11 Perfumes & Body Mists For Your October Wishlist Ft. Dior, KAYALI & More
A perfume that smells like birthday cake? A cherry scent for dinner dates? October’s fragrance radar has plenty to tempt us. Whether you love sweet gourmands or prefer something fresh and floral, here are 11 to sniff out.
1. Dior: La Collection Privée Jasmin des Anges Esprit de Parfum
Scent type: Rich fruity floral
Jasmine lovers, this is the splurge. The highly concentrated extrait brings out the flower’s heady sweetness, with fruity, almost syrupy facets. It’s one to try for special dinners if white florals are already your thing. Keep an eye on the name: this is a different concentration from the original Jasmin des Anges Eau de Parfum.
Available at: La Collection Privée ION Orchard, Dior Beauty Marina Bay Sands and Raffles City boutiques, and Dior’s Singapore website.
Price: $705 for 80ml.

2. BVLGARI: Omnia Amethyste Eau de Parfum
Scent type: Powdery floral woody
If sugary perfumes aren’t your thing, try this iris-led floral. Rose, musky ambrette and warm vanilla round out a richer interpretation of the original EDT. It’s worth sampling if you like a soft, polished scent to go with your everyday office wardrobe, with a deeper violet bottle for your vanity.
Available at: Takashimaya Department Store and Metro Paragon.
Price: $212 for 50ml; $302 for 100ml.

3. Givenchy: L’Interdit Elixir Eau de Parfum
Scent type: Fruity floral with boozy gourmand notes
Black cherry and bitter almond meet jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose, followed by a warm rum, davana and vanilla accord. This is the moodier pick for the girl who likes her evening fragrance with a little drama. The ruby-inspired bottle fits right in with a red lip and dinner reservation.
Available at: Sephora Singapore.
Sizes: 35ml, 50ml and 80ml.

4. Armani Beauty: Emporio Armani Power of You Eau de Parfum
Scent type: Fruity floral gourmand
Passionfruit, creamy frangipani and vanilla give Power of You its tropical sweetness. For someone who enjoys fruity perfumes but wants a warmer finish for after-work plans, this is worth a counter stop. The contrast between juicy fruit and creamy vanilla is the main attraction.
Available at: Sephora Singapore and iShopChangi.
Price: $126 for 50ml on iShopChangi. Prices vary by retailer.

5. Aesop: Unforeseen Aer Eau de Parfum
Scent type: Fresh aromatic with warm spice
Prefer herbal freshness to vanilla sweetness? Unforeseen Aer combines geranium, lavandin and rosemary in a “Pure Air” accord, with nutmeg adding warmth. It’s an interesting option for everyday wear in Singapore if you gravitate towards green, aromatic scents. The embossed amber bottle and textured cap will appeal to the minimalist girls, too.
Available at: Aesop Singapore stores and its official website.
Price: $285 for 50ml; $410 for 100ml.

6. Rabanne: Million Red For Her Parfum
Scent type: Tropical floral gourmand
Coconut, ylang-ylang and vanilla give Million Red a sun-warmed sweetness. This is one for the girl who loves creamy tropical scents and a statement bottle, with the familiar diamond shape dressed in red. Put it on your sampling list if coconut perfumes usually catch your attention.
Available at: Sephora Singapore, TANGS at Tang Plaza and VivoCity, Metro Paragon and Causeway Point, BHG Bugis and Takashimaya S.C.
Price: $141 for 30ml; $203 for 50ml; $263 for 90ml.

7. Marc Jacobs: Just Perfect Eau de Parfum
Scent type: Amber floral fruity
Strawberry, jasmine and caramel make Just Perfect a tempting choice for girls who like their fruity perfumes sweet. Vanilla and amber round things out, while the silver chrome bottle comes topped with playful charms and a white bow. It’s a pretty candidate for your dinner-date rotation.
Available at: Marc Jacobs’ Singapore website, Sephora stores and selected local retailers.

8. KAYALI: Yum Vanilla Cupcake | 108 Eau de Parfum
Scent type: Sweet gourmand
For the girl who wishes she could bottle the smell of a bakery, KAYALI understood the assignment. Lemon sugar, rainbow sprinkles, caramel and sweet milk lead into creamy vanilla frosting. The 10ml option is particularly handy for dessert-scent fans who want to try it before committing to a bigger bottle.
Available at: Sephora Singapore.
Price: $53 for 10ml; $172 for 50ml; $238 for 100ml.

These hair and body mists can be worn alone or layered with complementary Daisy perfumes. The pastel 150ml bottles are cute for your vanity or gym tote, though less suited to a tiny handbag.
