November's full supermoon is upon us, and we’re ready for cuffing season’s most luxurious fragrances.
Are you prepared for the thick and decadent fragrances that define the upcoming season? Richly layered compositions deliver the sensory depth that cooler months demand.
This full moon—the Beaver Moon arriving November 5th—is no ordinary lunar moment. It’s 2025’s closest and brightest supermoon, just 221,817 miles from Earth. At its peak, it will appear 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical full moon, commanding the night sky with an energy that mirrors what we crave in our scent wardrobes.
The show is golden. As the supermoon rises near the horizon on November 4th, it will glow in deep shades of red, orange, and amber—caused by Earth’s atmosphere scattering cooler light and letting warm tones dominate. Step outside just after sunset and look east: a golden-orange moon ascends, radiating the kind of warmth that turns autumn into pure luxury.
Astrologically, the impact is just as powerful. This supermoon lands in Taurus—the sign of sensuality, comfort, and pleasure—opposite the sun in Scorpio, evoking the tension between having and transforming. Spiritually, the Beaver Moon symbolizes preparation, patience, and gratitude—a moment to anchor ourselves in stability and release what unsettles our peace. As the year wanes, this lunation calls us to honor what truly nourishes us and to root in what feels real and enduring.
While we believe “seasonality” in fragrance is a construct, let’s be clear—when temperatures drop, we do crave richness and presence.
Skip the restraint. Seek the bold, the stark, and the larger-than-life. We call upon the power of this full moon to break our fears of being too extra. Let’s collectively channel our brightest light in the months to come—because if the closest moon of the year can shine 30% brighter and glow in golden-orange brilliance, surely we can too.
This season calls for full, unapologetic commitment to our own personal intensity.

Shaman Perfumery brings a plunge into darkness, courtesy of Tada from Thailand.
Yes, that's right...Tada Perfumer has an exciting new project!
Each creation is crafted from seemingly simple notes with deeply immersive results. Myrrh, historically used as a ritual protector, now makes an appearance as a haunting, deceptive accord—danger flirting with allure.
Vanilla Bourbon draws on the remarkable legacy of Edmond Albius, whose ingenuity made vanilla possible nearly everywhere. For the vanilla devotees, this is the love letter you’ve been waiting for.
This collection is proof that great perfumery is a series of stories, expertly told—a passport to creativity & individuality.
OrdioLab is truly an artisanal house—not just in name, but in practice.
each fragrance features a handcrafted element that reflects a dedication to artistry and quality. This creative collective ventures down familiar roads only to find new meaning with every blend. Wild Jasmine is a standout—like walking through a jasmine field at dusk. You can sense the green freshness and floral peak unfolding together into an indescribable experience.
Mint Rose, an Art and Olfaction winner, captures the beauty of opposites in harmony: both dominant notes dissolve into a seamless blend where every molecule connects.

We’re thrilled to welcome Annindriya to the Stéle collection.
Tipsy Tuberose has quickly become the talk of the tuberose crowd—think coming home from a night out: a little boozy, a little sultry, and just rebellious enough to keep you guessing. This collection exudes craftsmanship by renowned perfumers.
Let’s not forget Vetiver Rain by the brilliant Christophe Laudamiel. It doesn’t take you into a literal forest, but into the memory of wet greenery—unmistakably vivid, absolutely captivating.
A must try, grab the discovery set if you're intrigued.
Sarah Baker’s fragrances have finally graced us, direct from London.
These scents don’t whisper—they make an entrance, bold and unapologetic. New to niche? You might want to start elsewhere; Sarah’s collection is anything but shy. Our current infatuation: Pastel Rumours. We’re halfway through our own bottle already.
It’s a peachy, creamy vanilla that doesn’t just taste like indulgence—it dares you to forget about calories altogether. Fruity cereal (yup, a fruit loop note!), pastel shades, and high-contrast glamour—it’s a technicolor dream.
This house is unabashed in their creations—they don’t sidestep; they look you straight in the eye and dare you to strut.
Byermia is an artisanal fragrance house founded by Ashek Zubayer and based in Australia, drawing deep inspiration from Bangladeshi culture and traditions.
The brand is dedicated to transforming the way people experience scent, artfully blending layers of rare, natural ingredients to create fragrances rich in lore.
Each Byermia perfume is crafted by hand, capturing life’s significant moments or mythological tales through complex, multifaceted blends that evolve intriguingly on skin—often eliciting that “What are you wearing?” reaction from those around you.
Ashek Zubayer’s approach combines the elegance of vintage perfumery with modern innovation, notably using globally sourced oud, florals, and musks to create scents that are bold, emotional, and impossible to ignore.
Baruti, led by neuroscientist Dr. Spyros Drosopoulos from Amsterdam, reflects cerebral and scientific intensity.
Spyros is a name revered in the indie fragrance community, a mentor and a perfumer who pushes boundaries. The meaning “gunpowder” in Greek is quite apt, as explosive, conceptual fragrances like Mono No Aware (matcha, cherry blossom, cedarwood) and Chai (masala spices, tea, cocoa, steamed milk) have the receipts for the claim.
And can we talk about Hot Cotton? It smells exactly as it sounds, bringing the memories of a fresh pile of laundry right out of your grandmothers dryer. You know, the same clothes dryer she's had since you were a child and has never once, broken.
Another wonderful discovery set to explore.
Cult of Kaori has landed — and they’re almost sold out!
Perfumer Chris Undi has the rare ability to create transportive experiences in fragrance. The concepts are straightforward and miraculously executed.
Melon Masu is so delectable you’ll want to spray it in your mouth (please don’t). Pear, sake, and cucumber swirl together into cool, fruity magic.
Onsen Minerale is pure perfection — take two deep breaths, close your eyes, and spray. You’ll be transported to Osaka, soaking in an onsen, relaxed as if you were back in the womb. These are photo-realistic scents, so if perfection’s not your thing, we don’t know what to tell you.
Odette Parfum, an independent fragrance house based in New York, is now available at Stéle in Williamsburg!
Known for sophisticated gourmand scents with French-inspired notes, Madeline offers a standout experience: coconut, chantilly cream, almond cake, tonka bean, and vanilla marzipan blend into an elevated, sweet profile with a powdery, delicate cookie note as described in official materials.
The collection is crafted to indulge a sweet tooth while maintaining refined complexity.
Odette crafts fragrances that evoke nostalgia, imagination, and artistry, drawing inspiration from themes of romance and the graceful world of ballet. Each scent is designed to capture the elegance and emotion found in performance and aesthetic storytelling.
