Perfume martinis in collaboration with BOROM and Bombay Sapphire at The St. Regis Bar

Until 31 July

Do you like a good martini? That was a trick question — everybody does. Beverage Manager Ivan Zabolotnyi has joined hands with Bombay Sapphire to make sure you enjoy the violet hours in the best way possible. Each creation is centred around a specific scent by Thai fragrant brand BOROM, and you’ll get a sample size with every order. We’d say order them all, but be sure to try the “Red Velvet” made with chocolate and praline, as well as the “Japanese Cotton” blending notes of jasmine, orange blossom, and oolong cold brew.
