Chanel’s New Fragrance & Beauty Boutique
In Greenbelt 5 in Makati, Chanel opened its new fragrance and beauty boutique last month, featuring makeup, fragrance, skincare, and exclusive in-botique experiences. Of these exclusive experiences, guests were invited to discover their own fragrance through Chanel’s fragrance wardrobe, which includes Lex Exlusifs De Chanel, a collection that celebrates various chapters of Mademoiselle Chanel’s life.
As for makeup, Chanel invited guests to a personalized experience, offering consultations and makeup tips from the House’s beauty consultants and makeup artists. A skincare wall is also available in the boutique, allowing visitors to peruse Chanel’s complete range of offerings, including the Sublimage collection.
Lastly, the new boutique is also the launch of Chanel Prive, the first Chanel spa in the Philippines. The spa features two skincare cabins where guests can indulge in services by Chanel’s in-house skincare therapist.
Dior Prestige La Micro-Huile de Rose
In 2017, Dior introduced a form of “micronutritive supplement” for the skin, a formula that provides nutrients that help repair and revitalize the skin. For La Micro-Huile de Rose, Dior uses the Rose de Granville, which has a high concentration of micronutrients, especially omegas that are essential in nourishing and repairing skin. In this product, Dior Science concentrated the micronutrients from the Rose de Granville into a “Nutri-Rosapeptide,” which is said to enhance the formula.
Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle’s Red Gallery in Asia
Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle introduced Asia’s first Red Gallery, celebrating its history in perfumery and creative approach at a special event. The gallery includes vignettes outlining the brand’s journey, a pyramid of scent families and profiles, and a display of fragrances by notable perfumers such as Dominique Ropion and Jean-Claude Ellena, alongside a recent collaboration with Acne Studios.
Trait d’Hermès Makeup Collection
“When we apply color to our faces—to the eyes or anywhere else—we are, above all, accepting an invitation to show our feelings, our state of mind and especially our emotions,” says Gregoris Pyrrpylis, creative director of Hermès Beauty. With this in mind, Hermès launched its Trait d’Hermès collection last month, a selection of forty shades for the eyes and lips in the form of pencils.
The collection is composed of twenty-four eye pencils and sixteen for the lips, as well as an eyeliner, pencil sharpener, and the latest addition to Les Pinceaux Hermès, the L’estompeur de précision brush. “The Hermès color palette is boundless, offering variations that extend to the very limits of the visible,” says Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Hermès’ artistic director.
For the eyes, classic shades of Noir Fusain, Brun Bistre, and Bleu Nuit are combined with striking colors such as Vert Malachite, Bleuet, and Violet Indigo in a water-resistant formula that is gentle to sensitive eyes. As for the lips, the sixteen shades include Rouge Érable and Beige Thé, made with a precision pencil tip for easy application. Available in the Encre Noire shade, the eyeliner is made with a water-resistant, quick-drying, and long-wear formula.
The pencil sharpener features a magnetic closure and a small shavings reservoir, available in three two-tone versions: Noir Fusain, Rouge H, and Vert Vérone. Lastly, the Le’estompeur de précision brush is made with a lacquered wooden handle encircled by a green band and bristles that are a blend of natural and synthetic fibers.
Lacoste Original Eau de Parfum
Together with global fragrance company Interparfums, Lacoste launches the new Lacoste Original Eau de Parfum, a contemporary remake of the original 1984 fragrance of the same name., which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. “As a brand, Lacoste combines timeless freshness with creative frenzy. The idea behind this sophisticated fragrance is to express movement in all its forms in a unique, powerful creation,” says perfumer Anne Flipo, who created the remake with Tanguy Guesnet.
In the Philippines, the arrival of the fragrance was celebrated with an immersive experience hosted by Rustan Marketing Corporation. The event offered an interactive “fragrance discovery” experience, where guests were provided with a guided introduction to the Lacoste Original Eau de Parfum. Additionally, an “Original Cinema” display premiered the Lacoste Original campaign visuals in the Philippines, featuring the brand’s master perfumers and ambassadors.
