Here are the new fragrances to get to celebrate your return to the office

Good news! After months of working at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Health has finally eased on workplace restrictions.

Since 28 September, the authorities have allowed the gradual return of people back to their workplaces, provided that companies and employees follow a strict protocol mandated by the MOH.

After staying home for so long – probably forgoing your fragrances (but hopefully not personal hygiene!) – splurging on a new fragrance to mark your return to the office and that things are slowly going back to “normal” sounds like the best way to celebrate.

In the words of the timeless Coco Chanel, “No elegance is possible without perfume. It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory.”

Ready to browse and splurge in the most highly anticipated fragrances of the year? Here are Daily Vanity‘s top picks!
