I'm a Fashion and Fragrance Specialist—the fragrance I consistently choose for day-to-night wear.

I'm a Fashion and Fragrance Specialist—the fragrance I consistently choose for day-to-night wear.

      The Lineup is a monthly series offering an exclusive glimpse into the beauty selections of top experts and trendsetters in the industry. Prepare for a behind-the-scenes look at the essential products that keep their lives vibrant. Scents—especially perfumes for beauty aficionados—are deeply connected to memories. For me, soft, powdery florals transport me back to my teenage years; rich amber gourmands remind me of urban nights; and salty coconut fragrances evoke golden hour at the beach. Chriselle Lim, co-owner and creative director at Phlur, understands this intrinsic bond intimately. "The right scent can encapsulate a mood, memory, or feeling like nothing else can," she says. "My appreciation for fragrance grew over time as I recognized its transformative power and how a perfect scent can change your energy, empower you, or take you back to a specific moment."

      For Lim, fragrance has always been about telling stories and expressing oneself, even aiding her in healing and connecting with others during a tough period in her life. "I got involved with Phlur while going through my divorce," she shares. "This experience inspired Phlur's initial fragrance, Missing Person ($99). I aimed to encapsulate the lingering scent of a loved one in a skin fragrance, which quickly gained popularity among those who related to that sense of longing." She transformed universally shared experiences—like recovering from a breakup—into unique scents that allowed Phlur to develop a devoted and engaged community.

      However, the impact of a good fragrance extends beyond that. "I've always regarded fragrance as the invisible accessory that completes your outfit," Lim remarks. "It can be a means of self-expression or set the tone for an outfit. I encourage people to create their own fragrance wardrobe and layer different scents to develop something truly personal and customizable."

      Next, I had to ask Lim which fragrance she uses daily. "I can't choose just one, but I always find myself reaching for Father Figure ($99)," she says. "It's such a unique, lush, yet crisp green fragrance that enhances any outfit. I frequently change my scents but always come back to it. It's my ideal day-to-night fragrance." Lim noted that selecting her top 20 products across skincare, bodycare, makeup, and haircare categories was also quite challenging, but she successfully narrowed it down for Who What Wear readers.

      Age-R Booster Pro

      "I require skincare tools that fit my busy lifestyle, and this one is just perfect. It's straightforward to use, and the results are visible—my skin appears healthier, smoother, and more radiant with minimal effort. It has truly become one of my essential skincare items."

      "This is undeniably the fastest-acting skincare product I've ever experienced. Unlike other retinoids, this one delivers powerful yet gentle results, providing genuine anti-aging benefits without irritation. If you’ve been hesitant about retinol, this is a total game changer."

      Qure Skincare

      Q-Rejuvalight Pro Facewear

      "I've tested numerous LED masks, but this one surpasses them all—it's clinically superior, highly effective, and requires only three minutes daily to see results. My skin has never been happier!"

      "This is essentially botox in a bottle—expression lines soften in 10 minutes, and deeper wrinkles diminish within weeks. If retinol is too harsh for you, this is a fantastic alternative that genuinely yields results without the fuss."

      Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil Serum

      "Despite the name, this doesn’t feel like an oil at all—it’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated. It provides a glow that suggests I’ve had
