Chloé Parfums - Le Nectar

You will be surprised how pop-ups can convert attendees to buyers. After my last trip to the House of Atelier des Fleurs (which was drop-dead gorgeous), I decided to attend this as well. You can read about my review here.  Unlike the last round, there was a lot more activities like a photobooth, introduction to the fragrances, but no free vials, unless you made purchases. There was also a Charms Bar, available with purchase. 

Personally, I thought the deals were pretty good, though pushing more for the sales of Le Nectar. There was no queue and I came on time. Appetite Record Lounge is a shophouse and was pretty narrow.  I completed the whole "tour" within half an hour. Most of the time was spent on trying to get the best deal for the different combinations available. 


Le Nectar has a really sweet scent and I do love it. In the end, I sway back to my old favourite, simply because it was slightly cheaper and I am more familiar with the scent. Plus, my little girl is obsessed with it. Here's my haul. 

Honestly, I still can't figure out if pop-ups provide the best deals, but they do throw in fancy  and good-quality freebies. It is only until 20 Sep, register here! Next round, I hope they do launch some sample fragrance packs. 3 of 30ml bottles, maybe?

Experience Connor's - Chye Seng Huat Style


Not everyone in our family loves drinking and the drinkers have always wondered how can we stay inclusive in my family gatherings, haha. Lucky for us Connor's has solved our little issue with a limited partnership with Chye Seng Huat Hardware (cafe, not hardware store) to incorporate Connor's directly into dishes and desserts. 

Beautifully decorated with Connor's colours, it brought back my drinking experiences overseas. If you love retro, Chye Seng Huat Hardware preserved its hardware shop roots and the industrial design. It definitely allowed me to soak in the vibe while enjoying my pint. 


Developed by Christina Ee, Head Chef at Chye Seng Huat Hardware, you need to check out the limited-time creations. Each dish draw directly from Connor’s flavour profile, using stout in a different way:
  • The Connor’s Grill (S$12++): Chicken lovers will enjoy it paired with a creamy Connor’s stout-infused mayo. The stout is gently roasted and the earthy bitterness cuts through the richness of the sauce. 

  • The Stout Stack (S$30++):  A juicy wagyu beef is topped with slow-caramelised onions infused with Connor’s Stout Porter, a sunny-side-up egg, fresh tomato and crisp lettuce, completed with fries. Very yummy

  • The Connor’s Affogato (S$9.20++): Not to be missed, this is our absolute favourite. We would never imagined that the combination of espresso, vanilla ice cream and Connor’s Stout Porter would come so smoothly together. If you have a sharp tastebuds, you will taste the gentle carmel and chocolate notes of the stout. 

Beyond the food, we can also buy something home. There is a cute selection of Connor’s T-shirts, tote
bags, mugs and collectible pins available for purchase while stocks last. To sweeten the deal, every main purchased at Chye Seng Huat Hardware from Monday to Friday, 6PM onwards, will also come with a complimentary half pint (250ml) of Connor’s. Those looking to raise a full pint can enjoy Connor’s at S$10++ during happy hour, available daily from 6PM to 9PM (usual price S$15++).

The fun just doesn't stop. Activities to look out for include:
  • Sip, spin and win: Purchase two full pints of Connor’s in a single receipt to receive a sure-win spin at the Connor’s gachapon to win exclusive merchandise up
  • Complimentary photos and stickers are also available as keepsakes.
  • Complete the word search, snap a photo and tag @connorssingapore and @cshhcoffee on Instagram for a chance to win a carton of Connor’s, with one winner selected each week

Drinkers / Non-Drinkers - this is a great chance to experience stout differently. The collaboration between Connor's and Chye Seng Huat Hardware is only available from now till 1 November 2026. We are definitely heading back soon, this time with a bigger group of extended family. Fun is always doubled when there is something for everyone <3
