Harry Styles is branching into the world of fragrances with his inaugural collection from Pleasing, once again crossing new frontiers, this time exploring the artistry of scent.
FRAGRANCE
The singer threw a glamorous party in London on Monday night, drawing in a constellation of celebrities to commemorate the launch of his fragrance line. Comprising scents named Bright, Hot; Closeness, and Rivulets – showcases a sophisticated yet relaxed aesthetic, perfectly aligning with Styles’s persona.

The creation of these fragrances was a collaborative effort with renowned perfumer Jérôme Epinette, known for his work with Byredo and Victoria Beckham. ‘Rivulets’, presented in a striking blue and red bottle reminiscent of Styles’s ‘As It Was’ jumpsuits, offers an intriguing blend described as “a delightful encounter with a stranger.” The scent combines notes of skin musk, amber, lemon, and white linen, evoking a sense of spontaneous adventure.
‘Bright, Hot’ is a woody-amber fragrance inspired by the sunny visuals and yellow attire featured in Styles’s ‘Golden’ music video. It merges the aromas of plum, tobacco, vanilla, and the ocean. ‘Closeness’ takes a sensual turn with notes of cashmere wood, salted musk, and cardamom, echoing the sultry lyrics from ‘Music for a Sushi Restaurant’.
Not just the fragrances but even the packaging speaks volumes of Styles’s attention to detail. The bottles feature a unique curved bottom, a subtle homage to Harry’s dynamic stage presence.
And what’s a Harry Styles venture without a fashion element? Hot on the heels of the fragrance launch, Styles is set to release a collection of knit sweaters, including the Swan version sported by the singer himself. These will be available for purchase from December 1 on Pleasing’s website. For those preferring an in-person experience, pop-up shops, including one at Selfridges Corner Shop in London, are opening today, offering a tactile glimpse into Styles’s latest creative endeavors.
