No one does special edition fragrances quite like Jo Malone London, and their new sakura collection proves it.

Best described as the scent of Spring in a bottle, the fragrance has a delicate composition of cherry blossom and rose brightened with sparkling bergamot.

The collection includes a Sakura Cherry Blossom Cologne (100ml: $245, 30ml: $122) and a Sakura Cherry Blossom Hair Mist (30ml: $90). It is available online at jomalone.com.sg.

#2 Kenzo La Collection Memori

Kenzo's best known perfume might be Flower by Kenzo, the sweet scent in the iconic slender bottle with a red poppy, but the house has gone in a fresh new direction with their latest fragrance line La Collection Memori.

Each of the seven scents - Ciel Magnolia, Rêve Lotus, Coeur Azuki, Poudre Matcha, Soleil Thé, Nuit Tatami, Cèdre Secret - is housed in a minimalist sake flask-inspired bottle with a cap resembling the stones of Zen gardens.

The notes were inspired by the happy days of the House's founder, Kenzō's childhood; like poetic madeleines and moments spent in the Kenzo Parfums tea house.

In line with Kenzo Parfum's efforts towards sustainability, the bottle is made with 15% recycled glass, and the packaging also utilises an optimised outerpack made of FSC certified paper mimicking the look of a tatami mat.

The fragrances are priced from $160 each and are now exclusively available at Metro Paragon Spring Floral Fair at Metro Paragon Atrium.

#3 Marc Jacob Fragrances Perfect Eau De Toilette

A fresh and bright interpretation of the original floral scent, the EDT reimagines a white bouquet with an unexpected twist of pink peppercorn and polygonum notes for a luminous and clean scent.

The whimsical bottle has domed shoulders and a gilded collar leading up to a crystal-cut cap crowned with an eclectic assortment of mis-matched charms that play with different colours, transparency and texture.

P.S. there's a pop-up for this fragrance at Plaza Singapura till 3 May where visitors can get complimentary temporary tattoos and more.

#4 Anna Sui Sundae
