Future Memories is not what you'd expect from a fragrance by Byredo. At first whiff, you're greeted with a top note of blackcurrant (an unusual fruit note for the brand) before it settles into a floral middle, then the musky base emerges. It's an uplifting scent that, like its name suggests, imprints onto your fragrance wardrobe before you encounter it. A foregone conclusion.
The path to hitting that marathon PB is consistency and the perfect pair of running kicks. Nike's latest Alphafly 4 is touted to be its lightest and most responsive model of the series, thanks to the ZoomX LT foam. Designed for avid marathoners, it is similarly great for everyday runners trying to push themselves further.
The union of two kinds of Japanese artistry, Hibiki worked with Chiso on a collectible limited-edition bottle. One of the most revered kimono houses, founded in Kyoto in 1555, Chiso, reimagined Hibiki's 24-faceted bottle with a bespoke floral design inspired by Japan's changing seasons.
The Loewe Amazona 180 continues to be reimagined by creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, and this time, it's designed as a messenger bag. While still retaining the characteristics of the Amazona 180—a more supple construction with whisker-like leather zipper tabs—this is an easy silhouette to adopt into your style and would easily become a go-to workhorse.
Anyone who works out would be familiar with the importance of creatine as a supplement—a naturally occurring compound that aids in strength, recovery and cognitive function. FOULPLAY's creatine bites deliver 1,800mg of creatine monohydrate per bite, which means you only need three for the full recommended dose. And its Hakuto Peach flavour helps too.
As part of the 50th anniversary of Birkenstock's beloved Boston silhouette, the brand enlisted music video director Cole Bennett to add his creative touch to the slip-ons. The result is a wool felt upper in off-white, finished with a crescent-shaped buckle in antique dark copper. As tactile as the pair feels, you're also encouraged to trim the felt however you like to further customise and imbue character.
Polydeoxyribonucleotide, or simply known as PDRN, has become the rage in skincare. While it's traditionally extracted from a salmon's reproductive cells, vegan alternatives have also been introduced recently. The Ordinary's version is the first in its line-up, offered as a lightweight eye cream that promises to reduce visible fine lines and firm the eye contour and eyelids for a more radiant visage.
We believe nothing beats putting down thoughts through pen on paper, and Montblanc concurs. More than a fancy cover for your journal, this leather notebook holder is a masterfully designed organiser that includes a loop for a writing instrument. Never again will you fuss around for a pen.
The TUDOR Northflag returns after five years with a redesign both in name and aesthetics. Previously known as "North Flag", this revived version sticks to the design elements of the 1973 Ranger II model that the original was based on, now with an integrated link bracelet. The refreshed dial features a 24-hour rehaut angled at 45 degrees, as well as a 24-hour marker in the same striking yellow as the original.
Your adult colouring book needs a new companion, and RIMOWA has just the thing. In a partnership with fellow German brand Faber-Castell, a specially designed Artist Case houses co-branded graphite pencils, 120 Polychromos colour pencils, and a RIMOWA-branded sharpener and eraser. The case itself is crafted from RIMOWA's signature aluminium, and opens up to a two-level tray system so that every piece is visible and within easy reach.
