Wellness and self-care have never been more important, and in beauty, the top bridal scent trend leans into fragrance that resonates with vibrations and positive energy. It reflects the fact that manifestation has gone mainstream. The intentions we put out to the universe to bring abundance into our lives in the form of health, happiness, love, and finances have never been so popular. But, where does fragrance fit on our vision boards? It sits very neatly into what’s happening in the perfume world right now, and manifesting through aroma is the hottest bridal scent trend of the moment.

2026 Bridal Scent Trend

Positive thoughts and high vibrations are a major trend in fragrance in general for 2026. And amid the vision boards and mantras, there is a big move to learn how to manifest abundance for many reasons. Many people felt 2025 was a draining year, and they hope this year will bring change to their lives, whether in finance, love, health, or family. This is having a huge impact on the scent world, where perfume is no longer just something you put on in the morning, or something you spritz on top of another for scent-maxxing. Your fragrance can become a ritualistic part of your day, and it could just be that your choice of scent could help you manifest a more abundant life.

Mood-Boosting Fragrance

New scents are launching that function in line with the limbic system, that part of our brain where memories are triggered from notes in scent. Neuro-aromatherapy is one way to manipulate your mood through scent, and some very interesting scents have been launched around this concept, like Moods, which includes an hour-long playlist to get your brain into the right state, depending on how you wish to feel. But this bridal scent trend goes further than that, and if you are looking to manifest love abundance ahead of your wedding day, this is what you need to know.

Shopping Trends

People are shopping for cleaner, more linear scents that purr rather than roar. Signature scents are disappearing as your only fragrance in life, because people want to mix and blend different scents together for a unique aroma. Scent-maxxing is huge for 2026, and because of it, fewer 100ml bottles are selling, since it would take forever to finish if it is just occasional wear. Instead, 30ml and 50ml bottles are a better buy because you’ll finish them before they go off. And there is one brand that seems to be at the forefront to embrace the high vibrations and positive energy needed to manifest abundance with a clearer vision this year. If you are veering towards a niche scent for your wedding, Vyrao is worth a look because it fits this bridal scent trend perfectly.

Manifesting Abundance

Vyrao is an interesting perfume line from Yasmin Sewell (above), an Australian native and Reiki practitioner with a stellar fashion career. She worked at Browns, Liberty, and Farfetch, and she discovered Jonathan Anderson, who is now head designer at Dior. She says that intuition has always guided her career decisions, and that high-vibrational thinking led her to create Vyrao, the scent brand that will be huge this year. Sewell’s scents are based on neuroscience, and the brand has worked with global ingredient experts at IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances) to select the right notes to boost the wearer’s energy. Each of Vyrao’s fragrances serves a different purpose, like calming, energising, or grounding, but the one most associated with empowerment is The Sixth EDP, an uplifting scent with sacred herbs, €200/50ml. Magnetic 70 is more related to love and sensuality. Here, vetiver and cedarwood encourage grounding and positivity, while frankincense, juniper wood, and elemi add illumination, €170/50ml. Each scent comes with an affirmation to recite as you spray, and a super-energised Herkimer diamond quartz rests inside the 50ml bottles.

For meditation or manifesting abundance in 2026, we think these scents are going to be huge and will lead the way for this emerging bridal scent trend.
