New Scent-sation!

Forget everything you’ve ever been taught about perfumes; Japanese fragrance maison Sholayered is here. Launched in Tokyo in 2013, Sholayered is all about breaking the rules of perfume-making, ditching the overpowering base note and employing no less than a thousand middle and top notes. The result? A series of perfectly balanced and minimalist scents for hair and body. Whether it’s a hand wash or a hair perfume, choose from six fragrances: lemon peel, orange blossom, fresh pear, olive vodka, sugar lychee and “mysterious mix” – the last one promises to be a potion of surprises! – and feel yourself transported to a Zen garden. Available at Takashimaya or sholayered.sg.
