With Christmas just around the corner, now is the perfect opportunity to get ahead of the pack and treat someone special (or yourself!) to a new scent, and leave those summer fragrances far behind. And there's certainly plenty of choice out there; this year has seen an abundance of new scents arrive on the market, as well as makeovers for some of our favourite classics. Here's our top ten fragrances you need to try immediately...
Gucci Bloom has fast become one of the most popular releases of the year - and the super chic, minimalist pink packaging was always going to draw in fashion and beauty lovers alike. The scent is a fresh, light, floral-infused offering, which totally matches its namesake.

The bold, jewel-inspired scent from Michael Kors is a sumptuous offering, encased in scarlet packaging with contrasting gold detail. Like many of the designer's fragrances, it is fruity and super sweet, with top notes of raspberry and peach.

No-one creates classic scents quite like Jo Malone, and this year's offering of English Oak and Hazelnut is no exception. This woody scent has arrived just in time for autumn and features top notes of hazelnut, cedar, amber and roasted oak that will have you dreaming of enchanted woodlands (check out the exquisite campaign imagery.)

Millennial brand of the moment, Glossier, finally arrived on British soil this month, and its most recent new product is a delightful fragrance, entitled Glossier You. Housed in typically fuss-free packaging, this blush pink bottle, topped with a contrasting red lid, houses a musky, subtle scent, which has top notes of pink-pepper and iris root.

It's the first fragrance that Chanel have produced in over 15 years, (after Chanel Chance in 2002) and Chanel Gabrielle is the epitome of a cult classic. The bottle looks highly similar to the iconic Chanel NO5, and boasts a signature glass square bottle. The scent itself is a feminine floral with hints of sandalwood and blackcurrant, as well as orange blossom and Grasse tuberose. Heavenly!
Chanel Gabrielle, £79, Debenhams
Juicy Couture's fragrances always look as good as they smell, and the all new Juicy Viva La Glam Glace Eau de Parfum is a frothy, iridescent delight, topped with pink marabou! The fresh scent has top notes of juicy pear and mandarin, as well as sumptuous vanilla and jasmine petals.

Tiffany and Co, the iconic jewellers, is already a cult brand, and this year it launched a new fragrance, housed in a distinctive Tiffany blue box. The geometric glass bottle is inspired by the 128.54 carat Tiffany diamond, and is a radiant, fresh fragrance which has top notes of patchouli and mandarin. A must for any T&Co fan.

Marc Jacobs returns with another one of his adorable handbag scents, this year titled So Decadent. The bottle features a bold green snakeskin print and chain detailing, while the fragrance combines a heady concoction of green ivy, sweet raspberry and pink Lily of the Valley, for a unique, so decadent scent...

This beautiful bottle slightly differs from the original, iconic Chloe fragrance; it comes with a hand-tied, gold thread ribbon, and the scent is a stronger, rosier version of its older sister. It is super fresh, and has essences of Damascena and Centifolia rose, which creates a divine floral fusion.
Chloe Absolu De Parfum, from £75, House of Fraser
Who can resist such an adorable bottle? And the fragrance inside more than lives up to expectations. Twilly de Hermes is made up of ginger, tuberose and sandalwood, and is the perfect from day-to night fragrance, both spicy and oriental.
