Ouai's Laurel Canyon Fragrance Features Fig
Ouai's new Laurel Canyon fragrance features fig leaf, green mandarin, and almond milk top notes, with a heart of jasmine and a woody, musky base.
Ouai has launched a new fragrance called Laurel Canyon, which places the note of fig at the forefront. The scent is described as airy yet grounding, taking inspiration from canyon roads.
The fragrance opens with a blend of fresh fig leaf, green mandarin, and almond milk. It develops into a heart of jasmine, violet petals, and orris root. The scent settles into base notes of cedarwood, soft musk, and tonka bean.
Other Notable Launches
This week's beauty introductions also include a first hairspray from Olaplex, an updated foundation from Fenty Beauty, and a debut mascara from Fara Homidi.
Fara Homidi Beauty's first mascara, Pool Slick Lash Lacquer, arrives in two shades. The ultra-black shade is called glassy obsidian Absolu, and the silken walnut brown is named Cabana. The product promises lifted, volumised lashes with a glossy, smudge-proof finish and uses a precision-curved wand for definition.
Olaplex is entering the styling category with its Shape Set hairspray. The brand claims a "shape preserve" complex provides flexible hold using high-performance polymers and a plant-based extract. The formula includes moisture-replenishing actives and glossing agents said to deliver weightless nourishment, hydration, and shine.
UKLash introduced a Lash Lift Gel that combines treatment and primer functions. It aims to lift, set, and define lashes with an all-day hold. Ingredients include Vitamin E, glycerin, and hexapeptide-1 to condition lashes, while a sheer caramel pigment may gradually tint fair lashes over time.
Danessa Myricks Beauty launched the Glosswork 4D Ultra Shine Plumping Lip Gloss. It utilizes the brand's CushionWrap technology and a peptide plumping complex to enhance lip volume, smoothness, and hydration. The gloss comes in 14 shades and can be worn alone or layered.
Fenty Beauty revealed a reimagined version of its Pro Filt'r foundation. The new formula, developed over three years in Japan, uses Fluid Flex Foundation Technology. The brand says it offers medium, buildable, matte coverage that is waterproof and resists sweat, humidity, and transfer. The launch adds 50 new shades, with more neutrals and fine-tuned undertones.
