For all the fragrance lovers out there~
1. Penhaligon’s Bold Blend Eau de Parfum
Ditch the script and embrace the unexpected with Penhaligon’s latest olfactory tale, Bold Blend. Crafted by perfumer Paul Guerlain, this addition to the Potions & Remedies line acts as a liquid antidote to overthinking.
The scent kicks off with a sharp, adrenaline-fueled duo of peppermint and black pepper, eventually mellowing into a cerebral heart of clary sage and violet leaf. A grounding base of palo santo and mixed woods ensures the fragrance remains sophisticated yet spirited.
It is a vibrant, aromatic nudge toward spontaneity, designed to spark inner strength and lighthearted adventure.
Available at Penhaligon’s boutiques in two sizes, S$270/50ml and S$410/100ml.
2. La Collection Privée Christian Dior Cuir Saddle
The legendary Dior “Saddle” bag transcends the world of leather goods to become a scent of skin-like sensuality in Francis Kurkdjian’s latest masterpiece, Cuir Saddle.
Moving away from the heavy, animalic burdens of traditional leather perfumery, the Perfume Creation Director has crafted a “trompe-l’oeil” olfactory experience. It balances classic smoky, woody depths with an unexpected overdose of luminosity. This contemporary-leather composition features a velvety suede touch that feels modern and approachable, melting into the wearer like a refined second skin. By infusing charred accords with noble musk and soft floral notes, the fragrance achieves a rare elegance that is both sophisticated and lighthearted.
Available at Dior’s premier Singapore boutiques and online, the collection includes various sizes and couture accessories, with the 50ml bottle retailing for S$310, offering a new, radiant chapter for the La Collection Privée library.
3. BYREDO’s Black Saffron Absolu de Parfum
Building on the cultural legacy of its predecessor, Byredo’s Black Saffron Absolu de Parfum offers a deeper, more opulent immersion into the world’s most precious spice.
Perfumer Jérôme Epinette has reimagined the original signature by amping up the concentration, creating a textured “haze of mystical warmth” that feels both ancient and avant-garde. The journey begins with a sharp, vibrant spark of pink pepper and blackcurrant, which eventually yields to a lush, floral heart where saffron, rose, and violet bloom.
As the fragrance settles, it reveals its true power: a dense, addictive base of dark leather, incense, and agarwood that ensures remarkable longevity on the skin. This is more than just a scent; it is a rich, sensory exploration of identity and heritage.
Available now at Byredo boutiques, the 50ml bottle is priced at S$380, while the 100ml edition retails for S$525.
4. Amouage Adds New Fragrances to the Acclaimed Essences Collection
High Perfumery House Amouage continues its profound exploration of temporal beauty with a new trilogy within the Essences Collection. Curated by Chief Creative Officer Renaud Salmon, this latest chapter—comprising Line 618, Remain, and Sequence—translates the abstract nature of time into tangible geometric symbols: the line, the dot, and the circle.
Line 618, inspired by the Golden Ratio, is a masterclass in balance by Nathalie Lorson, blending black pepper and pineapple with a sophisticated sandalwood and leather base to evoke a sense of infinite progression. Remain, crafted by Pierre Negrin, represents the “dot” or the singular present moment. It utilises vibrant pimento berry and mandarin to spark immediate presence, deepening into a sensual mix of frankincense and ambergris. Finally, Julien Rasquinet’s Sequence mirrors the eternal circle of renewal, weaving a rich tapestry of lychee, saffron, and oud that flows seamlessly between light and shadow.
What sets these fragrances apart is a meticulous double-infusion process: the concentrates are aged for six months with Australian sandalwood chips, while the alcohol matures in French oak barrels. This patience yields an unparalleled depth of character.
The new Essences Collection (S$675/100ml) is now available at escentials boutiques (Paragon, TANGS at Tang Plaza, ION Orchard), the Amouage pop-up at Raffles City, and online at escentials.com.

5. Daisy Marc Jacobs Murakami
Step into the world of Daisy Murakami, where two iconic universes collide for the very first time. Daisy’s signature charm meets Murakami’s supernatural spirit in a vibrant, color-saturated collection bursting with energy.
The classic Daisy bottle is reimagined in four vivid colorways — yellow, pink, green, and blue — each echoing a bright, joyful palette inspired by the Daisy Garden. For the first time, the collection introduces more concentrated Eau de Parfum formulations, delivering a deeper, more impactful sensorial experience.
Daisy Murakami Yellow is inspired by Daisy EDT, opening with strawberry, unfolding into raspberry, and settling into a cedarwood base. Daisy Murakami Pink, inspired by Daisy Love, blends coconut and white peony with a praline warmth. Daisy Murakami Green draws from Daisy Wild, where a surprising banana note meets jasmine and vanilla. Daisy Murakami Blue, inspired by Daisy Eau So Fresh, unfolds with notes of pear, rose, and soft musk for a light, airy finish.
The fragrances are created by Firmenich for Yellow, Pink, and Blue, and Givaudan for Green, with Alberto Morillas behind Yellow, Pink, and Blue, and Sonia Constant alongside Adriana Medina for Green.
Murakami’s signature floral motifs are seamlessly woven into the iconic Daisy cap, while the cartons burst with explosive, playful colors drawn from his unmistakable visual universe.
All four Daisy Marc Jacobs Murakami Limited Edition EDP (S$180/50ml ) fragrances is available at Sephora and leading department stores islandwide.

Reflecting its deeper intensity, the fragrance is encased in a sculptural bottle dipped in a fiery crimson hue.
