The star of the show is the La Collection Privee Summer fragrances, dressed in limited-edition couture cases with the brand's Toile de Jouy motif.
This season spotlights three particular scents: Gris Dior with its floral and woody notes; sun-drenched Jasmin des Anges that is a syrupy twist on a citrus; and floral-fruity Dioriviera, designed to transport you to the south of France.

If you like your stud earrings microscopic for dainty layering on an ear stack, home-grown J&Co Jewellery has you covered.
Its latest Ocean Collection beckons you to the sea with marine-inspired pieces that will appeal to your inner mermaid.
Priced from $119 to $249, the collection includes J&Co's signature flatback earring designs in 14K solid gold. Flatback earrings use a flat backing instead of the traditional butterfly back, and are said to exert less pressure on the skin and hence ideal for cartilage piercings.

Choose from a turtle with the tiniest rough diamond for a shell; seahorses in white or yellow gold curled around a diamond; a malachite bezel earring with deep green swirls evoking the ocean; and pearl designs that nod to the ocean-inspired narrative.

British fragrance house Penhaligon's is marking its 155th anniversary with a travelling exhibition. First unveiled in London in May 2025 , Eau So British has been to cities around the world and arrives in Singapore from Aug 2 to 3 to tell the story of the brand that started in 1870.
Trace its evolution from a barber shop to one of Britain's most storied perfume houses at the exhibition at ArtBlue Studio in Yong Siak Street.
At the Ingredient Bar, discover the raw materials that bring each scent to life, before venturing into a gallery of scents spotlighting prints of the brand's most beloved bottles.
Penhaligon's has also flown in five original pieces from its archives for a rare glimpse into its beginnings – including a silver candle container and a dainty fragrance bottle with a pink atomiser, said to be characteristic of early 20th-century British craftsmanship.

The first 200 visitors to the exhibition will receive a complimentary Portraits Discovery Set with six 2ml fragrances, while subsequent guests will receive three 1.5ml fragrance vials. With any purchase of a full-sized fragrance, get a Penhaligon's 155 Commemorative Twilly.
