Aesop: Hwyl eau de parfum– A Woody, Meditative Experience

Aesop, the Australian label famed for its fragrant herbal skincare and body care products, also has a line of fragrances– one of which is Hwyl, the brand’s impression of a Hinoki forest. Thick, herbal, earthy and almost camphoraceous, the scent develops into a comforting walk through tranquil nature: perfect for relaxation, or adding a touch of mindfulness to your everyday.

Beginning with a top note of sharp cypress, this scent first jolts you awake, then eases into a comforting, earthy blend of wood and vetiver middle notes. Frankincense lingers over the woods, bringing one into a meditative state among ancient trees. As the scent fades, the woods begin to clear, leaving a base of damp, smoky earth. Be warned, however, that the woodsy note in this fragrance is extremely photorealistic. In the words of one forum user, it “smells like a sleeping bag”– of falling asleep in the forest while the rain pours down. Use only if you have pleasant memories of camping.

Hwyl eau de parfum is available in all Aesop retail stores across Singapore, so pop in and be transported away.

Byredo: Velvet Haze eau de parfum– Nostalgic Scents Made Modern

Byredo’s Velvet Haze is a conjured “faded memory of the 1960s”, inspired by the cultural movements of freedom of the decade, and made to evoke altered states and artificial paradises. Despite the vintage theme and patchouli-forward composition, this scent is neither stuffy nor outdated. Byredo as a fragrance house has a particular talent for concocting airy modern dreams of perfumes, such as our personal favourite, the light-as-a cloud Blanche, and Velvet Haze is no exception.

The scent opens with ambrette and milky coconut water, then hibiscus, evoking a vibrant summer evening. As it develops, its middle notes of warm patchouli come to the forefront, injecting the atmosphere with life. Finally, the scent settles and sweetens with creamy cocoa absolute and powdery, skin-warmed musk. All at once spicy and sweet, gourmand and abstract, Velvet Haze is a trip through sensory possibilities.

Velvet Haze eau de parfum can be sampled and purchased at the Byredo flagship boutique in Ngee Ann City, 391a Orchard Road, #B1-34.

Le Labo: Santal 33 eau de parfum– The Smell of Freedom

You know this one. And before you skip this one because of its popularity– things get popular because they are good.

Santal 33, probably Le Labo’s most popular scent, is ubiquitous because of how versatile it is. Into this scent, perfumer Frank Voekl has distilled the essence of personal courage, freedom and a rough-around-the edges individuality: Le Labo describes the experience as “sitting in solitude on the rugged, wide plains of the American West”. More abstract than photorealistic, this fragrance can take on any meaning.

The noses on perfume forum Fragrantica have wildly different interpretations of this scent, from cowboy boots to dill pickle, but it is ultimately a scent that cannot be pinned down. All that can be described of it is smooth and earthy. With notes of sandalwood, vetiver and cedar, it starts green and complex, then dries down to floral sweetness. A bottle of this scent (which can be personalised) is your journey to make, so why not take the first step?

Santal 33 eau de parfum can be purchased at the Le Labo boutiques in Ngee Ann City, 391 Orchard Road, #B1-31, or at the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian: Gentle fluidity Silver Edition eau de parfum– Fresh, Fizzy Summer Fragrance

Composed to complement its twin fragrance Gentle fluidity: Gold Edition eau de parfum, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, the perfume house behind the dense, luxurious Baccarat Rouge 540, now turns again to challenge the barriers between masculine and feminine. The Silver Edition of the Gentle fluidity perfume is vibrant yet intimate, like the glow of the precious metal it was named for, and achieves the difficult feat of being a clean scent that still exudes character.

Opening with a splash of juniper berry and bergamot, balanced by dry, aromatic nutmeg, this scent is first fizzy like a gin and tonic on a warm afternoon. As the hours pass, the bubbles in Silver Edition settle and bring forward soapy, musky-clean notes, with the sweetness of ambroxan. Fresh and uplifting, this is an ideal fragrance for the hotter months, and suited to almost every occasion.

This scent can be found at Maison Francis Kurkdjian boutiques in Singapore.
