There’s always something about summer that calls for a shift in pace and this season, many beauty houses have responded with thoughtful new launches that cater to our desire for texture, depth, and transformation. In this article, Spécial Madame Figaro curated a selection of standout products designed to help you maintain a fresh, effortless beauty routine all summer long, whether you're embracing the heat or chasing the glow.
Floral Scent
Gone are the days of dainty blooms. This summer, florals are taking on new energy. Aesop’s Aurner Eau de Parfum is a scent that is anything but expected. With magnolia leaf at its core and a swirl of Roman chamomile, pink pepper, and cedar, it’s a reminder that femininity doesn’t always mean fragility.
Imparting unfiltered joy, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum Intense enhances the floral freshness of the Gardenia flower with a rich, woody power.
Inspired by Chopard’s jewelry-making savoir-faire, Jasmin Malika is the newest radiant jewel in Chopard’s Malika Collection. A luminous floral chypre, this perfume plays with the facets of jasmine, expressing a soft, sensual glow that feels both timeless and modern.
A Bold Muse
For those chasing a more conceptual approach to scent, YSL Beauty’s Muse Inspiring Ink delivers. Smoky, woody, and wrapped in inky mystery, it feels less like a fragrance and more like a signature — perfect for those who like their summer with a side of edge.
Woods That Whisper
For those drawn to the darker, more enigmatic end of the spectrum, Amouage’s Opus XVI – Timber and Creed’s Oud Zarian both explore the primal pull of wood. While Amouage leans into the grandeur of ancient trees and Omani frankincense, Creed opts for intensity with a rare 80-year-old oud, softened only by flashes of bergamot and rose centifolia.
Skin-First Sensuality
The skin is summer’s most important canvas. Diptyque’s Fleur de Peau leans into this with a soft, musk-heavy blend that feels like second skin.
Airy yet expressive, Fleur de Peau reveals its full character on contact with the skin – an intimate signature that’s both pure and deeply personal.
Makeup That Moves with You
Keep your summer glow with Armani Beauty’s Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Shine that catches the light without ever overpowering.
It Cosmetics’ Glow with Confidence Sun Blush merges blush and bronzer into one sunlit swipe.
For lips that feel more like skincare than statement Lancôme’s Lip Idôle JuicyTreat is a glossy, cushiony dream. Infused with squalane, hyaluronic acid, and MaxiLip peptides, it’s as nourishing as it is addictive.
Eyes, Elevated
Whether you’re after a soft matte or a molten glaze, this summer’s eye offerings are here to play. Makeup by Mario’s Master Mattes Cream Eyeshadow brings sculpted elegance with minimal effort.
Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glaze-On Liquid Shadows give shimmer a more refined, wearable edge.
