The weighted cap references horn-look buttons while a hand tied knot in English-woven gabardine sits around the neck.

Guerlain launches the new L’Homme Idéal SPORT in July 2017. Thierry Wasser, Guerlain’s Master Perfumer, and Delphine Jelk, Guerlain Perfumer, have given the almond note a boost of vitality, energising it with fresh spices and a wave of aquatic notes.

The 50ml bottle is small enough to bring around with you or for your travels as it keeps you smelling refreshed.

Daisy by Marc Jacobs

The Daisy Marc Jacobs has been around for a decade. The sweet fresh and comforting scent has top notes of succulent wild berries and soft white violets. At the heart, velvety Jasmine wraps with each note enhances the vibrancy of the florals. A dreamy dry down of sandalwood imparts an aura of warmth and sensuality, creating a delicate and romantic contrast within the fragrance. This scent is the work of master perfumer Alberto Morillas.

The iconic Flacon is the embodiment of sophistication and vintage charm. The Daisy Flower is turned into a whimsical bottle shape with the weighted block of clear glass with soft rounded edges in classic and luxurious while the scattering of daisies blooming from the rounded gold metal hardware creates an unexpected retro-cool twist. However, the limited edition bottle features Daisy’s classic silhouette and signature fragrance in its purest form, updated with all white packaging. The glass is shiny white with gold metallic logo to complement its oversized white and gold cap.

The 100ml Daisy Marc Jacobs Limited Edition is priced at S$148.

 

Guerlain Oud Essentiale

Celebrate Oriental perfumery from Oman to Vietnam, through India, Laos and Camodia with Guerlian’s latest Oud Essentiale. Oud Essentiel: The Wood of the Gods is extremely precious. Oud is regarded as one of the favoured ingredients in perfumery and permeates hair and clothing in the Middle East.

A saffron note and geranium meet to compose the top note of this woody and leathery accord. Cedar and very green rose deeply combine, exuding an unprecedented fresh and warm fragrance. A sense of enchantment is then created by a leather note paired with the strength of gaiac wood.

Finally, the smooth and dry amber accord reveals a precious facet of this fragrance, which is strong, sensual and sacred in one. After amethyst for Ambre Éternel and black for Santal Royal, Oud Essentiel shines in a refined green bottle adorned with a luminous label reminiscent of the wooden lattices of the Middle East, set off with an elegant green and golden ribbon.

The mellow woody Guerlain Oud Essentiel is available at 125ml for S$288.
