When celebrity make-up artist, Clarence Lee announced his interest in setting up a business, everyone assumed it was to be either a make-up school or beauty supply store. Instead, he chose his other passion, perfumes!

Oblique is an indie perfume store, retailing scents carefully curated from around the world. Nested in a 3-storey shophouse along the historic Telok Ayer Street, the store is designed as a relaxed and unpretentious environment where everyone is invited to discover their perfect scent.

The store is also the first to carry German made fragrances in Singapore and is constantly on the hunt for unique scents for discerning individuals.

Naturally, Clarence can't leave his passion of helping others - so together with up-and-coming makeup artist Ros Chan, Oblique offers bespoke beauty services from eyebrow reshaping, make-up and more to bring out the best in you.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Perfume is dead, long live perfume!

We emotionally declare the birth of a newly liberated territory: the Free State of Orange.

A land of olfactory liberality, free from every taboo, where insubordination and olfactory eroticism reign supreme. With Etat Libre d'Orange, perfumers are hence freed from censure and have found a subversive and playful territory of expression where personal fantasy has the upper hand on marketing concepts.

As if it were a return to the quintessence of perfume, to its raw animality, to its erotic energy, to the power of evoking the body and its urges.

For those who no longer want to merge with the mass but who on the contrary want to rediscover perfume as a tool of seduction.

It is through simplicity that the force of the concept reveals real depth.

An olfactive library that is telling stories about famous characters, raw materials and mythical years. The collection created by Gérald Ghislain is governed by no rules other than inspiration.

With his luxuriant imagination, this loquacious individual has chosen to bring his stories to life in perfumes, a sensitive and sensual medium. Histoires de Parfums releases its fragrances in a Deluxe edition to be read on skin.

Histoires de Parfums' perfumes perpetuate the French perfumery know-how, which features luxury, nobility and creativity. Histoires de Parfums maintains the highest qualitative standards in the choice of the raw materials as well as in the choice of the bottles, packaging and communication tools.

With this perfume library, Gérald Ghislain wanted to evoke stories through scent just as books are written with emotions.

From the late XVIIIth century to current day, art essentially encompasses the "fine arts" such as architecture, sculpture, painting, music, dance and poetry (and therefore literature) to which the cinema is often added: the 7th art.

In 2010, for its 8th anniversary of Parfumerie Générale, the establishment he founded in 2002, the Perfume Creator Pierre Guillaume joins forces with critic Octavian Coifan in the idea that Perfumery is perhaps The Eighth Art and presents his new creations under a second brand entitled "Huitième Art Parfums" (Eighth Art Perfumes).

Huitième Art Parfums avails of these new extracts, new plant "captures" as the starting point for its compositions, to bring their formulas life and lustre and explore an avenue of inspiring plant and technical perfumery, resolutely "Natural" with the emphasis on originality and sophistication: contemporary phytoperfumery.

Humiecki & Graef deconstructs the classical conceptual approach to luxury perfumery and reassembles it in a remarkable, contemporary interpretation.

Inspired by atypical, emotionally evocative motifs such as madness, melancholy and fury, translated into select scents.

The perfumes are not only works of art but also elixirs of the different emotions that they portray; a journey through the culture and world of human feelings.

All Humiecki & Graef perfumes are filled and confectioned by hand and therefore fulfill the requirements of being unique.

A perfume is a work of art, and Mona di Orio's creation is the marriage of the perfect raw materials. Discover the secret, take some time and enjoy...

Mona di Orio writes her fragrance formula in absolute freedom and without any compromises. The raw materials are her words, her colours, and her notes of music. In search for light, a melody, and an emotion; to catch the beauty, the harmony, to feel, and to dream. Our skin, a unique alchemy takes place: the fragrance becomes your own.

The choice of the champagne muselet locking the black bakelite cap has not been made by change. Mona di Orio wants to express the life contained in her fragrances, like a sparkling, bubbling perfume. She feels close to Jacquesson's champagne because she shares the same philosophy: The best quality, exclusivity, uniqueness and authenticity. Mona di Orio is proud to use the original Jacquesson's muselet on their caps.

NOBILE 1942 fragrances contain essential oils obtained through natural processes of steeping, filtering, and distillation. This results in a lengthy production process, but our patience is rewarded by heightened aromas and tenacious fragrances that maintain their substance and full body.

The use of natural raw materials provides the fragrance with another unique characteristic: adaptability. It changes with the mood and temperament of the moment to take on unique, unforgettable variations in olfactory pleasure.

The source of inspiration is Italian culture, associated in a range of different ways to olfactory creations.

All NOBILE 1942 products come with a seal that certifies their originality. And even the bottling, labelling, and packaging are done by hand with the care and dedication of a true craftsman.

"You need absolute freedom to create beautiful fragrances. And you need time. And the best ingredients you can get. That is the true mystery how to create thrilling fragrances."

...with love, from Zurich, Switzerland.

What started as a fragrance for a friend with a bookshop developed into a brand with a face and fragrances that are known worldwide.

Andy Tauer does neither invest in models, nor in expensive marketing campaigns. Every bottle leaving his studio in Zurich has gone through his hands. Andy is dedicated to develop perfumery as an artisan craft, and wants to stay connected to what he is creating. Purely self taught, he started his company in Switzerland in 2005 and sells his fragrances worldwide. He insists on staying independent and follows his taste and instinct.
