Bud Cosmetics
Proclaiming to be ‘Truly Organic, Terribly French’, Honoré des Prés, a cult French organic perfume range, took the world of scents by storm and bagged the Wallpaper Magazine’s Best Design 2010 Award. Crafted by renowned perfumer Olivia Giacobetti, who has worked with Guerlain, Hermès, L’Artisan Parfumeur and Dyptique, Honoré des Prés is a luxurious line of fragrances of 100% natural origin that has been certified organic by ECOCERT. Lovers of The Big Apple will be delighted with the sensual, trendy and urbane ‘We Love NY’ (SGD190) collection while the fresh, chic and vintage-inspired Les Verrines d’Honoré (SGD130) collection is an ode to the good old days of our grandmothers.
Honoré des Prés perfumes are available at Bud Cosmetics, #03-32, Mandarin Gallery
Elephant & Coral
Having been awarded the prestigious iF Design Award 2012, the Pentagon Collection from Elephant & Coral is an instant modern classic. Made of polished precious resin and featuring a luxurious 18K gold nib, it has been a labour of love that is 18 months in the making, but the result is certainly worth the effort. Inspired by the Asian interpretation of how the world is conceived, each side of the design’s five-faceted pentagon shape represents one of the following elements: metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Aesthetically simple but strong, the Pentagon is designed to facilitate how it is held, used and stored.
The limited edition Pentagon Collection consists of 200 pieces of fountain pens (SGD1280) and 100 pieces of rollerball pens (SGD1080). Elephant & Coral is located at #03-03, Mandarin Gallery
Marc by Marc Jacobs
You can always count on Mr Jacobs for a bit of fun. This season, the Marc by Marc Jacobs Dreamy Logo collection features the playful font that has been a hallmark of the label’s clothes and accessories. The new Bubble collection is chunky and very trendy with a unique two-piece mirror dial and indexes of cutout dreamy logo lettering. The standout pieces of the collection are undoubtedly the chic aluminum handbag charms (available in shiny silver or black) that can double as a witty pocket watch.
The Marc by Marc Jacobs Dreamy Logo watch collection retails at #01-11, Mandarin Gallery from SGD320 to SGD450
