Billie Eilish’s Your Turn II: a fresh-woody plot twist I didn’t see coming

I’ll admit it. When a celebrity brand announces “another flanker,” my eye twitches a little. But Billie Eilish has been quietly rewriting the rulebook. After the vanilla glow of Eilish and the inky, skin-hugging woods of Eilish No. 2, we now get Your Turn II - billed as fresh and woody - following the clean, contemporary profile of Your Turn from earlier this year.

If Your Turn was a cool, just-showered T-shirt with a cedar hanger vibe, Your Turn II sounds like it leans into that wood grain without drowning it in cologne clichés. Fresh-woody can go two ways: bracing citrus on top of pencil-shavings, or a saline, musky breeze over pale woods. The Eilish line has favored intimacy over foghorn projection, so I’m betting on the second route - a skin-close freshness with a milky-cedar undertow, maybe a whisper of driftwood and modern musks rather than aftershave bite.

I haven’t had proper wrist time yet, but here’s what matters. If you loved the airy-clean minimalism of Your Turn, this should feel like the polished B-side - more timber, same uncluttered mood. If you bounced off the frosting of early celebrity scents, Your Turn II might be the palette cleanser you’ve been waiting for. Think easy daily wear, office-safe, gym-bag friendly, and surprisingly alluring at close range. If it mirrors Your Turn, expect moderate sillage, better-than-expected persistence on fabric, and that crystalline diffusive effect you get from modern wood molecules.

What I appreciate is the intent. Instead of chasing syrup with louder syrup, this franchise is exploring freshness without smelling like a locker room. That’s rarer than it should be. If your shelf currently swings from sandalwood shampoos to iso-e halo perfumes, pencil in Your Turn II. If you live for vanilla cake batter, this won’t scratch that itch - and that’s exactly why it could be the most interesting celebrity launch right now.

File this under: quiet luxury for people who hate that phrase, cedar for people who swear they “don’t do woods,” and a smart second chapter to Your Turn that keeps the conversation tight and modern.
