322 of Project 365: The Perfume Library

These are some of the most recent additions to my perfume collection. 
It seems like my taste has changed judging from the brands and also a testament to the changing retail landscape in Singapore where we can now get brands like Penhaligon, Jo Malone, Diptyque, etc on our shore.

My recent favourite is Jo Malone's Blackcurrant & Bay which I can also combine with Vanilla & Anise. This concept of combining/layering perfume is something new to me until I found Jo Malone. I am all for unqiue, individual fragrance and with these two it's a 1 plus 1 equals 3 formula.

Les Exclusifs De Chanel

"What if we could capture time and hold it in a bottle, along with all of its treasures and promises? What if time - both past and future - was revealed from one bottle to another, until it was all held in a unique collection of fragrances? The time of CHANEL; time that comes back, if only to fly away again."

"Twelve identical bottles; twelve pure forms; luxurious simplicity: an expression of the genius of CHANEL. A collection of rare fragrances, composed in the past by Ernest Beaux - the exclusive perfume creator for Mademoiselle Chanel - and in the present by Jacques Polge - the "Master Perfumer" for the House. A way of reinvesting time and celebrating something that goes beyond fashion: the spirit of CHANEL."

Unboxing Beige from Les Exclusifs De Chanel.
Les Exclusifs De Chanel is only available at the Shoppes @ Marina Bay Sands.

This is by far the biggest bottle of perfume I owned at 200ml, but it's not the most expensive on a per ml basis. If you have read my earlier post, you would know when my love for perfume began.

It's always so pleasurable and enjoyable to shop at the flagship Chanel store at MBS because of the outstanding level of service. Shopping at the store is more than purely transactional, the Beauty Advisors would share the history & philosophy behind each product and this is where I had a taste of "going out of the way" service from the Beauty Advisors to provide the best shopping experience.

160 of Project 365: Perfume

I still remember that my dad bought me my first perfume when I was in Primary 6.
We were doing our weekend shopping at NTUC FairPrice and I was looking at a row of Enchanteur perfume, powder & lotion. Suddenly, my dad came up to me & asked me to picked one. Frankly, I'm quite surprised by my dad's gesture, which I gladly obliged. And I've been hooked since that first bottle of perfume.
Nowadays, I never leave home without a spritz of my favourite scent. I'll feel uneasy & weird if I'm not wearing any perfume. So I make sure that I have a small vial which I carry around for occasions when I forgot to wear my perfume before leaving the house. Of course, there were still a couple of times when I have to live through the day "scentless" and I must say the experience was really tortuous.
Some of my favourites include Lanvin, Chloe, Chanel & Sarah Jessica Parker.
