Merit New Wave L'Extrait de Parfum ($92)
"As a huge fan of the first Merit fragrance, Retrospect, I was giddy when I heard that they were finally expanding their scent portfolio. My first spritz was completely different than what I had imagined — New Wave is very deep, warm, and smoky with notes of incense, pink pepper, wood, honeyed floral, and a hint of vanilla. While it initially packs a punch (something that took me a few wears to get used to), I am even more obsessed with how it settles on your skin. It is perfectly sexy and layered in a way that has made me reach for it nearly every day this fall." — Adi Giesey, shopping writer
