01 | Enter the Arabian desert with Jo Malone London’s new fragrance

They say that scents carry memories with them, and if Jo Malone London’s new Gardenia & Oud fragrance had one, it’ll be this: radiant gardenias blooming in the Arabian desert, the sky a smoky, sultry amber, the air musky and sweet. 

The third fragrance in their Absolu collection combines quintessential English florals with deep, intense ingredients revered in the Arabian desert. They dissolve on contact with skin and linger long after its applied.

To make the scent truly your own, layer it with some of Jo Malone London’s other scents, like Peony & Blush Suede. The resulting scent is an opulent, sweet pairing that’s lifted by a flirtatious floral heart.

02 | Boucheron’s latest collection celebrates the grace of tiny woodland creatures

Spring has arrived, and even if we aren’t out to enjoy it, the animals certainly are. And those frolicking animals are the impetus behind Boucheron’s latest collection. The Animaux de Collection Novelties presents a parade of wonderful woodland creatures come to life from the Parisian jeweller’s expert craftsmen. 

And no animal represents the collection more than the chickadee. In nature, the graceful little bird — with its colourful plumage and bright, lovely song — can often be found flying with its mate, making it the perfect representation of brightness and loyalty. Here, it’s enshrined in diamond-paved necklaces, bangle bracelets and semi-open rings — the perfect embodiment of a bright, pleasant future.

03 | Enhance your Netflix-slash-podcast sessions with Montblanc’s new wireless headphones

Create your own little world with Montblanc’s first-ever wireless smart headphones. This gorgeous, sleek device comes with active noise-cancelling technology, fine leather wrapped around an ergonomic design, and a voice-activated Google Assistant that understands a wide range of commands.

It’s the perfect accompaniment for Netflix binges and quiet meditation alike — and it’s so unobtrusive and comfortable that you’ll hardly ever notice you have it on at all.

04 | Black Commes des Garçons SS20 arrives at Dover Street Market Singapore

Get your fashion fix with Black Commes des Garçons’ latest collection, now available at Dover Street Market Singapore’s e-shop. Expect to see both menswear and womenswear items like tailored coats, jackets and shirting in a predominantly monochrome palette. 

It’s all very anarchist-meet-fashion. Round it off with washed denims and graphic motifs, and you’ve got drip for days.

05 | Tod’s teams up with Mame Kurogouchi for a new womenswear capsule

When it comes to creating timeless, sartorial designs, the new collaboration between Tod’s and Japanese designer Mame Kurogouchi is nothing short of a match made in heaven. The new womenswear capsule — the third in Tod’s ongoing T Factory project — combines Italian tailoring with pared-back Japanese aesthetic; look no further than Kurogouchi’s take on Tod’s iconic D-Styling bag to see just how.

The collection brings with it a selection of dresses, outerwear, shoes and bags, all of which come in a condensed choice of colours (black, navy blue and tan), which augments its sense of modularity and timelessness.
