Aesop’s Rōzu Eau de Parfum
(Featured image above)
Do you want to go into vacation mode despite the tons of things you need to do at work or at home? We’ve discovered the perfect scent for both worlds. Aesop’s Rōzu Eau de Parfum opens with rich floral notes of rose, alongside petitgrain, bergamot, and the vibrant shiso–a reference to Charlotte Perriand’s lifelong affection for Japan–and pink pepper for a touch of spiciness. You’ll feel the sense of adventure and modernity that combines all the beautiful and warm notes of this concoction. Rōzu Eau de Parfum is packaged in a 50ml glass bottle and encased in an elegant box featuring an image from Perriand’s photographic archives. It is available at all Aesop signature stores and counters, and at Aesop Online for HKD $1,300.

PENHALIGON’S THE FAVOURITE
There’s nothing more distinct or as uniquely crafted as a Penhaligon’s scent. We’ve fallen in love with the poetic beauty of The Favourite. A fragrance that hides a story so inspiring you’ll be mesmerized but the depth of its structure. The story revolves around a flower. Mimosa with its warm and powdery character yields its own soft power; freesia, violet, and mandarin that develops fast and bright confidence on the skin; and jasmine rises and sinks upon a sandalwood stage completing the majestic components of this special scent. It’s a precious gift for a special occasion and to be honest a present we’d like to give ourselves too!
