MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN Ngee Ann City, #B1-35

One of the few fragrance houses that is named after its perfumer, Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s olfactory creations are deeply rooted in design, quality and modernity. Its most iconic creation is the Baccarat Rouge 540, a collaboration between the Maison and French luxury crystal brand, that’s a poetic alchemy of wood, jasmine and saffron.

CREED Raffles City Shopping Centre, #01-39C

Established in 1760 as a fashion house for royalty, Creed also made fragrances to scent clothing, but it wasn’t until Olivier Creed, the sixth generation heir, that Creed perfumes were made available to the public. They use a technique known as millésime, a wine-making term meaning the ‘best of the crop’, to produce their fragrances.

CHLOÉ Raffles City Shopping Centre, #01-40A

This standalone fragrance boutique houses the exclusive Chloé Atelier des Fleur collection, a range that lets you create a custom fragrance the way you would put together a bouquet at a florist. Each perfume has a distinct olfactory note, allowing you to layer, mix and match them in endless combinations.
