Dyson
Prussian Blue and Rich Copper collection
Dyson has returned for the holiday season with a limited-edition and unique colourway for their two best-selling hairstyling essentials, the Dyson Supersonic and Dyson Airwrap styler. This vivid, deep blue and copper collection adds the perfect subtle pop of colour on any vanity and makes for an ideal gift for the season.

Shiseido
Gifts from the Heart
This ornate two-piece collection contains limited-edition versions of the Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate and the Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Cream. The one-off seasonal design has been created in collaboration with artist Koji Iyama, the creator of Washi tape, and is inspired by Japanese wrapping culture. In Japan, gift-giving is a symbol of affection, and the wrapping itself is part of the present; an art form symbolising devotion.
There are five motifs present on the packaging. The stripes on the packaging are inspired by “Mizuhiki”, a decorative knot that is used on gifts. The hearts embody the love of gifting. The “Moire” motif is a series of patterns inspired by traditional Japanese design and has been interwoven with festive snowflakes. Finally, the dots represent the beauty of simplicity—they are a classic festive staple that crop up all year round.
Chanel
Nº5 Holiday Collection 2021
The beauty house’s end-of-year collection is a celebration of their cult-classic Nº5 fragrance. Within this collection, you’ll find the new Holiday Makeup Collection inspired by the fragrance, limited-edition revamps of the Nº5 EDP (RM677) and Nº5 L’Eau (RM677), and a limited-edition version of the brand’s Nº5 Grand Extrait Baccarat 2021ml (RM126,000)—the largest fragrance produced by the house to date, with only 55 units available.
The new Holiday Makeup collection is filled with shades inspired by the bottle of the Nº5 fragrance, and contains a limited-edition Nº5 Les 4 Ombres palette, two shades of Ombre Première Laque Glitter, a Le Volume Révolution, five new shades of Rouge Allure, a new shade of Fluide Enlumineur, a golden beige Baume Essentiel, and two shades of Les Vernis.

The flagship of the collection is the home fragrance diffuser, which features an ornate container and comes in three emblematic scents: Baies, Roses, or Tubéreuse.

Christian Dior
La Collection Privée
The holiday season calls for cheer and ornate decoration—that’s what La Collection Privée is designed to bring you. For the jolly occasion, Christian Dior’s collection of perfumes, soaps, candles, and olfactory delights are set to get a major makeover.
Designed by artist Alice Shirley, the limited-edition collection is covered in finely illustrated flora and fauna motifs and painted in rich tones of blue, white and gold.

Aesop
Anatomy of Generosity Gift Kits
The Australian brand is back with another range of holiday gift kits, each of which has been tied to one of five registered charity groups. The concept behind each kit is to honour and encourage everyday acts of kindness—a goal that Aesop has kicked off with an AUD$500,000 donation (approx. RM1,523,576), with AUD100,000 (approx. RM309,073) going to each charity.
There are five kits available, including The Advocate (cleansers and hydrators for the hands and body in support of Voice of Witness), The Listener (a trio of skin and neck care essentials in support of Pan Intercultural Arts), The Mentor (an antioxidant-rich cleansing, toning, and hydrating triptych in support of Create UK), The Forager (a citrus-infused body care duo in support of Photographers Without Borders), and The Protector (a trio of home and office fragrances in support of the Karrkad Kanjdji Trust).
Available in-store at Aesop nationwide.
Cirè Trudon
A King Christmas
Trudon’s holiday collection centres around the pillars of the Christmas olfactory experience: hot chocolate, burning wood, leather, and fresh pine, all of which are topped with a heavy helping of spice. There are five candles on offer in this collection—Bayonne, Gloria, Fir, Gabriel, and Ernesto—and they are perfect for setting the mood this holiday season.
Each candle is ornately decorated in rich tones of red, blue, green and gold, making them double as a functional decoration for your mantlepiece. Plus, if you’d like to give the gift of holiday spirit to your loved one, there is a seasonal exclusive gift set on offer too, featuring the Fir and Gloria candles.
