Philippe Starck’s debut collection of perfumes contains three fragrances –
Peau de Soie, Peau de Pierre and
Peau d’Ailleurs (HK$850/40ml) under the
Starck Paris brand. Since Starck refuses to reveal the notes of the perfumes, it is best if you take a sniff yourself. Available at K11 Design Store, in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Atelier Cologne’s Clémentine California (HK$650/30ml) is inspired by the founders Sylvie Ganter and Christophe Cervasel’s road trip through the Golden State. Ingredients including mandarin, juniper berries and, of course, clementine create a citrusy scent while spicy notes such as star anise and Sichuan pepper add a bit of zest, so it’s not overly sweet.
Giorgio Armani’s Code Colonia (HK$680/75ml) is a subtle and refreshing scent for men, with a “fresh out of the shower” fragrance, while
Code Cashmere (HK$630/50ml), for women, bursts with fruity, floral notes.
