Scent Of The Year 2021 - 21 March 2021

Discovery - At the heart of Discovery is the warmth of ginger, an ingredient that transcends individual cultures to symbolise the common ground we all share in the worldwide community. Combined with the tartness of starfruit, the creaminess of mango and the warmth of vanilla spice.

April - The Last Paradise Collection (part 2)



Tropical Starfruit - Kissed by the sun ; sweet notes of juicy starfruit, pineapple and citrus blend together as if they have just been picked and offered at the local market.

Exotic Acai Bowl - Exotic fruit gathered from around the island, naturally sweet and blended with notes of creamy coconut with a hint of rose and jasmine.

Moonlit Cove - Slip away to a hidden cove where the moonlight sparkles on the water while notes of lemongrass, ginger and woodsy botanicals enchant the senses.

Cliffside Sunrise - The reward for your early rising. A warm breeze carries notes of exotic fruit and flowers as the first morning light reflects off the water.


Andy's First Sniff Thoughts : Tropical Starfruit is a bright, fruity sweet burst that almost smells like bananas - but there's no banana in it! Exotic Acai Bowl has a creamy, milky fruit and muskiness to it - maybe it's a grower! Moonlit Cove actually captures the aroma of musky water like you would find in a cave - a revelation! Cliffside Sunrise is like an early morning bowl of lush strawberries! 


Elevation Range - (first half of 2021)

Rose Hibiscus, Sea Minerals, Cactus Flower & Agave, Jasmine & Pomelo


Andy's First Sniff Thoughts : Rose Hibiscus is a full on bright pink floral aroma. Sea Minerals is the freshest spa you've ever experienced! Cactus Flower and Agave has that aloe vera feel to it - a must for fans of the much missed Aloe Water. Jasmine & Pomelo is a beautiful soft mix of delicate floral and fruit - very nice indeed and not quite what you'd expect.
