Derek Lam 10 Crosby Looking Glass by Derek Lam 10 Crosby Eau De Parfum Spray for Women

Derek Lam 10 Crosby Looking Glass is a floral unisex fragrance released in 2016 that transports you to an otherworldly garden where contrasts come alive. Built around a creamy, velvety magnolia heart, this perfume blends delicate bloom with warm, dessert-inspired notes for a modern, versatile scent.

What makes Looking Glass truly distinctive is its harmonious interplay between fresh floral brightness and cozy gourmand warmth. The creamy Chinese magnolia sits at the core, delivering a lush, white-flower bouquet, while hints of tonka bean introduce a soft sweetness. Subtle whispers of coffee, almond, and cherry weave through the composition, creating a dessert-like finish that never overwhelms the floral elegance.

• — Chinese magnolia as the signature heart, with supporting notes of tonka bean, coffee, almond, and cherry to add depth and a subtle gourmand edge.
• — a floral-gourmand profile designed for those who want a fragrance that feels both refined and contemporary, suitable for any gender.
• — ideal for day-to-evening wear in spring and cooler months, from office meetings to intimate dinners.

This fragrance is crafted for fragrance enthusiasts who seek more than a pretty floral. It’s for people who want a scent that stays relevant across occasions—from a polished daytime look to a warm, inviting evening aura. If you’ve enjoyed magnolia-forward scents but crave a richer, dessert-inspired twist, Looking Glass delivers that fresh-to-gourmand journey in a single bottle.

How to wear — Apply to pulse points (wrists, sides of the neck) and allow the scent to bloom as it dries down. A light mist behind the ears and on the décolletage ensures a balanced projection that fades gracefully rather than overwhelming. For longer wear, consider a fragrance-mading approach: pair with a fragrance-neutral lotion to extend the magnolia bouquet and keep the gourmand notes present without bitterness.

Why choose this over other floral fragrances — unlike pure florals that lean exclusively feminine or ordinary gourmands that miss bloom, Looking Glass blends a lush magnolia heart with warm, roasted notes. The result is a contemporary, unisex scent that feels sophisticated, approachable, and memorable in both close-up and around you—perfect for anyone who loves a floral perfume with a comforting, dessert-inspired finish.
