Charriol also have a range of perfumes/fragrances cater to both women & men. The round bottles on the left is EDT/EDP for women while the classic square on the right is for the gents.
Here's 2 of my favorite: (Left) Show-Off, the latest Eau de Toilette for women by Charriol. It smells fresh, fruity and exuberant blackcurrant, speaks of delicate and elegant with peach velvet. The round and feminine bottle sparkled femininity with its delicate violet hues and precious floral essence of violet absolute, lotus blossom extract and rose petals. (Right) Le Eau De Parfum of sophisticated radiance for an exceptional fragrance. The luxuriant fragrance is rich and indulging, made with its best essence of juniper berry, orange blossom, vanilla orchid and tonka bean. Simply loves the soft woody scent, classic with a modern twist!
Charriol's watch collection consist of several distinct lines with 18kt gold or steel models. They are the Actor, Alexadre, Colvmbvs, Rotonde, St.Tropez and Parisii.

The long awaited Samsung Galaxy S3 has finally arrived! Yes, no more rumors and it is here in Malaysia on 24th May! Courtesy of Samsung Malaysia & Don, I was invited to attend the media launch of SGS3 at One World Hotel. Knock off on time and zoomed to the event, waiting eagerly to be the first to molest S3!
Waiting patiently for merely 2hours outside the ballroom. Was exhausted from work but feeling excited over the third generation of Samsung Galaxy S. Even it was only 5.30pm, media(s) start pumping in, bet they also can't wait to touch & feel the new device hands on!
Upon registering, each of us received a goodie bag press kit, so what we have inside? The S3 device? *in my dream*. We'll move on that later!
Samsung never disappoint their consumer, what's more the media(s)? Media(s) & guests were treated with free flow of soft drinks, beers & canapes/finger food before ushered into the ballroom.
It is about time to get the event started! These gorgeous looking models with silky-like blue dress came out to usher the guests & media(s) into the ballroom. Being a typical kiasu chinese, I walked quickly into the ballroom and chosen a nice seat, right in front of the stage and behind the VIPs.
Upon stepping into the ballroom, I was impressed with the setting. Chairs were coated in white clothe, the stage was awesome with wide, clear and vivid screen, preparing to display the new SGS3! It was a huge event with drape curtains in white along with soft soothing music.
Look at the crowd! Media(s) all prep with their cams to shoot and vid! Pic courtesy: MSN Tech
What's more attractive was the Live Orchestra! Smartphone launching along with Live Orchestra was grand and amazing! Emcee of the night was none other than the elegantly dressed Wan Zaleha.
The third-generation device is not only a smartphone but it is effortlessly smart and intuitively simple. it recognizes your voice, understand your intention and lets you share a moment instantly and easily. Inspired by the nature, S3 made me felt like I'm surrounded with water drops *tranquil & sooth*, having a peaceful moments, as if I'm living in the county farm with an awesome device to stay connected all the time. * mad love*.
Now you get what I mean? Samsung Galaxy S3 knows what human need.
The MD of Samsung Malaysia, Mr.Kwon Jae Hoon introduced us the new device on stage. "Designed to be both effortlessly smart and intuitively simple, the Samsung GALAXY S III has been created with our human needs and capabilities in mind. What makes him proud was the seamless, natural and human-centric mobile experiences, opening up a new horizon that allows one to live a life extraordinary."
Going into detail of the new device, the know-everything-engineer product specialist Ben, was invited on stage to explain and do some live demo sharing key features of the phone. He was funny and humorous, but presented an impressive sharing & demo.
Right after the speech and explanation, VIPs & model(s) went on stage featuring the SGS3 and have a group shot. Almost all the media(s) went in front of the stage and *snap snap snap*. Look at all the hands and cameras. *wink*
The excitement of getting in touch with the new device leveled up! Guests & media(s) will be ushered to another room through a long drape soft white curtain *feels like in wonderland*. Actually everyone was worried unable to molest the device as there are too many attendees. Again, Samsung Malaysia simply awesome. There were actually a room filled with sufficient S3 device on display to be molested by all attendees!
Blue-ocean-like setting made me feel like I'm swimming in the ocean searching for... Ok, look! Samsung Galaxy S III, available in Pebble Blue & Marble White! Inspired by nature, thus the elements of wind, water and light are all evoked in the physical construct of the SGS3. The minimal organic design identity is reflected in the smooth and non-linear lines of the device.
Flip cover for S3 also on display, available in blue and white!
Being a typical iPhone users for 2years+, I am a total android noobie but I guess I still can handle android smartphone well. Finally, managed to have a short affair with this new device. It was surprisingly light in weight at only 133grams! Shiok-ness to the max experiencing a vivid view on the 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED display!
Being a typical multitask person at work, I hope I can multitask with my phone too! Samsung Galaxy S III did it! Can't wait to get the review unit and play with it day & night! Gotta explore the new device and learn to be an android user. To those who are impatiently waiting for the release, consumer launch will be coming on your way next week! Am also impatient because I wanna get one too!
