Lacoste L!ve, Gucci Premiere, Escada Joyful and Boss Bottled are available at Rustan’s Department Store.
Gucci Première
Gucci introduces Gucci Première Eau de Toilette, a lighter, brighter, more delicate incarnation of this memorable signature scent, to celebrate the thrill of everyday success. While Gucci Première represents a red carpet moment or a big night out, the new Eau de Toilette version is softer. It has all the great presence of the original, but dialled down and freshened up. You really can wear it as your everyday fragrance.” It has a new bold brightness — radiant flowers and sparkling citrus notes bring a new lightness to the fragrance.
Lacoste L!ve
Lacoste L!ve is a cocktail of energy, creativity and a cool edge. It surprises and energizes, making each moment bigger and louder. The ingredients are expertly blended, coming together as one dynamic scent, but each also stands out individually — capturing a feeling of constant motion with ever changing sides as each note reveals itself.
The dynamic burst of lime as the top note hits you first. Then green leaves and aquatic notes are at the heart and accentuate the lime to bring vibrancy and freshness. The smoky warmth of Guaiac Wood and dark liquorice build the base notes of the fragrance, adding depths to the scent.
Lacoste Fragrances are exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Corporation and available in leading department stores and selected Lacoste boutiques nationwide.
Escada Joyful
The new Escada Joyful fragrance sets a cheerful mood that encourages one to see things positively, be confident, daring, and create joyful moments. It is a luminous scent filled with positive energizing notes. This sparkling floral water fragrance is for women who approach life with spontaneity; seizes life’s opportunities and embody the joy of living.
Inspired by the happiness you feel when receiving a beautiful bouquet of flowers, this delicate and light scent has the shimmering quality of morning dew. Fresh pink peony is at the heart, surrounded by white florals of magnolia with hints of juicy blackcurrant sorbet and the warmth of honeycomb.
Boss Bottled
Hugo Boss recently kicked off its campaign Boss Bottled with Gerard Butler as the new face. Personifying strength, chivalry, charm and the complexity of modern times, Gerard Butler perfectly mirrors modern masculinity and embodies the values of Boss Bottled. Dynamic and timeless, the Boss Bottled fragrance has been guiding men to success for more than 15 years. With its warm woody base, it is unmistakably masculine with fruity and citrus top notes of apple, lemon and plum, balance with a floral and spicy heart, dominated by geranium, with the added spice of cinnamon and clove.
