Le Labo debuts Violette fragrance

The latest scent to join Le Labo’s Classic collection is a cosy one evocative of clean laundry and lazy days.

Violette 30 ($335 for 50ml) is an ode to the violet and “undefinable contrasts”, inspired by the flower’s long, almost paradoxical symbolism that spans burning passion to wide-eyed innocence.

Centred on the white violet, the fragrance pairs verdant green floral notes with white tea, cedarwood and a touch of guaiac wood. Aldehydes and rose in the top notes give it an airy quality that puts you in the mood to daydream, with incense, cumin and woody notes adding a grounded quality to pull you back to earth.

If Pantone’s colour of the year Cloud Dancer had a scent, it would be this.

Info: Available at Le Labo stores, including 01-36 The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, 2 Bayfront Avenue

Festive footwear from Birkenstock

Chinese New Year in Birkenstock’s world looks a lot like plush red clogs and auspicious gold accents. Its Spring Festival Special Edition spotlights three key silhouettes: the Boston, Arizona and Florida.

Wear fortune on your feet with the Florida D-Buckle Full Exquisite in Zinfandel ($379), adorned with golden D-buckles on its three straps, and with a cork-latex footbed in deep Zinfandel red.

Drawing from the Year of the Fire Horse, the closed-toe Boston ($299), with its textured hair-on-hide strap, pays tribute to the untamed energy and grace of the zodiac animal.

Also seen on the Boston Half Exquisite Cloud Paint ($299), along with the Arizona ($269), is the swirled gold cloud motif – a significant symbol in Chinese culture for representing transformation, harmony, success and good fortune.
