2. Alluring perfume from Penhaligon’s
The fact that we can be attracted to a person simply by his or her scent proves the importance of picking the right perfume.

We love the interactive guide they have in-store to help you choose the right fragrance. Make the gift personalised by adding your loved one’s name or anniversary date. Mmhmm, love is in the air!

Available on weekends from 11am to 3pm, Scarlett provides 2-hour free-flow oyster at $298, and you can even add $100 for two hours of free-flow French sparkling.
