July 2025 beauty launches: a curated collection of six new releases
July 2025 brings a range of new beauty launches, including a fragrant hair oil, dual-ended make-up brush, and a minimalist yet poetic duo of cologne. Here’s a look at the latest releases—you might find a new favourite.
Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum
Gabrielle Chanel’s philosophy of balance and duality is embodied in this Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum. It’s the brand’s first serum infused with two types of micro- bubbles, each enriched with potent white camellia extracts and hyaluronic acid. Harnessing microfluidic technology, the bubbles release their actives upon contact, delivering 24-hour hydration, strengthening the skin barrier, and offering an immediate plumping effect. Blue bubbles restore volume via camellia oleo-extract; clear ones nourish with camellia oil.
Miss Dior Hair Oil
The spirit of Miss Dior takes a new form in this delicate, alcohol-free elixir that is infused with nourishing rose wax. Lightweight and non-sticky, the formula glides through the hair without residue, softening strands while imparting the floral signature of the iconic fragrance. Designed for effortless application through the ends, it perfumes as it perfects.
Charlotte Tilbury Super Nudes Shapewear Brush
Charlotte Tilbury channels decades of backstage expertise into the Super Nudes Shapewear Brush, a dual-ended sculpting tool crafted for precision and ease. Part of the new Super Nudes collection, the brush has an angled tip for definition and a feather- soft tapered end for seamless blending. Whether contouring cheekbones or refining the nose, it delivers an undetectable, naturally contoured finish that is suited to every face and skill level.
Penhaligon’s Fortuitous Finley
This is a fragrance of subtle tension and quiet charm, conjuring manicured gardens, private estates, and discreet intrigue. A brisk burst of cardamom and black pepper leads to an unexpected heart of salted pistachio, violet, and matcha. The base of patchouli, orris, and leather is both textured and grounded.
Clarins Renew-Plus Body Serum
Designed to firm, tone and rejuvenate, Renew-Plus Body Serum’s silky, collagen-boosting formula features a powerful tripeptide complex and natural- origin silica microbeads for smoother, more radiant skin. A veil of floral, woody and musky notes create a lasting sensory experience.
Henry Jacques Il Y Avait Un Jardin
Ever at the forefront of haute parfumerie, Henry Jacques unveils Il Y Avait Un Jardin (There Was a Garden)—a minimalist yet poetic duo of cologne- inspired compositions presented in weighty green laboratory glass. I, the first scent, opens with sunlit bergamot, lemon, and bitter orange, brightened by rosemary. A heart of orange blossom and lavender gives way to the lingering freshness of petitgrain and rosewood, grounded in sandalwood, benzoin, and cistus. II, the second scent, evokes a radiant stroll through a citrus orchard with lemon, bergamot, and mandarin unfolding into herbal petitgrain and rosewood, softened by lavender. Nutmeg adds warmth, while tonka bean, ambered cistus, and vetiver leave an earthy, sensual trail.
