Esxence 2026 mega recap! - Fragrance Updates ep20

In this episode of Fragrance Updates, I’m taking you with me to Esxence 2026 for a full recap of one of the biggest and most exciting events in niche perfumery. This video begins with a more personal vlog-style look at day one, before moving into a broader discussion of what Esxence actually is, what the experience is like, how entry works, what a professional pass means, and what you can realistically expect if you’re thinking of attending. The biggest part of the video is a full breakdown of my Esxence 2026 purchases, acquisitions, and standout brand experiences. I go through the fragrances I came home with, the houses that left the strongest impression, and the brands I most wanted to highlight after spending time at the fair. If you’re interested in Esxence Milan, niche fragrance discoveries, luxury perfume launches, behind-the-scenes impressions from the fair, and a deep dive into the brands that mattered most to me this year, this is the video for you. This is a long one, but it’s meant to be a true Esxence guide, recap, haul, and fragrance discussion all in one. Were you at Esxence 2026, or which brand caught your attention the most this year?
