It looks like a royal scepter but the elaborate, metal-alloy cylinder coated with hand-polished ruby enamel and inlaid with 341 Swarovski crystals actually houses a woody men’s fragrance of ambrette, musk and cedar aptly named Glory for Men. The price? A cool S$11,600. The female counterpart is a gorgeous bouquet of sandalwood, ylang-ylang and mimosa encased in a jeweled metallic orb with 2,026 Swarovski crystals costing S$12,300.

The opulent store clad in black and gold tones, with a starry ceiling and shimmering chandeliers, is the third one after boutiques along Billionaires’ Row in New York and Knightsbridge, London. There’s no limit on the production time or quality of ingredients used—for example, half a tonne of flowers is used to get 300ml of the highest quality narcissus or jasmine oil with the process taking up to four years to yield sufficient quantities for a single fragrance.
