The Gift of Self-Love

If you’re gifting someone who radiates confidence or is on a journey to find it, look no further. Marc Jacobs Perfect Absolute is a powerful ode to self-affirmation. The luxurious notes of caramelized fig and rich amber are as bold and comforting as the message it carries: “you are perfect, as you are.”

The Essence of Inner Strength

For the woman who defines success on her own terms, Burberry Goddess Parfum is the ultimate indulgence. A fragrance of sophisticated sensuality, it amplifies the signature trio of vanillas with a suede accord. Housed in an elegant bronze bottle, it’s a premium gift that speaks volumes.

A Bottle of Pure Bliss

As embodied by the fearless Miley Cyrus, the Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Intense is an explosion of unfiltered happiness. It takes the beloved gardenia note and elevates it with a deep, woody sandalwood base. It’s perfect for the free-spirited optimist.

A Signature of Effortless Elegance

Chloé Le Parfum is an impeccable choice for anyone who values timelessness. Rooted in a heritage of feminine liberation, this scent intensifies Chloé’s cult-favorite rose with an addictive overdose of orange blossom.

For the Ones Who Chart Their Own Path

With BOSS Bottled Beyond, rules are meant to be challenged. As the first premium ginger-leather scent, it defies the classic fragrance pyramid. It’s innovative, powerful, and crafted with long-lasting intensity—fitting for those with a bold, contemporary soul.

The following scents are available at leading SM, Rustan’s, Landmark, and Robinsons Department Stores and online at Rustans.com, Lazada, and ZALORA.
