INTO THE BLEU

Three levels of intensity for three different characters, Chanel's Bleu de Chanel fragrance is for the man who marches to the beat of his own drum. We spotlight three men-each with his own strong personality and their take on the scent.

When it comes to fragrances, think of the right scent as the finishing touch to your look. It announces your presence and helps make a lasting impression long after you’ve left a room. It’s an armour of confidence, an olfactory ambiance, that accompanies you through the day. Here, artistes Glenn Yong and Gavin Teo, as well as fitness instructor Robin Tiang, share their thoughts on the importance of a good scent and how it makes them feel.

What does masculinity mean to you? Masculinity is being confident and comfortable in your own skin.

Share with us a recent bold move that you made. Writing and releasing my first English single, “Up Up”. This is me plucking up the courage to finally express my thoughts and feelings about being in the entertainment industry over the past four years. I’ve not been bold enough to express it before this because it’s easy for people to misquote you when you’re so new to the industry. So, after four years, I think I’m ready to talk about it and hopefully, empower more people who are going through tough times in their lives.

What do you think makes a man elegant? To me, elegance is when a man is focused, decisive and knows what he wants. It shows in his sense of style, the way he does things and the way he carries himself.

How important is scent to you? It’s very important. I wear one every day. Wearing perfume is a way of expressing yourself—it’s like an extended part of who you are.
