| Description: | Married to Mr. Jeffrey Stone at the time, Christina Balsara began her creative profession by composing and executing a complex idea, an island for party – “sarong Island” that quickly became the ideal destination for food and entertainment in Singapore. As life took a different turn and she had to let go of this beautiful island. Letting go of her brain child and her creation wasn't easy and it made her sad. To perk up her spirits, she decided to take a museum trip. During this journey, Christina left Singapore for multiple museum visits and ceramic appreciation trips. While there, she had an internal awakening, realizing that her true calling in life was to create Singaporean scents. Christina came back to Singapore and invented the Singapore Girl perfume. Shortly after she went full force into the perfume line, and Perfumes of Orient was born. It did not take long for her fragrance to become popular. In fact, in the early 1970s, Perfumes of Orient and another massive perfume business called Perfumes of Singapore, owned by her soon to be next husband, Mr. Dadi Balsara, merged to become Perfumes of Singapore Pte Ltd. |
