Guerlain: L’Heure Bleue Eau de Parfum
One of the greatest fragrances of all time, L’Heure Bleue is a poetic blend of romance and melancholy. Created by Jacques Guerlain in 1912 to conjure the blue hour just after sunset and before sunrise, with notes of violet and iris, it’s bottled with a stopper that looks like an upside-down heart. Now master perfumer Delphine Jelk has reimagined the scent, combining a new take on iris with orange blossom, an airy ozonic accord, and warm vanilla. It’s a beauty for today, and it still has that signature heart. ($145, guerlain.com)

Biologique Recherche: Serum Vivant
If you’re a member of the Biologique Recherche cult, happy birthday—the skin-care line has a new serum. It’s designed to help adult acne, using the same yeast extract found in the brand’s beloved Masque Vivant to strengthen the skin’s microbiome. Yes, it’s slightly smelly—would you have it any other way?—with a vinegary odor that fans have learned to love. Yes, it comes in a bottle that looks like it’s meant to feed a baby monkey. Massage a few drops onto clean skin in the morning and evening and watch as balance returns, redness subsides, and blemishes beat a hasty retreat. ($195, biologique-recherche.com)
