Scents

Women’s Fragrance – Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540

First created for Baccarat’s 250th anniversary, this luminous and intense fragrance is inspired by crystal’s fusion process. Airy jasmine facets and intensely radiant saffron carry the mineral notes of Ambroxan – evoking ambergris – and the woody, lightly spiced tones of red cedar while the bottle is reminiscent of Baccarat’s iconic scarlet-red crystal.

“Nothing makes me feel more dressed up than a few spritzes of Baccarat Rouge 540. The bright and bold scent lasts all day and is guaranteed to garner compliments. Need I say more?” – Justine Lee

Men’s Fragrance – Bulgari Pour Homme

Crafted by master perfumer Jacques Cavallier, this iconic scent is intended to embody serenity and represent the pursuit of harmony. The natural green-leaf freshness of Darjeeling tea combines with the comforting facets of musk accords in a comfortable and refreshing fragrance, which is reflected in an elegant and minimalist flacon.

Candle – Byredo Coin Laundry Candle

Capturing “the quiet poetry of domestic ritual”, this permanent addition to the luxurious Byredo home fragrance collection evokes the warm air of a laundromat, the softness of cotton and the familiar comfort of fresh linens against skin. Clean aldehydes rise first, softened by delicate florals and anchored in a musky foundation.
