To explore perfume trends in 2026, EL KAYAN has four tracks in its collection: gourmand vanilla, milky accords, fruits and musks. This editorial selection is used to discover styles. It does not constitute a ranking of searches or sales in the French market.
A trend can make you want to smell something new, without having to replace your usual perfume. Use the directions below to prepare for a trial, then decide based on what you like to wear.
Vanilla in several combinations
Vanilla can accompany a fruity opening, a caramel accord or woody notes. In the collection, Vanilla Pop announces pear, violet, vanilla, caramel and sugar. Its description allows us to explore a direction that is both fruity and gourmand.
To compare other associations, consult the vanilla perfume guide. The choice is not just about liking vanilla or not: its neighboring notes also count.
Creamy and milky accords
Milky describes an impression of milk or cream. This facet can encounter caramel, coconut or flowers. Éclaire announces in particular caramel, milk, white flowers, honey, vanilla, praline and musk.
The guide to milky accords specifies this vocabulary. A milk accord is not information on the presence of a dairy ingredient in the formula.
Fruits as a starting point
A fruit note can guide the first choice, but the description of the heart and the base makes it possible to better predict the direction. To discover our collection, read the information sheets Bubble Lychee and Pomme Interdite, then compare the other announced notes.
Our fruity guide helps distinguish between fresh and gourmand impressions. A fruit note alone does not predict staying power.
Musks and the search for a close presence
The style second skin corresponds to a desire for intimate perception. It may interest people who prefer to smell their perfume at a short distance. However, not all musky scents behave the same way.
In a test, distinguish the duration on the skin from the diffusion around you. The guide to three dimensions avoid confusing discretion with lack of dress.
How to transform a discovery into a personal choice?
- Choose a single direction that intrigues you.
- Identify two perfumes whose associations differ.
- Try them separately and note their progress.
- Ask yourself which one you want to wear again, beyond the novelty effect.
You can follow the test method and check the formats of the Discovery Set. This approach helps to use trends as personal inspiration.
