Mt Sapola & Flaming Queen – Smelling Good, Feeling Well
Countless studies have shown that smelling good is more than just good manners. A good scent, like the aroma of good coffee in the morning, is not only a relaxing treat but also triggers positive emotions and lifts your spirits. There is like nothing like a whiff of lovely fragrance to put one in a good mood so it makes sense to surround yourself with beautiful smells.
Recognising the health benefits of olfactory stimulation and a tranquil setting, Mt Sapola has created a peaceful sanctuary with its latest retail outlet at Mandarin Gallery. Customers are greeted with the sweet perfume of essential oils and serene music as they step into the shop. The brand’s comprehensive line of home-spa products, which are made of only the finest natural ingredients, also exudes the divine scents of botanical goodness.
Among its expansive product range (providing care from head to toe), the Ginger-Lemongrass Body Spa series stands out as star products with fans all over the world. With powerful detoxification properties, ginger and lemongrass aid in cleansing the body of accumulated toxins. Urbanites may find the range’s massage oil particularly effective for soothing aching muscles caused by environmental stress. Infused with a refreshing herbal scent, these products serve to enhance both physical and psychological wellbeing.
Started in 2007 to fill a gap in the local market, home fragrance specialty boutique Flaming Queen is another firm believer in the merits of wonderful smells. Inspired by the fact that everyone loves walking into a room that smells great, celebrity photographer Russel Wong and his wife, Judy, bring in hard-to-find scented home products from Europe, the USA and beyond. In addition to an impressive collection of international brands, Flaming Queen has also launched an in-house line of scented candies, which are made with premium French perfume oils and waxes.
With their long-lasting fragrance that endures up to 8 months, room diffusers are an increasingly popular option with customers. Diffusers from German label Linari are bestsellers due to its luxurious, high quality botanical oils and its elegantly designed bottles that double as home décor pieces. The brand’s new Velvet series of diffusers features gorgeous velvet casings and stylish aluminum caps.
Retailing from a very affordable price of SGD89, luxury designer brand Dayna Decker’s Essence Diffuser range is another hot favourite. Using hand-blown glass bottles and natural reed sticks, these diffusers come in full and petite sizes. For more information, download the Dayna Decker app.
Indulge your nose and feel better from the inside out.
