A good fragrance has the power to evoke certain emotions and even bring back memories that we have forgotten. What easier way to leave an
impression than by having a signature scent? However, with a finite number of fragrances in the world, it can be a challenge when it comes to
customising your signature fragrance.
That said, we’ve found some of the world’s most respected perfumeries that not only create exquisite scents, but also specialise in crafting a
perfume specially for you. The best part? They are available in Singapore.
Frederic Malle partnered The Hour Glass to introduce his eponymous label in
2002. The purveyor’s philosophy is entrenched in the principles of concocting
exclusive and creative fragrances before selling them under the creator’s
names.
We were amazed to find out who were some of the select few who had
perfumes named after them. High-end purveyors such as Jean Claude Ellena
(creator of Hermès Un Jardin) Edmond Roudnitska (creator of Christian Dior
Diorella) and Maurice Roucel (creator of Gucci Envy) were some names that
were labelled behind the brand’s most prized perfumes. If you’re a perfume
aficionado yourself, you may just be one of those people chosen by Frederic
Malle to create and name your very own fragrance.

If you’re looking for something highly exclusive, Fragrance Du Bois is the
brand for you. The magic of Fragrance Du Bois was birthed originally in the
Bastide Du Bois, situated somewhere in Grasse, France. It’s exact location
is only revealed to a select number of exceptionally gifted individuals in the
world.
A trip to the Bastide Du Bois is by invitation only and individuals will have
the attention of one of the world’s finest Noses. Their mission? To create an
original, bespoke, fine fragrance that reflects each individual’s personality and
style.
The secret ingredient within every Fragrance Du Bois concoction is Oud oil,
extracted in its purest form from the wood of an Aquilaria Tree. Every scent is
collected in an exquisitely hand made Murano glass bottle by luxury perfume
atomiser maker Marcel Franck. Endorsed by the Prince Albert II of Monaco
Foundation, Fragrance Du Bois is undoubtedly the epitome of exclusive.
