Dior Sauvage Elixir
A Depp of Johnny on your wrist? – Pretty much everyone and their grandmas had a whiff of the legal drama surrounding Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard in the early part of this year. Most of us also knew about how the brooding actor was dropped from the Disney franchise – Pirates of the Caribbean, plus other endorsements. However, it was also widely known that the house of Dior stuck by him, keeping him as the face of its man-scent – the Sauvage Elixir. After all, Depp gave creative input when the nose of Dior, Francois Demachy was creating this scent. This move has turned out well for Sauvage Elixir – it reportedly sold out in the weeks after the trial, and is said to be the world’s best-selling perfume right now, thanks to the Depp effect.
Launched first in 2021, the Sauvage Elixir is an intense perfume with top notes of grapefruit wrapped around savoury tones of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamon and rum. A bespoke blend of various harvests of French lavender together with Indonesian patchouli picks up the mid-range, the heart essence of this potent brew, followed by dry down notes of amber, Frankincense and Haitian vetiver. The ingredient list of this not-necessarily-just-for-the-guys cologne, reveals a big heady rush of all things strong and spicy. For the ladies who prefer a dash of masculine mystery in their perfume, this bottle of midnight blue glass might just be the scent for the job. Besides, who doesn’t love a little Depp on their wrists?
Sauvage Elixir (100ml) sells for SGD345 from 1 October 2022 at all Dior Beauty Boutiques and counters. Also available in a 60ml version on the Dior Beauty Online Boutique (https://shop.dior.com.sg/).
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme
The Eye Cheat Cream – This ubiquitous little brown pot needs no introduction. For 30 years, Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair range has been a best seller for many in their anti-ageing beauty regimen. The product in question here – the Eye Gel-Creme has received a glow up to incorporate next generation skincare ingredients with a double-formulation to fight free-radical and combat skin damage like dark circles and lines, as well as boost skin rejuvenation. The technology is next generation and complex for most of us to fully comprehend – but from its press release, we can attempt to summate that there are several proprietary skin ingredients that work to fight tired-looking eyes. The trademarked Chronolux Power Signal Technology works in tandem an exclusively synthesised protein – “Tri-peptide 32” and the patented FR-Defense to coax further collagen production, keep skin protected and moisturised for 100 hours with one application, and deliver hours of antioxidant protection. Also noted is that none of the notorious ingredients like mineral oil, sulphates and parabens have been invited to this bright-eyed party pot. Their words, not ours.
The next-gen Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme retails for SGD119 at all Estée Lauder stores, the Official Flagship Store on Lazada, at all Sephora stores and Sephora.com.sg, as well as all authorised retailers including BHG, Isetan, Metro, OG, Takashimaya, and TANGS.

Next up, the Lash & Brow Double Fix’ Mascara is an invisible gel that groom, set and waterproof lashes and brows. With organic cranberry oil in its arsenal of plant-based ingredients, this dual-purpose mascara keeps unruly brows and lashes neat, protects them from the elements, prevents the smudged panda eyes and is said to boost a lash-growing complex that encourages fuller and longer lashes after 28 days of use.
Hermès Violette Volynka Fragrance
Hermès latest scent – opposing notes surprise – Hermès latest scent addition to its luxury Hermessence line, Violette Volynka is a heady but surprising power coupling of the soft powdery violet flower with a strong Volynka leather note. Created by house perfumer Christine Nagel, she explains her choice of concoction of two very different materials as a unison of the masculine and feminine , “…the flower and the leather take turns to assert their character, interact and equalise with each other, until the powdery softness of the violet blends with the strength of the leather, and they speak with one voice.”
Available in 100 ml and 200ml bottles topped off with purple leather-bound caps, the 100ml version also offers a limited edition version in seven different colour leathers with price available upon request only. Intriguing.
Prices starting from SGD424, the Violette Volynka is available from 1 September at Hermès Liat Towers, Hermès Marina Bay Sands, Hermès Takashimaya, Takashimaya Department Store, Tangs Department Store and Hermes.com.

Alcohol-free J’adore Parfum d’eau from Dior – Heralding a new way of perfumery, Dior debuts its J’adore as a concentrated eau de parfum that consists entirely of water and flowers, with no trace of alcohol. In traditional perfumes, alcohol is an integral component responsible for distilling the scent from ingredients and ensuring a lasting and intense scent on skin.
Via a high-pressure nano-emulsion technique, Dior has successfully created a water-based perfume that delivers the whole bouquet of floral freshness without needing the top, heart and dry down base sequence of notes.

