The bright and warmer weather calls for light and fresh scents that we can wear all day long. We’ve often said how much we value self-love and what better way to honor those words than with a spring fragrance that lifts our mood and spirit. We gathered the best new springtime fragrances of 2021 for the freshness that the spring season inspires!
GUCCI GUILTY EAU DE TOILETTE POUR FEMME

There are so many scents to choose from but we think the new Gucci Guilty Eau de Toilette pour Femme deserves to be on the top of our list. Aside from the stylish bottle design and packaging, we love that the creative reference behind this fragrance is inspired by women who seek freedom in self-expression and love. One will find the distinctive amber floral accord in the Gucci Guilty Eau de Toilette pour Femme.

Gucci Guilty Pour Femme EDT 30ml is priced at HKD $620 while the 50ml is priced at HKD $770 and the 90ml is priced at HKD $1,040.

You’ll also find traces of ylang-ylang, jasmine, sandalwood, and sweet herbal notes of patchouli and ambery, balsamic myrrh. It is packaged in a 50ml glass bottle, encased in an elegant box featuring an image from Perriand’s photographic archives. It is priced at HKD $1,300.
