Beyoncé’s just dropped her latest fragrance, Cé Lumière, and it’s already turning heads (and noses) everywhere. After last year’s hit, Cé Noir, the singer is back with a scent that practically radiates warmth and light—perfect timing for the holiday season. This one’s available for preorder now and officially ships out in November, so here’s everything you need to know to grab yours.

A Spicy, Bright Opening to Keep You Hooked

Rumor has it that Cé Lumière has a way of getting you right from the start. The fragrance opens with a burst of Madagascar black pepper that’s spicy yet sophisticated, balanced by a fresh, zesty hit of Italian mandarin. It’s that kind of bold opening that pulls you in and makes you want to keep experiencing it, layer by layer. And just when you think you’ve figured it out, the scent opens up further, revealing a lush heart of jasmine sambac with a surprising twist of rhubarb for a touch of tartness. 

A Lasting Impression: The Heart and Base That Linger

Where Cé Lumière really shines is in its dry-down. The base notes settle into rich Indonesian patchouli and a hint of skin musk. This combination creates a warm, enveloping finish that stays with you all day. Think of it as the kind of scent that makes you feel confident and radiant, whether you’re stepping into a holiday party or just enjoying a cozy night in.

“Any venture or project that Beyoncé does, there is always a clear intent,” says Janki Lalani Gandhi. Gandhi is the managing director of Parkwood Ventures, the company that produces the fragrance. “With fragrance the approach is to launch one new scent a year that ties to her universe.”

The Bottle: A Piece of Art with a Touch of Magic

And of course, there’s the bottle! Designed to represent “light,” it’s a full glow-up from last year’s Cé Noir, with warm, gilded hues that look straight from a sun-kissed desert dream. Topped with a half-domed cap and architectural edges, it’s the kind of bottle you’ll want to display front and center. Beyoncé even teased us with an Instagram video showing a sunrise lighting up the bottle—talk about setting the mood!
