To celebrate International Fragrance Day (21 March), KrisShop rounds up its top fragrance picks that will help unlock the best in you in every setting imaginable.
Atypical fragrances to score you a second date:
Fragrances for a first date might typically be something sexy, mysterious, and inviting. But we’re here to advocate for scent-sitivities, because an emotional connection is arguably sexier than appearances.
Ange Gardien Paris EDT Clovis, SGD131
Named after King Clovis, the founder of France who was a formidable leader, Clovis is a gentlemanly scent. With calm lavender notes and bright citrus framed by an earthy flora – isn’t that an image of a modern 21st century, charismatic man?
Diptyque Paris Eau Rose EDT, SGD196
Nothing says romance quite like roses, and that’s exactly what Eau Rose manages to encapsulate. Delicately fresh with a light touch of spiciness, these fragrance notes are what you need to reel in a second date.
Fragrances your work besties will appreciate
“You smell good”, arguably one of the best compliments anyone can receive. And when you’re spending 8 hours in the office with your colleagues, the vibes need to be on point.
Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc EDP, SGD194.44
For Her Pure Musc balances musk with the warmth of cashmeran, and elevates it with white floral bouquet notes for a classic, clean scent that leaves your work besties smelling for more.
Burberry Hero Men EDT, SGD124
Hero is another classic scent that will keep you smelling good all day. Woody, spicy, with a light citrus touch, it’s crisp and versatile for any day and time.
Mood boosting scents to keep you going at the office
With working from the office increasingly normalised, a midday perk-me-up scent may be what we need to inspire us and get through the day. So why not bring the spa to yourself to bring inner calm and inspiration?