Dior Beauty Miss Dior Bobby 2nd Edition
A furry nose for THAT scent – Dior’s beloved pooch, Bobby, is an inspiration for many of Dior’s creations. And since 1952, Bobby as a bottle was recreated last year and became such a success that this is the encore to hold the 2022 remix of Miss Dior Eau de Parfum. Sitting up on his hind legs and wearing a collar sporting creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri’s multi-coloured millefiori garden visual, Bobby holds a scent that mirrors his collar – a bouquet of floral accords with rose, iris and peony notes.

The refills come in slim golden bullets that can only work with a main lipstick case with the Rouge Allure click mechanism. While it seems some beauty enthusiasts are a tad disgruntled about the smaller 2g refill sizes, almost everyone raves about the lipstick itself.

Dior La Mousse OFF/ON
The latest skin cleanser from Dior is an initiative following an extensive research conducted by parent company LVMH on skin damage caused by heavy metals at doses that mimic levels present in urban air pollution. The research showed that heavy metals can accumulate and penetrate skin to trigger effects ranging from DNA alteration to a compromise in skin’s barrier function, thus accelerating ageing. As such, the new purifying cleanser from Dior has incorporated a cleansing technology that focuses on purifying skin and removing such pollution and heavy metal impurities. The hero ingredient – Water lily extract is tasked with not only cleansing and strengthening the skin’s barrier, but also stimulating the skin to begin its detoxification process. La Mousse OFF/ON is also in the currently popular micellar form to gently but thoroughly cleanse skin of all makeup and other unwanted particles. In its press release, Dior Beauty proposes that this new cleanser removes 99% of pollution particles and can limit 20% of the damage caused to the skin’s barrier layer.
Priced at SGD69, Dior La Mousse OFF/ON Cleanser is now available at all Dior Beauty boutiques, counters and online at shop.dior.com.sg.

But with this currently released limited edition Over Noir, anyone who thought they were safe and satisfied with their previous little leather compact, would be struggling to stay away from this version – black, soft, crinkled leather-effect case with an all-black finish to the YSL logo crown.

Dior Homme Sport 2022
Smells like sweet strength – For 2022, House of Dior has chosen to revamp its fragrance for men with a splash of warm and spicy notes and have English heartthrob and the next Batman, actor Robert Pattison, become the face of Dior Homme Sport. The theme of the campaign shows Pattison fists up and ready for combat to emphasise the quiet but stealthy strength of a boxer, just like the fragrance with its signature fresh and uplifting scent reworked to strike the olfactory senses with a three-note accord of fresh Aldehyde, with zesty Bergamot and Italian lemon, followed with pine-y elemi and intense Frankincense and finally wrapped into a dry down of mellow woody and amber notes. Sporting a clean and streamlined silhouette to its bottle, Dior’s latest and its fourth iteration is certainly not only meant for the boys, but also for someone who is looking for a luxurious but very wearable scent. We also see that Kim Jones designed boxing gloves specifically for this campaign so the question is – are they for sale too?
Priced at $130 (75ml) and $180 (125ml), the newly reformulated Dior Homme Sport will be available at all Dior Beauty boutiques and counters from 01 February 2022, and online at shop.dior.com.sg as well.
Chanel Makeup Rouge Allure Velvet La Comète Collection
Cosmic girl – In 1932, Chanel’s first jewellery range ‘Bijoux de Diamants’ was inspired by the cosmos of stars and the idea to envelop the woman in glittering constellations. 16 years later, the House has decided to extend this desire to its range of makeup for lips and cheeks. The familiar click case of this limited edition lipstick is embossed with the trailblazing comet taken from its iconic necklace by the same name. An ultra-fine pearly formula gives a luminous yet matte finish to the eight shades of brown, plum and vibrant reds, created specially for this collection. Available in two healthy-flush hues, the Blush Comète opens to reveal an optical illusion pressed into the powder blush. Like a lenticular image, a shooting star or the double C logo is visible, depending on the viewer’s angle, when peeked through the compact’s mirror.
Rouge Allure Velvet La Comète retails at SGD58 for lipstick and SGD103 for blush at all Chanel Fragrance and Beauty boutiques and counters, as well as online at sg-eshop.chanel.com from 6 Jan.
