Rising Stars

Fronting every cult local beauty brand is a knock-out product that we all know of, but behind each label is another that deserves more attention. These products are specially highlighted by the brand founders, and the Elle Singapore team puts them to the test

“A new way to scents”

A DOSE OF SOMETHING GOOD SNUFF BOX, $160

As far as diffusers go, this one wins for design — hands down. Provided with kit are 14 ceramic pieces in the shape of noses, meant to be placed within the jar and doused in scent (like a potpourri satchet) Get this: unlike the standard diffuser that releases aroma from just one location in your space, placing one or two ‘noses’ in different spaces in your home works well to envelope your entire space in your favourite fragrance. We tried ours out with The Violent Woods, a robust scent that calls to mind dark, woody interiors and foliage. — Andrea Sim
