New York – October 01, 2026 -- Pop star Tate McRae has launched her first signature fragrance, TATE 01, developed with Scent Beauty, Inc. and priced from $30 to $82 for sizes between 10ml and 100ml.

The scent blends bergamot with amber and sandalwood

Perfumers Adriana Medina and Antoine Maisondieu of Givaudan built TATE 01 around a top note of sparkling bergamot and clary sage, moving into white florals before settling into amber, tonka bean, sandalwood and soft woods. The formula is anchored by ISO E Super, a molecule designed to interact with individual skin chemistry so the scent shifts slightly from wearer to wearer.

McRae said she wears the fragrance during rehearsals, describing it as a layer that "warms up and moves with my body" rather than sitting on top of it.

He added that the brand now delivers real support in trend-forward styles consumers want to wear daily.

Avanos says the OTC product shares the same core technology and functionality as its prescription-only Game Ready system, though labeling, packaging, and indications have been adjusted for general consumer use.

The prescription system will continue to be used for clinical, post-surgical, and healthcare provider-directed treatment, while the new OTC version is marketed for general recovery and wellness.

New York – – September 30, 2026 -- Tmrw, a daily longevity drink formulated to replace more than 20 individual supplements with a single scoop, officially launched in the U.S. today.

Founders Anthony Baxter and Stuart Vaughan, previously behind Simply Nootropics, spent more than two years and over 100 formulation iterations developing the product. Baxter said the idea grew from watching customers stack one supplement for energy, another for gut health and another for longevity, and from his own burnout while running a high-growth digital agency.
