01 - Aesop Virēre EDP, SGD185 for 50 ML
Deriving its name from a Latin verb that means ‘to be green’ or ‘to be full of life’, Aesop’s 11th fragrance bottles the restorative nature of the great outdoors. A woody aromatic scent, Virēre conjures images of a serene Mediterranean morning spent beneath sun warmed fig trees.
Notes of galbanum and petitgrain come together with sparkling bergamot. There’s also green tea, pink pepper and an infusion of fresh fig. The addition of cedar, green mate and hay further help reveal the multifaceted character of fig. AESOP
02 - Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid EDP, from SGD155 for 30 ML
An evolution of the original Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia, Gucci’s latest bloom takes gourmand richness to new heights. Indeed, the new Gorgeous Orchid is the maison’s first ozonic floral gourmand fragrance.
The unconventional fusion weaves together the sweetness of vanilla with marine notes. It further highlights the sensuality of vanilla orchid for a creamy floral that delivers an airy brightness. GUCCI
03 - Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM EDP, SGD343 for 70 ML
Two become one with perfumer Francis Kurkdjian’s latest reinterpretation of the maison’s emblematic APOM (A Part Of Me) perfumes. Originally a pair of complementary fragrances, one was for women while the other was for the men. They now unite as one single scent that transcends gender.
The new aromatic amber floral juice immediately reveals its familiar signature on the skin, but with a modern twist. A luminous orange blossom and fragrant lavender accord gives way to a warm and delicate trail of vanilla and white musks, enhanced by sunny ylang-ylang. MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN

An homage to whisky cocktails and endless nights of mischief and rhythm, its woody spicy blend keeps any party going.
The recipe? A perfectly aged whisky with a twist of refreshing bergamot, along with a harmony of raspberry and patchouli. As for the baseline, notes of oak, cedarwood and smoke ensure a night to remember. PENHALIGON’S
