Tate McRae's first fragrance, TATE 01 Eau de Parfum, launched in October 2026. If the debut has caught your attention, the useful next step is to look beyond the name and explore its scent direction: fresh aromatic notes, white florals and a warmer woody foundation.
A verified new fragrance release
Scent Beauty announced the launch on October 1, 2026, identifying TATE 01 as McRae's fragrance debut. That makes this a new-release guide, rather than simply a description of an established perfume newly added to MNF. The MNF listing linked here is for this specific Eau de Parfum in an 8mL travel format.
What does TATE 01 smell like?
The official brand description opens with bergamot and clary sage, moves into white florals, and describes a warmer direction of amber, tonka, sandalwood and soft woods. Its detailed note presentation also identifies orange flower, Hedione and ISO E Super, with moss and tonka in the base.
For a shopper, the useful idea is contrast: an aromatic citrus beginning alongside a softer floral and woody character. It gives you several things to investigate, rather than relying on “fresh” or “warm” as a complete description. Your own impression of the balance may differ from another person's.
What do the less familiar note names mean?
Hedione and ISO E Super are names used in perfumery, so you may see them alongside familiar flowers and woods on a note list. You do not need to identify each material separately to choose a perfume. Start by noticing whether you enjoy the finished floral and woody textures and how they sit with the brighter opening.
A note list describes a scent direction; it is not a requirement to detect every item or a precise timetable. Our guide to fragrance notes explains how to use that information without making sampling feel like a test.
Who might want to explore it?
- You enjoy fresh openings but also want warmth. Notice whether the later woody direction holds your interest.
- You are curious about aromatic notes. Pay attention to the clary-sage side beside the citrus.
- You want to judge a new release for yourself. Set aside the launch excitement and ask whether you would reach for the scent again.
Give a new release more than one first impression
Try a modest amount on a day when you can notice it at different stages, then revisit it on a separate day. Write down what stood out at first and what you enjoyed later. Avoid assuming online enthusiasm guarantees a match, or that a description of a close-feeling scent guarantees a particular projection level on your skin.
If you are choosing a regular fragrance rather than collecting a launch, our signature-scent guide can help you make the decision around your preferences and routine.
