An assortment of unique gifts that are sweeter than any chocolate bar

Drunk Elephant

Joining the brand’s range of moisturisers as its thickest and richest formula yet, the new Bora Barrier Repair Cream harnesses the power of 6-butter lipid complex to encourage the natural production of collagen, lipids and hyaluronic acid, as well as soothe and strengthen the skin barrier. Redness-reducing zinc and copper salt minerals provide antioxidants. Alpha glucan – derived from rice – rounds out the formula, offering a boost of extra hydration. Keeping with its “Suspicious 6” philosophy, the cream is free of essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrances/dyes, and sulfates, as well as vegan and cruelty-free.

Armani Beauty

The talented perfumers at house Giorgio Armani have released a refined duo of fragrances, comprising the latest additions to their Armani/Privé Couture Fragrances collection: Blanc Kogane and Noir Cogane. Respectively crafted in ivory and deep black tones, each flacon is adorned with gold patterns as a tribute to the ancestral Japanese art of Kintsugi. Contrasting yet complementary, the two fragrances make a compelling scent pairing. Blanc Kogane is a luminous, addictive, and deconstructed musk scent, shaped around precious white jasmine notes. Noir Kogane, meanwhile, is a woody and leathery vetiver fragrance, enhanced by warm and spicy saffron notes.

Burberry Beauty

Burberry Beauty’s new Burberry Eye Quad combines four complementing colours, inspired by heritage Burberry colours, in matte, satin and shimmer finishes, to create customisable looks from natural and soft to intense and dramatic. Effortlessly blendable and buildable, the powders offer up to eight hours of flawless, smudge-proof wear. The Burberry beige and gold compact case includes a mirror and a double-ended applicator for precise, multi-effect looks. The inner grid is removable after use to keep a perfect mirror compact. The palettes are available in four variations: Iconic Honey, Dusty Caramel, Blush Beige, and Midnight.

Tom Ford Beauty

Tom Ford captures vanilla, one of the most sought-after ingredients in modern perfumery, in its purest form in its new Private Blend Vanilla Parfum. An exquisite ultravanil accord bonds to vanilla’s leathery qualities for an exhilarating spiciness, enhanced by the presence of jasmine, sandalwood and orris notes.

Evoking vanilla’s alter ego, the beguiling Vanille Fatale has been updated with a new two-layer bottle design that combines a vanilla hue with deep chocolate brown, reflecting its dark, carnal character.

Sleek and discreet, the new Slim Lip Color Shine takes a stance of undiluted, vivid glamour in a covetable, stiletto-slim case. It’s formulated with a combination of waxes and rich emollients for a thin, silky film of high-coverage colour. Choose from ten shades – eight new and two iconic – that embody the eternal polish of the Tom Ford runway.

Guerlain

Each year, come spring, the Japanese gather to admire the sakuras in bloom. A poetic ritual that Guerlain now celebrates yearly with an exceptional, limited and numbered edition of their iconic floral fragrance, Cherry Blossom. For its 2024 Millésime, Guerlain has partnered with the French jeweller Philippe Ferrandis, who enhances the emblematic bee bottle with a ring decorated with two Sakura flowers enamelled in pale pink, finely gilded in 24-carat gold, and set off with sparkling crystals. A real declaration of love, the ring can also be worn as an item of jewellery. The perfect embrace between fragrance and jewellery, brought together in the same piece.
