Top 5 Maison Louis Marie Scents, Ranked by Loyal Crush Customers
You know a fragrance brand is iconic when customers don't just like it — they fall obsessively in love with it. And few brands have that effect quite like Maison Louis Marie. As one of the most sought-after clean perfume brands in Australia, it's no surprise that Loyal Crush shoppers have developed strong favourites. We dug through our reviews, purchase history, and scent-loving community feedback to bring you the top 5 Maison Louis Marie scents, ranked by real customers. If there's a Maison scent that defines the brand, it's this one. No.04 Bois de Balincourt is often dubbed the 'clean dupe' for Le Labo's Santal 33 — but many customers say they prefer it. Top: Sandalwood, cedarwood Middle: Vetiver, nutmeg, cinnamon Base: Amber wood 'People stop me in the street to ask what I'm wearing.' 'It's warm, inviting, and never overpowering.' 'Perfect balance between earthy and elegant.' This fragrance is creamy, grounding, and wears like a second skin. It's also endlessly layerable — try pairing it with Antidris Cassis for a sandalwood-meets-fruit combo. Fresh, green, and softly woody, No.09 is the kind of fragrance that feels clean without being 'soapy.' It's ideal for warm weather or everyday wear. Top: Grapefruit, orange, black pepper Middle: Cedarwood, patchouli, geranium Base: Amber, musk, benzoin 'Smells like a rainforest spa.' 'Subtle, fresh, and modern.' 'My everyday go-to — never gets old.' Vallée de Farney is especially loved by people who want a light but sophisticated signature scent. It's gender-neutral and makes a fantastic gift. This is the standout fruity-floral of the range, combining juicy berries with soft musk and rose. Top: Cassis, bergamot, black pepper Middle: White rose Base: Musk, tonka, oakmoss 'Bright and juicy — like summer in a bottle.' 'Smells expensive and feminine.' 'Lasts longer than I expected from a clean scent.' Pair it with No.04 Bois de Balincourt to create a rich contrast of wood and fruit. No.02 is deep, woody, and herbaceous — great for meditation, colder months, or anyone who loves more 'grounded' scents. Top: Hinoki wood Middle: Cedarwood Base: Patchouli 'Reminds me of forest walks in the Blue Mountains.' 'Unique and non-perfumey in the best way.' 'Perfect scent for quiet confidence.' No.02 is an underrated gem — especially for minimalists or those who don't usually like perfume. It wears close to the skin and feels deeply calming. Citrusy, soft, and a little powdery, No.12 Bousval is perfect for spring. It's light, uplifting, and a refreshing break from overly musky or floral perfumes. Top: Bergamot, lemon Middle: Green leaves, peony Base: White musk, cedar 'Bright, elegant, and effortless.' 'Reminds me of holidays in the south of France.' 'A perfect morning scent.' How to Choose Your Signature Still can't decide? Here's a quick cheat sheet: Mood Try This Warm & Woody No.04 Bois de Balincourt Green & Fresh No.09 Vallée de Farney Fruity & Feminine Antidris Cassis Deep & Grounding No.02 Le Long Fond Bright & Citrus No.12 Bousval Still unsure? Build your scent wardrobe by starting with two: one for day, one for night. Maison Louis Marie oils are made for layering.

Moët & Chandon x Pharrell Williams Collab On The Ultimate Birthday Gift
We're getting all bubbly! When it comes to celebration, Moët & Chandon has always been more than a champagne. It is a symbol, a ritual, a spark that elevates any moment worth toasting. Following its global debut in March, the iconic French champagne Maison is delighted to unveil its latest collaboration in Malaysia: the Moet & Chandon and Pharrell Williams Limited Edition Collection, putting birthday celebrations centre stage. Driven by shared values of optimism, generosity, and human connection, Moët & Chandon and multi-talented creative Pharrell Williams have come together to reimagine these special moments through the eyes of those who celebrate you. The Maison and Pharrell's shared vision of collective joy is at the heart of the collaboration, aimed to create moments that are both universal and deeply personal, where every detail is crafted to honour those who gather to celebrate. Each day, 22 million people around the world mark their birthdays, a ritual filled with the joy and gratitude of those who make the occasion unforgettable. Whether or not you enjoy celebrating your own birthday, we all enjoy celebrating the people we love. It's not about the gift, but who is giving it. Not the party, but who shows up. And, it's not about the bottle, but whom you share it with. 'The best part about a birthday are the people who want to celebrate it with you,' says Pharrell. 'When I was old enough to toast with champagne for the first time, Moët & Chandon was my point of reference. I suppose it's just a tradition, it's the ritual.' Moët & Chandon Reimagines Celebration At TREC KL Moët & Chandon brought the campaign creative expression, 'Let Us Celebrate You' vividly to life through a spectacular, one-night only unveiling party at ZEST Club, located in the heart of TREC KL, capturing the essence of meaning connections and joyous moments. Guests entered a space bathed in rich midnight-blue hues honouring this Moët & Chandon limited edition collection. Against the stunning backdrop of Kuala Lumpur's skyline stood an impressive champagne tower, artfully stacked with Moët & Chandon bottles and glasses – symbolising countless Malaysian cherished toasts and joyful moments. At the centre of it all stood the Moët & Chandon x Pharrell Williams Brut Impérial Bow Creation, a captivating 1.5L magnum adorned with an oversized, intricately crafted bow. A sumptuous banquet, styled with lush drapery and vibrant blooms sets the stage for an evening of sensory surprises. Guided by charismatic performers, guests embarked on a playful culinary journey: each dish cleverly disguised with unexpected flavours and local twists, from a deconstructed laksa disguised as a sunny-side-up egg to bite-sized takes on Malaysian street favourites, offering a fresh reason to toast at every turn. 'At Moët & Chandon, we believe celebration shines brightest when shared with the people who show up. Through this collection with Pharrell Williams, we invite Malaysians to celebrate meaningful connections, whether it's a birthday, an impromptu get-together, or simply the joy of being together, and let Moët & Chandon be the champagne that honours every one of those moments.' says Laura Drozdowski Lot, Marketing Director of Moët Hennessy Southeast Asia. The Design Behind The Moët & Chandon x Pharrell Williams Collaboration To create a distinctive and unique design for everyone's birthday, Moët & Chandon and Pharrell Williams delved into the archives of the House and found that, what today is the iconic tie on the bottle, was a bow in 1889. The bow symbolising togetherness, generosity, joy and surprise is one of the key elements of this Limited Edition Collection. The Limited Edition: Brut Impérial (Gold, Blue, and Red) The box and bottleneck of Moët & Chandon's most emblematic champagne, Brut Impérial, are dressed in Gold, Midnight Blue and Deep Red. Pharrell signs his creations with white dotted lettering similar to pearls on the box and directly on the bottle. He also transforms the bottle's red royal seal into a pearled monogram of his initials, PW, interconnected and round. The Moët & Chandon x Pharrell Limited Edition Collection is available in Malaysia, at selected participating retail stores and high-energy outlets.
