A delightful scent does plenty for your home, whether it’s creating a relaxing ambience or stirring up pleasant memories. Our olfactory senses are closely intertwined with emotion and memory. Flaming Queen knows this intimately, having been in the premium home fragrance business for over a decade.

Helmed by Jess Tay, the multi-brand retailer and distributor of home fragrances and accessories carries a selection of exquisite brands like Baobab Collection, Locherber Milano, and Royal Doulton Home Fragrance. Aside from fragrances, it also offers a range of interior home accessories including floormats and lighting solutions that elevate your living space.

Homeowners will appreciate the extensive collection of quality essential oils, which are sourced from around the globe. Diffusers and candles specially created for Asian noses also add to the fine selection.

Shoppers can explore these across departmental stores such as Takashimaya, Tangs, BHG, Metro and four stores: the Mandarin Gallery flagship, Wheelock Place, Great World, and the latest, Paragon (#03-45), opening in Q3 this year.

Here are four brands we’ve got our eyes on:

Locherber Milano

Birthed in Milan, Locherber Milano is a luxury lifestyle and fragrance brand committed to keeping Italian artisanal craftsmanship alive. What’s unique about the diffusers is that each cover is handcrafted from “briccole” wood, sourced from oakwood poles that mark the start of the shipping lanes of the Venetian lagoon. Its signature collection alludes to the Venice Sea with fresh, marine-inspired notes of lavender and bergamot. Make a beeline for Venetiae, an aquatic and flowery scent with top notes of bergamot and Sicilian lemon, middle notes of lavender, seaweed, and myrtle, as well as base notes of cedarwood and tree moss.

Dr. Vranjes Firenze

Elegant fragrances crafted from natural ingredients and the world’s finest essential oils are the hallmark of Dr. Vranjes Firenze. Created by master perfumer Paolo Vranjes in Florence, top picks include Bellini; a cocktail-inspired fragrance featuring notes of peach, white grape, and ginger, and Rosso Nobile, a fragrance that pays homage to a full-bodied, mature red wine. For the fragrance house’s 40th anniversary, it unveiled a limited-edition Rosso Nobile, presented in an original 1983 green box and embellished with a gold pattern that reveals the number 40 amid Florentine-inspired geometric shapes.

Baobab Collection

Influenced by African heritage and crafted in Belgium, Baobab Collection’s candles may be beautiful objects of decoration, but there’s more than meets the eye. Each is made with Egyptian cotton wick and high-quality wax used to seal jam jars, resulting in an exceptionally clean burn. Poured into hand-blown glass vases, the candles feature fragrances created by a renowned perfumer in Grasse. Looking to make a statement? It has large candles that burn up to 800 hours. Those who fancy fresh and sophisticated scents will appreciate Black Pearls, a signature blend of ginger and black rose. The candle is housed in hand-blown glass and decorated with black and iridescent details that reference the black pearls of the Pacific Ocean.
