Hot brand Bench and Dubai-based Filipino designer Furne Onè collaborated in creating three unforgettable scents for the brand’s Designer Scent Collection, the Unholy eau de toilette and the oxymoron scents—Beautiful Boy eau de toilette and Handsome Girl eau de toilette.
Unholy is a unisex scent, in a red, glass flask, smelling of mandarin, rose and musk.
Beautiful Boy is for men; it’s a delightful concoction of grapefruit, neroli, bergamot, cardamon, pepper, rosewood, iris and musk.
GORGEOUS designs by Furne Onè
Handsome Girl is a floral and fruity cocktail blend of yummy apple, melon, lemon, orange, frangipani, cedar wood, amber and musk, palanggas.
The scent collection was launched in a fashion show at the Peninsula Manila’s Rigodon Ballroom: 42 awesome designs were displayed. Shoes were by another local designer, Nereku.
Tall Raina Hein of the 14th edition of “America’s Next Top Model” closed the show and walked down the ramp with designer Furne Onè and Ben Chan, who took their well-deserved bow, natch!
Après that, the invitees walked to the gallery area where photographs of Furne Onè’s eye-popping gowns worn by namedroppables Natasha Bedingfield, Katy Perry, Shakira, Neon Hitch and Heidi Klum were displayed.
Bench has truly hit another milestone. Furne Onè is, after all, one of the most sought-after designers today. From his humble beginnings in Cebu, to his apprenticeship with Josie Natori, his Dubai shop, his appearance in “Germany’s Next Top Model” with Heidi Klum, and several awards from Manille and Japan, Furne Onè has come a long way. Now he’s collaborating with no less than Bench, dahlings.
