Supercharge the boring gray of the weekday by surrounding yourself with functional items for your wardrobe, home, and office.
This is an excerpt from Lifestyle Asia’s June 2023 Issue.
Bulgari Pour Homme Eau De Toilette
Retreat into a harmonious sensory experience at any time of the day with this pure, serene, and strong expression crafted by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavalier. Lift your mood in a melody of Darjeeling tea, notes of water lily, transparent amber, and rich musk–giving you the best chance of being your very best self.
Bulgari is available at Rustan’s Department Stores, SM Mall of Asia, SM Aura Premier, SM Megamall, and Trinoma.
Aesop Olous Aromatique Room Spray
Creating a sanctuary in a living space is a continuous task. While candles and smoky incense can give a room a sense of calm, sometimes you just need a quick hit. With a gentle but refreshing blend of citrus botanicals, waves of Cedar and spicy Cardamom, create a little safe space for yourself whenever you need it.
Aesop stores are in Greenbelt and Power Plant Mall.
