Signature scent-worthy

CULTURE VULTURE - Therese Jamora-Garceau - The Philippine Star

If you’ve been looking for a signature scent, Luxasia’s most recent releases fit the bill nicely, with aromas suitable for different demographics, ages and occasions.

Feminine, elegant, floral

Kate Spade New York’s Bloom eau de toilette is a soft floral that would be perfect for work or ladies who lunch.  Top notes of Granny Smith apple, Lemon Primofiore (“first bloom” in Italian) and sweet orange essences give it its fresh, radiant profile, while white camellia, orange flower and ylang-ylang compose the elegant bouquet at its heart.  Bloom dries down to notes of Cashmeran, sandalwood and cedarwood that envelop you in a warm, woody veil.  This everyday daytime scent is so popular that it’s out of stock on the Kate Spade website, but you can get it here at Rustan’s. 

Young, fun, fruity

It’s easy to fall for MCM’s Crush eau de parfum, a sweet fruity-floral that smells irresistibly pink.  Crush begins with the unlikely coupling of frozen pear and hot pink pepper.  This initial infatuation deepens into lasting love with the embrace of fresh apricot nectar, hand-picked Rose de Mai, and sensuous ambrette.  To top it all off, Crush’s undeniable chemistry, which features biodegradable ingredients, is contained in the award-winning Philippe Starck backpack bottle in pink covered with MCM’s distinctive logo.

Fresh, Woody, Manly

Montblanc Legend Blue eau de parfum is so fresh and manly that it would work as well at the gym as it would in the boardroom or on date night.  The fragrance opens with a powerful, fresh and aromatic accord of spearmint and lavender.  It then reveals a distinctly woody, masculine heart of cedarwood and sandalwood.  Finally, ambroxan blends with notes of moss to make Legend Blue project leave an intense, sexy trail.

Sensual, Cozy, Chill

Salvatore Ferragamo’s heritage in crafting the finest Italian leather is embodied in Ferragamo Red Leather eau de parfum, a sensual citrus-aromatic leather inspired by the passionate and powerful color.  Top notes of Italian bergamot, mandarin pulp and fresh ginger give it a zingy opening; Egyptian jasmine absolute, powdery orris and herbal rosemary combine for a unique heart that reminds me of the holidays, while the base of Haitian vetiver, soft leather and New Caledonian sandalwood make this a cozy Netflix-and-chill scent.
