HMNS – The Perfection
Indonesia
A fresh fusion of spice and floral sweetness creates a compelling scent with The Perfection by HMNS. Among the spice-enhancing notes like bergamot, elemi, and nutmeg, the Indonesian clove takes the spotlight, elevating the spice-rich composition to new heights.
As the fruity and floral sweetness of lavender, tagetes, lily of the valley, and green pear complement the meticulously crafted spice of the fragrance, The Perfection becomes a unique blend, with a rare element further enriching the aroma.

Auphorie – Miyako
Malaysia
Just after the year of its release, Miyako by Auphorie is quick to make waves by winning The 2016 Art and Olfactory Awards. Using unique ingredients like katsura leaf, yuzu, and kin-mokusei with hinoko, these rare elements capture the distinguished zest of nature’s freshness.
The experience will feel like a serene walk in The Far East Land. Surrounded by blooming kin-mokusei with fresh apricots, peaches, and yuzu lingering in the air, fresh florals and ripe sweetness create an entrancing atmosphere.
With gentle notes of jasmine green tea and other precious woods to enhance the naturally rich character of the fragrance, serenity and elegance are both encapsulated in a single bottle.
Wren Atalier – Manila Oud
Philippines
An authentic Filipino experience takes shape in Wren Atalier’s fragrance, transforming floral elements of sampaguita and the sweet warmth of banana cue into a luscious and refined fragrance.
With Manila Oud, the bright notes of sampaguita and elemi unfold with artfully layered banana cue accords. As the fragrance takes you to the lively streets and churches of Manila, the fresh dew of sampaguita and the aroma of newly cooked banana cues travel the air in a harmony of a bright and sweet sensation.
This unique composition offers a one of a kind experience as the beloved comforts of Manila merges with innovative craftsmanship, creating a fragrance that exudes warmth and sophisticated elegance.
Morra – Perfume No. 54
Vietnam
For men with effortless confidence, Morra’s Perfume No. 54 is a fragrance that naturally commands the room. Using a deep, warm, and delectable blend of spice, the fragrance not only leaves an impression that lasts, but stands out.
Perfume No. 54 uses pimiento to immediately deliver warmth and distinction. To complement the bold impression of spice, the sweetness of vanilla creates the indulgence of eating a favorite sweet.
To amplify the spicy-sweet combination, the rare benzoin projects a luscious vanilla caramel aroma with hints of almond. In a rich and delectable fusion that is quietly seductive, Perfume No. 54 ensures that you will be the most attractive man to enter any room.
