Root Awakening
Chloé’s limited-edition Cedrus is a new take on wood. Perfumer Quentin Bisch redefines the classic fragrance, wrapping it in the warmth of creamy sandalwood and a bright pop of pink peppercorn. The result? Cedar that feels less like a log cabin and more like a luxurious cashmere scarf.

Shine Shield
Your make-up’s new bodyguard has arrived. Charlotte Tilbury’s matte setting spray primes, blurs, and locks in your look for a long-wearing 16 hours. Powered by pore-tightening and oil-absorbing technology, it controls shine, resets texture, and defends against meltdowns – all in a light-as-air veil.

Button Up
This limited-edition palette– inspired by Chanel’s iconic buttons – serves four luxurious, texture-rich shades: think velvety plum, warming beige, decadent oxblood, and a luminous metallic taupe. Housed in a collectible sleeve, it’s less make-up, more wearable heritage.

Sweet Dreams
Laneige’s cult lip mask just got a delicious upgrade. This edition stacks three dessert-inspired flavours: vanilla cake, strawberry cream, and zesty berries – all while delivering the same overnight magic. Enriched with shea butter and vitamin C, it melts onto lips to exfoliate, nourish, and seal in moisture for an irresistibly sweet and supple pout.

Dessert-inspired and heritage-infused, this bronzer is a sweet treat for your skin – melting on like warm butter. Packed with camellia oil and shea butter, it serves up a healthy, sun-kissed glow with a soft-focus finish. Six deliciously versatile shades ensure everyone gets a taste of the perfect, all-day warmth.

Mane Event
Say goodbye to stringy strands. L’Occitane’s zesty serum is a scalp superhero, powered by rosemary and liquorice to block breakage and boost growth. It’s light, fast-absorbing, and fights fallout, giving you the thicker, stronger hair you’ve always wanted. Consider every drop a step toward your fullest, most vibrant mane.

Desert Dew
Inspired by the first rain in the desert, this hydra-jelly mist is a burst of renewal. Blending treasured regional ingredients like rosewater and frankincense with hyaluronic acid, it locks in moisture and soothes skin with a fine, lightweight veil. Wear it over make-up, as a primer, or for a moment of pure, radiant refreshment.

Lid Lock
Mario’s signature eye, simplified. This weightless cream shadow glides on to deliver a softly diffused, crease-proof matte finish that defies sweat and humidity. Available in 10 versatile shades, it layers, sculpts, or acts as the perfect base – all with amino acids and spherical powders for seamless, all-day wear.
