Newly added fragrance brand will be exclusively available at Nuance-Watson stores for a month from February 14 onwards.

Nuance-Watson Singapore has recently partnered with Coty to introduce the new Just Cavalli fragrance at the Changi Airport Perfumes & Cosmetics stores. Just Cavalli for her is a sexy and provocative new fragrance by Roberto Cavalli, catering to the young (and to the young at heart) and trendy. It is the scent of youth, seduction and fun. This is a new inclusion to the impressive fragrance brands lined up at Perfumes & Cosmetics.

Just Cavalli is about an attitude, a way of being. It marks a powerful symbol of belonging. Conceived by master perfumers Nathalie Lorson and Fabrice Pellegrin of the Firmenich company, Just Cavalli is a creamy sexy floral composition. Fresh, intense and alluring, it is an invigorating fragrance with top note of Neroli followed by a magnetic heart note of the precious Tahitian Tiare flower. This enticing floral mix is grounded by a creamy palissander wood accord that adds power and nobility. The flacon is made of pink glass and golden metal to evoke femininity and sensuality.

Ms Chillie Por, Head of Merchandising and Marketing at Nuance-Watson Singapore says, “Just Cavalli is the first fragrance from highly celebrated Roberto Cavalli label to launch at our stores. We are pleased to have been ahead of downtown stores and other airports to have the product on-counter and we aim to constantly bring in such exciting brands to the consumers of Changi Airport. We have successfully launched a number of celebrity fragrances over the years and we are seeing a steady demand for such scents as it adds interest to the overall retail offerings. Just Cavalli definitely has potential to succeed in travel retail similar to its already successful and established fashion label worldwide.”

Just Cavalli is exclusive to Perfumes & Cosmetics for one month ahead of other airports and two months ahead of Singapore local markets. The fragrance is available in 50ml and 100ml bottles.
 

Nuance-Watson Singapore is pleased to announce that Perfumes & Cosmetics at Changi Airport is the first among Asia Pacific Airports to launch the new version of the last signature perfume created by Balmain in 1979 – the Ivoire. The fragrance will be exclusively available in duty-free market at Changi Airport for the 1st quarter of 2013.

Ivoire is one of the most sought after perfumes of the eighties by the House of Balmain. Founded in 1945, the Pierre Balmain label consecrated the “Pretty Lady” spirit. Combining attention to detail and voluptuousness, this silhouette of a free and elegant woman, who has a taste for adventure and a hint of casualness, left an indelible mark on its time. Almost a half-century later, the brand has successfully re-established its position in recent years as a luxury brand that resonates around the world with young women on the cutting edge of trends, women who have a well-defined and sexy look. Balmain has invented “couture ready-to-wear”.

The original Ivoire was inspired by a sovereign beauty as she descended the Paris Opera staircase draped in a pale silk gown. This woman needs a fragrance worthy of her, one that is contemporary, sensitive and haute couture. Ivoire was a scent with a strong personality. It was a very aldehydic fragrance borne by fruity harmonies. Staying true to its original traits, the newly launched fragrance is updated with familiar notes but with a more modern twist.

Ivoire is available in EDP 50ml and 100ml. The fragrance is currently on-counter at Perfumes & Cosmetics at Singapore Changi Airport.
