5 Luxury Fragrances for Him, Her, and Them
Take a look at beauty's best pick of fragrances for every scent profile.
It's no secret that scent is inherently personal; what suits your profile may not work on someone else. It all comes down to your preference, if we're being honest. As such, many luxury perfumery houses have come up with genderneutral and duo fragrances for him and her to keep up with the everchanging demands of society's latest scent wearers.
From Cartier to Gucci, here are our top five picks of luxury perfumes and colognes to tide you over this season.
Gucci Beauty Flora Fantasy
Gucci Beauty's iconic Flora Fantasy collection has expanded; the house's new Flora Gorgeous Jasmine Eau de Parfum joins its scented universe with refreshing Grandiflorum Jasmine notes. Built to accompany the sweeter pink-encased Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau De Parfum, this optimistic and genderneutral scent will refresh wearers with imprints of Sandalwood, Benzoin, Mandarine Essence and Magnolia Accord, on top of its main composition of Jasmine.
The Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine Eau de Parfum retails at $245 for 100ml and is available on Gucci.com, department stores – BHG, Metro, Takashimaya, Tangs and selected Sephora stores.
Cartier Baiser Volé Parfum
Reignite passion with Cartier's latest musky lily-dominated scent. Designed by the house's perfumer Mathilde Laurent, this new fragrance doubles as a bold kiss in a bottle, taking all parts of the flower and transforming it into a carnal approach to your olfaction. If you're looking to make a sensual presence with your scent this season, a spritz of Baiser Volé is all it takes.
Cartier's Baiser Volé Parfum will be available from September 2022 onwards.
Penhaligon’s Sports Car Club
Penhaligon's latest fragrance satisfies the need for speed, where wearers can take a journey with scent with every spritz of a bottle, all thanks to the presence of patchouli. The fragrance opens with the rush of pink peppercorns and eucalyptus, followed by the aromatic blend of cypress, arolle wood, and lastly, its hero ingredient, patchouli.
Penhaligon’s Sports Car Club is available at all Penhaligon's stores islandwide.
Tom Ford WHITE SUEDE
Channel your inner Gong Yoo with Tom Ford's WHITE SUEDE cologne. Just like the South Korean Train to Busan and Squid Game actor, this fragrance is charming by essence. Housed in an iconic Private Blend bottle reminiscent of a modern chess piece, the luxury of WHITE SUEDE is captured by its musky hints of saffron, thyme, velvety rose, and amber to produce sensory reminders of leather and suede.
The cologne is available at TANGS at Tang Plaza,
Takashimaya Department Store, Sephora.sg and via the TOM FORD BEAUTY AT HOME ADVISOR at +65 6732 5002.
Issey Miyake Eaux d’Issey
The last big perfume collection by the late Issey Miyake before his passing last week. The designer's latest range complements power couples' matching fragrance profiles, with the stereotypical femme-centric scent of L’eau D’issey Eau&Magnolia using subtle notes of bergamot and neroli pairing nicely with the line's Pour Homme Eau&Cèdre – a heavier blend of grapefruit, cardamom, green cypress, cedarwood, and deeper patchouli.
Issey Miyake L’eau D’issey Eau&Magnolia retails at $140 for 50ml and $188 for 100ml, while the L’eau D’issey Pour Homme Eau&Cèdre retails at $109 for 50ml and $148 for 100ml. Both fragrances are now available at Metro Paragon and Causeway Point, Takashimaya, Tangs Orchard and Tangs VivoCity, BHG Bugis, and Sephora.
