#legend100 inductee Jason Wu shares his holiday season gift picks, while David Ho comes up with some further recommendations
“Recently I have my favourite perfume from Kilian. I really love their Imperial Tea perfume. It’s a unique and special scent that blends Laminaria seaweed, green tea, and jasmine beautifully. Once you try it, you won’t forget it. The packaging is elegant, and the brand stands out. I like giving perfume as a gift because it can remind you of the person who gave it whenever you smell it, a lovely way to keep memories alive.
This perfume is fresh and clean, inspired by the calming experience of drinking jasmine tea, with hints of sea breeze and delicate flowers. It feels light but lasting, perfect for those who want something different and memorable.” – Jason Wu @jason_wuch

Picks by #legend you may enjoy:
Panpuri’s Quiet Illumination
Panpuri’s latest holiday collection is called Quiet Illumination. The collection celebrates new beginnings through three fragrances — Silent Flame, Golden Ember, and Luminous Dawn, each capturing the serene transition from darkness to light. In collaboration with Japanese artist Saitō Kazu, the collection reflects the refined artistry of Nihonga, a Japanese style of painting. We are in love with the Silent Flame extract, a woody scent that is perfect for the cooler months. But it’s not a heavy musk, so it’s a versatile fragrance.

Ferragamo’s Sublime Leather
We are adore this strong and masculine scent. With distinct top notes of cinnamon, it’s perfect for the holiday season. With dry down notes of leather accord, it’s clear where Sublime Leather gets its name. The heart notes of davana gives it a surprisingly sweet twist to balance out the richness.

Estheclinic gift card
On the subject of beauty, gift cards for treatments are always appreciated. After all, who doesn’t appreciate a bit of pampering? We tried out Estheclinic’s Ultimate Lift Hifu treatment, which uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production. It works well on not just the face, but also the neck and jawline, which hold tell tale signs of ageing. Estheclinic’s expert aestheticians were able to deliver it with minimal discomfort and maximum effect for a noticeable plumping and hydrating effect that lasted for days.
