We’ve seen several A-list stars surprise us with new fragrances throughout 2024, and Beyoncé is the next one in line. Beyoncé announced the return of Beyoncé Parfums with the new scent Cé Lumière and unveiled its bottle and more details before the official launch.

According to the singer’s official press release, Cé Lumière is a fragrance created in France, encased in art crafted and designed by the artist herself, which “features a unique blend of notes that include Madagascar black pepper and Italian mandarin in the top, jasmine sambac absolute and rhubarb in the heart, and Indonesian patchouli and skin musk in the base.”

The perfume’s name Lumière originates from the French word for “light” and the first promo materials reflect it perfectly. Beyoncé shared the video of Cé Lumière taking center stage, while the sun rises on the horizon to illuminate it, in addition to posting the photo of her darkly lit silhouette, waiting for the rays of sunshine to light up her face.

Cé Lumière still doesn’t have an official release date, but it’s available for pre-order on Beyoncé’s official website for $160. It’s not Beyoncé’s first foray into the world of fragrances – she launched her first perfume in 2010 and returned to this arena a decade later with Cé Noir just last year.
