SWEET DEAL

- —James Louie

Lovebirds look here—the Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong has tied up with Italian perfumer Acqua di Parma and champagne house Veuve Clicquot to roll out a floral afternoon tea special in time for Valentine’s Day. Aside from serving up an assortment of scones and savory nibbles with a side of Veuve Clicquot Rosé, five desserts have been inspired by fragrances from Acqua di Parma’s Le Nobili Collection. The latest one, Peonia Nobile, is reinterpre­ted as raspberry and lychee with rose mascarpone cream. And just in case you need an extra gift for your significan­t other, there’s even a miniature bottle of Acqua di Parma perfume—in a cheery yellow hatbox—to take home ( shangri-la.com).
