ICONS OF BEAUTY FOR A FRESH START

NEW YEAR, NEW ICONS is an invitation to begin the year by reconnecting with ourselves. A curated selection of beauty icons designed to accompany everyday rituals: caring for the skin, subtly enhancing our features, feeling comfortable in our own skin, or simply enjoying a fragrance that makes us feel good. These products celebrate natural beauty, self-care, and that deeply personal sense of well-being that starts from within and radiates outward.

1. CHANEL: ROUGE NOIR CONFIDENCE

The eyes take centre stage with ROUGE NOIR CONFIDENCE, an exclusive creation from CHANEL that combines sophistication with audacity. Mauve-pink, intense magenta, and a hint of pearlescent light blend to sculpt and enhance the eyes with an elegant, enveloping finish. Applied subtly and well-blended, these shades add depth and luminosity, creating a look that is intense yet refined, faithful to the timeless spirit of the maison.

2. LA PRAIRIE: SKIN CAVIAR DAY & NIGHT ARCHITECTS

La Prairie redefines skincare with Skin Caviar Day & Night Architects, a luxurious duo designed to accompany the skin’s natural rhythm throughout day and night. Enriched with innovative Fragmented Caviar PDRN technology, these treatments work to improve firmness, redefine facial contours, and smooth visible signs of aging. Skin Caviar Luxe Cream protects and strengthens the skin during the day, while the Skin Caviar Luxe Sleep Mask, combined with the Nighttime Oil, enhances nocturnal regeneration, revealing skin that appears visibly firmer, nourished, and revitalised upon waking.

3. HERMÈS: PLEIN AIR LUMINOUS MATTE SKINCARE FOUNDATION

Hermès extends its vision of fresh, liberated skin with Plein Air, its first foundation, conceived as a “second skin” that enhances natural beauty without concealing it. With a fluid, comfortable texture, this luminous matte foundation blends seamlessly to even out tone and subtly blur imperfections. Available in 34 shades, from the lightest to the deepest, it suits all skin types and undertones; this selection focuses on shades for darker skin tones, celebrating diversity and the unique identity of every face. Enriched with skincare ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and white mulberry extract, Plein Air combines makeup and skincare for skin that appears more radiant, balanced, and cared-for, day after day.

4. BYREDO: BAL D’AFRIQUE ABSOLU

Bal d’Afrique Absolu by BYREDO is a unisex fragrance that invites a sensory journey between light and depth, inspired by the cultural richness of Africa and Ben Gorham’s creative vision. Vibrant notes of bergamot, lemon, and blackcurrant mingle with the sweetness of praline, musk, and violet, while a base of cedar, vetiver, and black amber provides warmth and lasting character. This perfume celebrates intensity, transformation, and personal strength, while its elegant bottle, with a cap inspired by Yakisugi craftsmanship, reflects BYREDO’s attention to detail and minimalist sophistication. A fragrance for all, enhancing the presence and confidence of its wearer, without labels.

 5. AUGUSTINUS BADER: VITAMIN C SERUM

Give your skin a boost of radiance with this powerful vitamin C serum. Formulated with Ascorbyl Glucoside and the antioxidant Ergothioneine, it helps rapidly reduce dark spots, dullness, and uneven tone while improving firmness and visibly smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Its Oxygenating Extract refines texture, enhances hydration, and protects the skin from visible damage caused by pollution and UVA rays. Thanks to advanced TFC8® technology, this serum optimises cellular communication to accelerate renewal and deliver visible results in less time. The perfect gift for anyone seeking brighter, more even, and healthier-looking skin.

6. DOLCE & GABBANA: THE ONE FOR MEN PARFUM

An intense and sophisticated fragrance that elevates the iconic The One for Men. Black pepper, nutmeg, and Tarocco orange open with a vibrant, spicy burst, while a heart of labdanum, patchouli, and clary sage delivers a woody-aromatic touch full of modernity. At the base, the smoky sweetness of tobacco intertwines with warm vetiver and amber, creating a deep, sensual, and complex scent. Housed in an elegant semi-lacquered amber glass bottle with a glossy black cap, it is the perfect gift for anyone seeking to leave a lasting impression.

With these beauty icons, the new year begins in elegance and self-care. Each selection honours the daily rituals that nourish the skin, awaken the senses, and celebrate individuality. Beyond their sophistication, these products remind us that caring for oneself is both a pleasure and a mark of confidence.
