it’s also comfortable to wear for hours on end without adjusting. If you’re more partial to thicker bands, you might want to consider adding the brand’s Cruz Headband ($198) to your rotation.

Home Scents

The Maker Writer Candle

Scent Type: Chypre woods

Notes: Fig, cumin, cotton, ink, orris, carrot seed, sandalwood, transparent papyrus, amber

One of the things I couldn’t go without during late-night study sessions at my apartment was a cozy candle that could transport me wherever I wanted to go. The Maker’s Writer Candle is a recent favorite of mine, but I know it would have been a must-have if it had existed during my school days. The chypre wood fragrance opens with my favorite pulpy note, fig, before shifting into a gentle blend of cumin and cotton. Of course, it wouldn’t make sense to have a writer-inspired candle without a dash of ink and transparent papyrus.

Maison Margiela 'Replica' By the Fireplace Scented Candle

Maison Margiela

Replica By the Fireplace Scented Candle

Scent Type: Warm spices

Notes: Clove oil, chestnut accord, vanilla accord

Attending college in L.A. definitely had its perks, but every time I’ve made it to one of the East Coast’s oldest ivy-covered campuses, I get jealous of the sheer number of fireplaces in public spaces for catching up on reading and spending time with friends. Maison Margiela’s Replica By the Fireplace lets me experience it wherever I am with a luminous blend of clove oil set against a base of chestnut accord and smooth vanilla.

Jo Malone London English Oak Scented Candle

Jo Malone London

English Oak Scented Candle

Scent Type: Aromatic woods

Notes: English oak, patchouli, cedrat

I’ve been dreaming about spending early autumn in the Cotswolds, so I’ll be burning Jo Malone London’s English Oak Scented Candle until I get my tickets for next year. Boasting 45 hours of burn time, this one fills the room with a lovely forest-inspired scent with dry English oak warmed with a hint of sensuous patchouli and bright cedrat. It’s the perfect niche fall scent to take me into the season without diving straight into all things cinnamon and pumpkin.

Le Labo Encens 9 Scented Candle

Le Labo

Encens 9 Classic Candle

Scent Type: Warm spices

Notes: Frankincense, amber, clove

Frankincense is one of my top choices for a scent note that works through fall and well into winter, so Le Labo’s Encens 9 is one candle that I’ll always stock up on. Besides doubling as a minimalist home décor touch, this one offers a warm and resinous blend of frankincense complemented by glowing amber and spicy clove for a dreamy finishing touch. Crafted from 100% soy wax with pure cotton wicks, the candle has a burn time of up to 60 hours.

Trudon Balmoral Candle

Scent Type: Herbaceous woods

Notes: Foliage, mint, cut grass, freesia, tea, iris, musk, pinewood, sap

Herbaceous home fragrances add a tough of earthiness to any space, and I’m particularly enchanted by anything with dewy grass notes, resinous sap, and cozy pinewood. The Balmoral Candle by Trudon has all of the above with the addition of freesia and iris for a powdery, fresh blooming bouquet and a touch of tea. It’s one of the best candles to break out when I’m in need of a home scent that’s grounding without being overly warm or spicy. Plus, it’s perfect for writing sessions.

Manicure Essentials

Static Nails Reusable Pop-On Manicures in Tortoise Shell

Static Nails

Reusable Pop-On Manicures in Tortoise Shell

When I’m running short on time, I instinctively reach for these reusable pop-on manicures by Static Nails. Touted by the brand as “a long-lasting alternative to gels, dips, acrylics, and press-on nails,” these little wonders offer a nondamaging manicure in seconds, and each nail lasts up to 18 days. This moody tortoiseshell print practically screams academia to me and would look on-trend year-round.

Nailberry L'Oxygene Oxygenated Nail Lacquer in Noirberry

Nailberry

L’Oxygene Oxygenated Nail Lacquer in Noirberry

One of the easiest ways to add a dark, romantic feel to your next manicure is by opting for an almost-black burgundy polish with extra gloss. The L’Oxygene Oxygenated Nail Lacquer in Noirberry is one of my go-to options to achieve this look since it’s extremely pigmented. I don’t know if it’s the brush or the polish itself, but two swipes cover my entire nail bed without any streaks or bubbles. Its patented formula forms a color film, which allows air and water vapor to pass through for a healthier manicure.

Hermès Les Mains Hermès Nail Enamel in Gris Etoupe

Hermès

Les Mains Hermès Nail Enamel in Gris Etoupe

Yes, there are taupe nail polish shades out there that work for all skin tones, and the Les Mains Hermès Nail Enamel in Gris Etoupe is one of the best I’ve come across. It’s a creamy, cool-toned taupe brown balanced with gray, and it makes a great transitional shade for the latter half of the year. It’s definitely an investment, but the polish offers ultra-smooth application with a long-lasting finish that makes spending a few extra dollars completely worth it.

Londontown The Sophisticate Collection

Londontown

The Sophisticate Collection

Who says you have to go with just one color per manicure? Londontown’s Sophisticate Collection is composed of a nail hardener, a base coat, a topcoat, and three timeless nail colors that range from a creamy, neutral pink to a rosy cashmere shade, and it’s valued at $104. It has everything you need to achieve the perfect clean-looking manicure at home with care-infused polish you can rely on.
