Jo Malone London’s well-loved seasonal scents have returned in time for Christmas so you can gift these precious decorated colognes and home products to your loved ones. As usual, the brand has a slew of festive favourites available including special-edition colognes, candles and diffusers, travel gift sets, Christmas crackers and more. This year’s luxurious advent calendar is a celestial countdown filled with a gleaming selection of popular colognes in miniature, seasonal adornments and a few full-sized surprises.

The Jo Malone London store in Raffles City Singapore will be the first boutique in Singapore to offer a variety of personalisation options, such as engraving, allowing customers to make their purchases bespoke with colourful ribbons and alphabet charms—with each gift wrapped in the brand’s iconic cream and black box, making it the perfect present.

Leave it to Diptyque to launch a holiday collection that is dark, intense and enchanting all at the same time. The luxury fragrance brand’s Map Of Stars holiday collection takes inspiration from the stars and constellations and consists of thoughtful gift choices. For Christmas, there are three limited-edition scented candles that are decorated with stars in white, gold and silver; they come in intense colours and feature festive perfumes of different blends of wax.  

Besides candles, the end-of-year holiday collection also includes home fragrances such as a travel-sized room spray and a limited-edition Eau Rose eau de parfum housed in a beautiful bottle that boasts embossed roses with golden highlights. But it is the brand’s limited-edition advent calendar that has stolen the spotlight this year. In a deep black, the calendar is adorned with a phosphorescent Milky Way and offers different Diptyque treasures for each day.

Want to shower your special someone with a luxurious gift? Opt for the giant iconic Baies candle, housed in an exclusive new vessel that is covered with a twinkling multitude of stars and a black enamel finish speckled with real gold. How’s that for priceless?

This new-to-market beauty brand is pulling out all the stops for its hot debut with a captivating winter-themed holiday collection. The limited-edition makeup collection sees the maison revisiting three iconic products: Prisme Libre, Le Rouge Interdit Intense Silk and Le Rouge Sheer Velvet. These bestsellers are dressed up in stunning metallic padding—a futuristic and ultra-shiny fabric inspired by a winter jacket created by Givenchy creative director Matthew M. Williams. 

What’s special about Givenchy’s iconic loose powder in this collection is that it is now available in an ephemeral harmony, Lumière Polaire No.12, which includes four pastel tones infused with micro-glitter: fresh pink, shimmering lilac, frosty purple, and glowing orange. For this holiday collection, Le Rouge Interdit Intense Silk (Givenchy’s signature semi-matte lipstick that was re-launched in September 2022) comes in a single shade, Rouge Vigne No.338—a cold and deep red that is perfect for a chic winter makeup look. Rounding up the collection, Le Rouge Sheer Velvet No.27 is a matte lipstick that offers a natural powdery finish and a long-lasting blurring effect without compromising on hydration for the lips. 

Italian magic spreads in the air this Christmas as Acqua di Parma unveils 10 special gift sets that are each wonderfully packaged in boxes with marbled decorations that combine the traditional festive colours of green, red and gold with the brand’s trademark yellow. The wide variety of gifts includes everything from a selection of 10 different fragrances in a single set to classic shaving essentials for men. For a truly luxurious gift, you can’t go wrong with this year’s advent calendar—inspired by the brand’s iconic hat box, the advent calendar features 25 windows that each contain a different gift that offers an olfactory insight into the world of Acqua di Parma. Look forward to scented candles as well as signature fragrances.

To honour its 260-year-old craftsmanship legacy, the House of Creed has created three exclusive leather products as a continuation of the 2021 leather collection. This includes an original design by Olivier Creed to elevate the Leather Explorer Collection—which is hand-crafted using the finest Italian leather and created in the traditional French navy hue with a beige suede interior. Creed designed and developed a leather trunk (which fits two 100ml fragrances) and two leather candle holders for this collection. An exquisite brass Creed plaque on the inside of the trunks completes these objets d’art. The interior bottle fixture is removable, easily transforming a gift into a beautiful accessory that will instantly beautify any home.

The Creed candles are available in two versions (220g or 650g) in the delicate scents of Birmanie Oud and Vanisia. These are presented in exquisite glass vessels and are each dressed in an exclusive French navy leather holder.

Chloé Fragrances’ first-ever Chloé Atelier des Fleurs boutique in Singapore is a stunning visual experience reflective of Chloé’s storied history. The new store showcases limited-edition holiday sets, and exclusive collections while offering an elevated store experience. Emulating a garden setting complete with an elegant French flower cart filled with pretty floral arrangements, the boutique offers the collection’s 17 eponymous fragrances including two new scents, Violette and Santalum. Both are formulated with 100 per cent natural-origin raw materials, natural alcohol, and water. The scents are also vegan and free of artificial colourings and filters, in line with Chloé’s mission to reduce its environmental impact. For the holidays, complimentary services such as gift wrapping, fragrance miniatures and personalised gifts will also be available in November.

This Christmas, treat yourselves (and your favourite people) by stepping inside the most dazzling spectacle yet: Penhaligon’s World of Wonder. The storied British perfume house has upped the ante this year with four different gift sets as well as its charming Doors Of Wonder advent calendar that includes travel-sized skincare essentials, fragrances and miniature candles. There are also dedicated gift sets for both men and women this year: Leading Ladies and The Showmen both contain mini versions of the brand’s signature scents. No matter what you choose, a gift from Penhaligon’s will surely delight its recipient.
