Therapeutic Orchids


Style is a way to say who we are without having to speak. Our choice of outfits, hair styles, make up and shoes, all reflects our personality and who we are. The same goes for fragrance. It is an additional invisible accessory that adds the finishing touch to your outfit of the day perfectly. It can play according to your outfit of the day and mood of the day.
Most of us probably buy our fragrances off the shelves. We would spend considerable long a time in perfume shops browsing through different scents to find one that we love and suit us the best.
Have you ever consider creating your own unique scent? No more off the shelves perfumes that could be the same as what others are wearing. Your own unique fragrance crafted by you, for you, according to your own personality. You get your own customized scent that no one else has, and it would suit you completely – the best of both worlds!
Here at Jetaime Perfumery/Perfume Workshop, you can to enjoy this one and only experience. Any interesting aspect of our perfumery is that our selection of ingredients are native orchids of Singapore (our specialty!). You will find lots of interesting types of orchids in our collection.
