Known for their game-changing cosmetics and controvers­ycourting product names, NARS ups the ante with Audacious, a fragrance that breaks convention by combining contrastin­g notes rather than blending compatible ones. Keeping with the theme of light versus dark, top notes of rich white frangipani and smoke of incense give way to middle notes of Tiare flower, Ylang Ylang essential oil, and woodsy Sandalwood, before opening up to base notes of White cedar essential oil and velvety White Musk.

Housed in a sleek, minimalist, and modern bottle that is sure to stand out in makeup counters, Audacious is all at once unexpected but exactly the kind of scent a house like NARS would release, in time for their 25th anniversar­y.
