The Balmain x H&M collaboration has been eagerly anticipated ever since Kendall Jenner, Jourdan Dunn, and Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing made the announcement at the Billboard Music Awards back in May. The limited edition collection launches in stores and online on November 5 (but there’s a VIP launch party tonight), and the images have already created a frenzy despite pricey $500+ price tags. But now there’s a new reason to celebrate: A Balmain x H&M fragrance.

Launching in stores and online on December 3, the exclusive, limited edition Eau de Parfume comes in a stylish gold bottle and is the first beauty component to an H&M designer collaboration. With top notes of tonka bean and white jasmine petals, a heart of blond woods and cedar Texas, and base notes of white musk and Australian Sandalwood, this warm, woody scent is a cozy-feeling fall fragrance. Best of all, it clocks in at an ultra affordable $40.

You may have your heart set on that $550 pearl-embellished blazer that Kendall Jenner nabbed early, but as well all know, H&M collaboration launches (think Versace and Alexander Wang) can sell out in minutes, only to be found on eBay for triple the price. This fragrance, which is set to launch weeks after the garments are ancient history, will likely be far easier to obtain and much more practical for your bank account.
