Looking for a new signature scent? The sheer number of fragrances on the market can make choosing just one a challenge. Narrow your search to the newest launches and you'll improve your chances of finding something that no one else is wearing.

Escada Magnetism, launched in October 2003, is for "a beauty with animal magnetism and lust for life," represented in a bottle shaped like a tall crystal - multi-faceted, smooth curves and ergonomic design in metallic pink and orange. Top notes are pineapple, blackcurrant, melon, lychee, basil, thyme, freesia and leafy green. Middle notes are rose, magnolia, jasmine and heliotrope iris. Base notes are sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, immortelle, benzion, caramel, coconut, amber, cashmere vanilla and musk.

Mont Blanc Individuel is described as the fragrance for a man who makes his own rules and sets his own standards. Top notes are bergamot, pineapple, juniper berries, coriander, cinnamon, rosemary, lavender and mint. Middle notes are geranium, orange blossom, jasmine and violet. Bottom notes are patchouli, oak moss, sandalwood, vetiver, orris, raspberry, chocolate, tonka beans, vanilla, amber and musk.

Lui Rochas is a new scent for the cosmopolitan, stylish, assertive, non-conventional man. Top notes are citron and neroli, luminous and green, with a central floral facet. Middle notes are sycamore from Egypt and Bison grass. Base notes are warm and addictive, incorporating Lebanese cedar, amber, patchouli and a surprising hint of vanilla.

Burberry's new fragrance, Brit, evokes Burberry's rich heritage and modern style sensibility. The plaid design on the bottle and box recall the strong traditional house identity.

Dunhill is a fragrance for the man who sees no contradiction between effortless style and a bold, assured masculinity. Top notes combine the clarity of lemon with the strength of character of geranium. Middle notes of white cedar wood and orris create a masculine sophistication and bottom notes of sandalwood, tonka bean, moss and musk embody a unique free spirit.

Collectable bottles and intoxicating fragrances

MDCI, creators of exceptional fragrances in unforgettable crystal bottles, has launched a new fragrance for men. Contained in a crystal bottle in the classic image of a Roman emperor, MDCI balances powerful notes of oak moss and vetiver, sandalwood, palissandre, leather, Darjeeling tea, amber, musk and vanilla with hints of jasmine, lily-of-the-valley and violet. Bergamot, grapefruit, pineapple, melon, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, basil, thyme, absynth and lavender complete this unique fragrance. Each bottle, with a detailed stopper made by the ancient and painstaking "lost-wax" method, is mouth-blown, piece by piece, by some of the last crystal blowers in France. Each piece, signed and numbered, is unique. With just a few pieces produced, these uncommon fragrances are certain to remain what they are intended to be, rare artefacts for a limited number of individuals with a taste for the unique and the beautiful.
