Maison 21G: Custom Home Scents & Perfumes

16 May 2021 in SHOP, SINGAPORE

I’ve always found it pretty special to have something customised and was recently introduced to the very popular perfume creation brand Maison 21G, who kindly reached out with an opportunity to create a customised product of my own!

To start, I’d like to share that Maison 21G’s signature product is their custom perfume, but I’m not much of a perfume wearer, so I asked if I could customised a home scent instead, which is another one of their lovely products. The end result, as pictured above, is my bespoke Bergamot & Fig home scent! :) It’s fresh, fruity and makes my room smell like summer, I love it! 

More below on the brand, the fun AI personality quiz they offer, my customised scent and a discount code to use! 

About Maison 21G

Maison 21G is a French haute perfumery brand that is headquartered in Singapore, with 3 retail locations and an online shopping experience. The brand was founded by Johanna Monange, a French scent designer and creative director who has 20 years experience working in perfumery and with various fragrance powerhouses.

AI Personality Quiz

One of my favourite aspects of the Maison 21G experience is the fun AI personality quiz available on their website, which you can take and let your result show some recommended scents and scent combinations that will suit your personality and the occasions where you would like to wear your scent! Sharing some of my results from the quiz below. :)

Even though I ended up getting a home scent, it was still fun and useful to check out the suggestions for my personality type and I was very interested in reading the provided info about the different scents available on their scent library.

Customised Home Scent

For the home scents, same as the perfumes, they are customisable and you can select 1 or 2 ingredients to be part of your scent, which Maison 21G’s team of scent designers will mix and create for you! Maison 21G also shared with me that their home scents are vegan and contain no phthalates, preservatives, CMR, NGO or parabens and are suitable for use around children and pets.

Personally, I decided to customise and order my scent entirely online, so I did not go down to their boutiques to smell the scents in person. I preferred to do it this way due to my hectic work schedule and because I know that I will never make up my mind if presented with all the wonderful scents in front of me! Please note that if you prefer, you can definitely visit their retail boutiques to smell and customise your scent in person, or even sign up for a perfume creation workshop to tailor-make and mix your scent yourself with guidance from their perfumiers.

My Experience

After looking at the recommendations from the quiz results, going through the scent library and considering the benefits of each scents and my personal preference (I usually prefer something fruity), I decided to pick 2 ingredients and ordered my bergamot and fig home scent!

The home scent comes in a 30ml bottle and costs S$75. It arrived after 2 days and delivery is free within Singapore! They do ship overseas as well, so do check their site to see if it ships to your country and the respective shipping fees. When the package arrived, I realized that the box and the cards within were all scented, and this attention to detail was an added bonus to the whole experience. :)

As for the home scent itself, I’m really happy with it so far, and I like to spritz it 1 to 2 times around the room for a refreshing way to start the day (especially with all the time we spend at home these days!). The scent lasts till late evening or night, from my experience. 

[If you’re interested in getting your own customised product, do apply my discount code citygirlcitystories when you check out for 15% off all products on the website!]

I really enjoyed the whole experience and appreciate the personalised concept and products. Whether you choose the perfumes, home scents or candles, I think they would make a perfect gifting idea, both for yourself or for someone else. :)

Note: My customised home scent was a gift from Maison 21G. This is not a paid post and I am not compensated from the use of the provided discount code. All opinions are my own.

☀️ A day in the life: out of office edition ☀️ 

I've been enjoying browsing "a day in the life" posts shared by others, so I thought I'll share one of my own. :) Here's a day I captured, when I was out of office a few weeks ago for a much needed break. 😌 

🍳 Started the day at my neighbourhood Starbucks, eating a small breakfast and started on a bit of blogging again~ 

📚 Popped over to the bookstore @booksbeyond.borders to donate some books and browse more books & wonderful things! 

🍽 📽Off to a buffet lunch! Stuffed myself happy, then dashed to the cinema @theprojectorsg to catch a screening of Angelina Jolie's <Maria> 

🍵 Walked over to @baristartcoffee_sg inside another bookstore @bookxcess and had grand plans to read my book, but ended up contemplating my career instead. 😆 

That's a day in my life (OOO edition), how do you spend yours?

Before we dive head first into 2025, my sister @wording_art and I spent a spontaneous few days in our (other) favourite city: Hong Kong! 🌟 

After the craziness of 2024, this sister trip felt like a much needed reset. Thanks HK, for letting us live our best lives. 😄✨️ 

Some snapshots here, more to come~

2024 has been full of surprises so far! Mostly in great ways though. 😄 This year has also been one of my busiest ones in recent memory. ☁️ 

In other news, my blog citygirlcitystories.com that I started when I graduated from university turns 10 years old next week! 🥳 Ahh, where does the time go... 😶‍🌫️ Life's demands meant that I took an unexpected hiatus from my blog, but if you'll kindly hope with me, perhaps I could return to it soon! 🍀

(Compiled from three weekends haha, because I have long given up on sharing anything online "on time". 😆)
The first half of 2024 was tiring... in more ways The first half of 2024 was tiring... in more ways than one. Despite that, I had a hard stop in May to take time off, flew across the world and landed in London, a city that has been on my travel list for ages!! 🇬🇧 

A week full of (mostly) British summer weather, incredible art and stunning museums, charming bookshops, the most beautiful libraries, scones and tea, I really enjoyed London! 😊💛 

I hope to catch up with Instagram/blogging soon, which I completely fell off from, and there's stuff from Singapore/Hong Kong/London I'd love to share, but for now, here's two candid photos captured by @wording_art reflecting my happiness on this trip. :) 

🌼 Looks like I'm doing a weird dance but was actually avoiding rain puddles at Kenwood House, one of my favourite places I visited! 

🖼 Visited several of London's wonderful museums and this was at the National Portrait Gallery, where I got to see the famed "Portrait of Mai (Omai)" in person! 🤩 I was following this acquisition story in the news and was especially delighted when I heard that it was on display during my trip. :) 

More soon and here's to the second half of 2024! ✨️🤞
Books are a huge passion in my life and for 2024, Books are a huge passion in my life and for 2024, I plan to try harder to bring more of my book recommendations to my blog! :) For my first rec this year, I'm excited to share "Dearest New York: A Love Letter to New York" by Deirdre Gartner @girlintheyellowtaxinyc 🚕

If you'd like to, I'd be delighted if you check out my review on citygirlcitystories.com As a bonus, I also have a Q&A with the author herself! 🤩 

I'm actually a huge fan of the @girlintheyellowtaxinyc blog and Instagram, so I loved hearing from Deirdre about life in NYC and her experience being a native New Yorker. Do check out the full author interview on my blog! (link in bio) 🍎
