AUGUSTINUS BADER ‘THE ELIXIR’
Augustinus Bader’s latest breakthrough, ‘The Elixir,’ is skincare stripped down to pure innovation. Backed by over three decades of research, this ultra-concentrated serum pairs the brand’s signature Advanced TFC8® technology with an exclusive Phyto-Peptidic Concentrate to deliver high-performance results without a single needle in sight. Inspired by exosome science, its silky, water-free formula sinks in fast, working to lift, firm, and support skin cell health while improving texture and resilience over time. Clean, vegan, and free from parabens, silicones, and synthetic fragrance, it’s a potent dose of science-meets-luxury designed to raise the bar for non-invasive skincare.
CAROLINA HERRERA ‘MYSTERY TOBACCO’ PERFUME
‘Mystery Tobacco,’ Carolina Herrera’s latest fragrance from its ‘Confidential’ range, is a love letter to memory, heritage, and wanderlust. Inspired by the legendary Pepito Herrera—an elegant globetrotter whose stories once filled the halls of La Hacienda La Vega in Caracas—the scent carries the same spirit of adventure he embodied. Fruity sparks of davana and ginger open the composition before giving way to a smoky heart of vetiver and tonka bean, anchored by golden tobacco leaves and the earthy depth of patchouli. The result is a bold, genderless eau de parfum that lingers on the skin.
DIPTYQUE ‘FLEUR DE PEAU’ EAU DE TOILETTE
Diptyque is expanding the story of ‘Fleur de Peau’ with a new Eau de Toilette and a refillable solid perfume, reimagining its cult-favorite fragrance in lighter, more versatile forms. First inspired by the Greek myth of Psyche and Eros, the scent continues to play on contrasts—purity and sensuality, softness and strength—through a blend of white musks, bright mandarin, and pink peppercorn. Powdery iris and magnolia bring a gentle floral nuance, while ambrette seeds add depth, revealing their full character only once on the skin. Available in 100ml and 50ml bottles alongside the new solid perfume, the collection now offers an even broader olfactory wardrobe for those who want their fragrance to travel with them.
DYSON ‘OMEGA’ NOURISHING RANGE
Dyson’s latest haircare launch, the ‘Omega’ Nourishing Range, takes the brand’s tech-meets-beauty philosophy in an unexpected new direction: from farm to formula. Powered by the Dyson Oli7™ blend — a mix of seven omega-rich oils including sunflower oil grown on Dyson’s very own UK farms — the range targets dry, fragile hair with two products: a hydrating hair oil and a multi-tasking leave-in spray. Both are silicone-free, lightweight, and designed to restore shine, smoothness, and strength without build-up. Clinically, the results are impressive: up to 94% stronger hair and 261% more shine with the oil, and up to 73% less breakage with the spray. It’s a future-facing approach to haircare that combines over a decade of hair science with sustainable farming, proving that Dyson’s innovation doesn’t stop at devices.
JEAN PAUL GAULTIER ‘DIVINE ELIXIR’ PERFUME
Jean Paul Gaultier introduces ‘Divine Elixir’, a fragrance built on intensity and confidence. The enthralling composition blends creamy tuberose with the warmth of tonka bean, creating a rich, luminous scent with undeniable presence. More than a perfume, it’s conceived as a statement of femininity, sensuality, and self-assured power.
JUANA ‘SOOTHE’ SKIN BUTTER
Juana’s ‘Soothe’ Skin Butter proves that hydration doesn’t have to mean heaviness. It’s formulated to calm irritation, repair stressed skin, and deliver lasting nourishment without the sticky aftermath of traditional creams. It works to ease inflammation and boosts circulation to reduce redness. Armed with hyaluronic acid, squalane, shea butter, argan oil, and vitamin E, you’ve got a powerhouse blend that restores balance, strengthens the skin barrier, and leaves skin supple and silky. Dermatologist-approved and clinic-recommended, it’s the kind of minimalist luxury that makes recovery feel indulgent.
PRADA BANANA BALM & ‘PARADIGME’ PERFUME
Prada is serving nostalgia with a twist through its latest launch, the Prada Balm in Banana Yellow. Nodding to the brand’s iconic Spring/Summer 2011 banana print, this lip balm translates a runway motif into beauty with playful precision. The vibrant yellow bullet, banana-inspired scent, and golden luster finish make it equal parts fun and sophisticated. First teased with a cheeky drop of Prada Banana candy and spotted in Sabrina Carpenter’s Manchild song video, the balm now officially expands Prada’s growing lip category.
Prada’s new ‘Paradigme’ Eau de Parfum pushes the boundaries of masculine perfumery with a structure as unconventional as its message. Built on a reverse pyramid, the fragrance opens from the base with smoky Peru Balm, benzoin resin, and guaiac wood before unfolding into a green, aromatic heart of dual geranium extracts, lifted by the brightness of Calabrian bergamot and airy musks. The result is a bold ambery woody scent that’s both refined and daring. True to Prada’s commitment to sustainability, the bottle comes in a striking black-to-green gradient with a refillable design that cuts down significantly on glass, plastic, and metal use. More than just a fragrance, ‘Paradigme’ is a statement of individuality and reinvention, and with Tom Holland fronting its campaign, it embodies movement, curiosity, and modern masculinity at its core.
RARE BEAUTY ‘RARE’ EAU DE PARFUM
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez makes its fragrance debut with ‘Rare’ Eau de Parfum, a warm, gourmand scent laced with spice and softness that’s designed to evolve with you from day to night. Opening with indulgent notes of caramel, pistachio, and pink pepper, it melts into a heart of vanilla, ginger, and cocoa before settling into creamy sandalwood, tonka bean, and musk. Crafted in France with responsibly sourced ingredients — from Nigerian ginger to upcycled West African cocoa beans — the fragrance is as layered and thoughtful as its message. True to Rare Beauty’s ethos, it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and even packaged in an ergonomic bottle designed for ease of use, proving that luxury can be inclusive as well as indulgent.
URBAN DECAY ‘GLAZE-ON’ LIQUID EYESHADOWS
Urban Decay is taking shine to the next level with its new 24/7 ‘Glaze-On’ Liquid Eyeshadows’—a high-impact formula that delivers dewy, multidimensional color in just one swipe. Designed with a patented built-in brush and vegan bristles, the shadow applies seamlessly, blends like a dream, and locks in up to 15 hours of smudge-resistant wear. The secret lies in its microfine pearls, which give lids a smooth, wet-look finish without the gritty fallout of traditional glitter. Available in six shimmer and duochrome shades that flatter every skin tone, this lightweight, buildable formula is made to glow.
YSL BEAUTY ‘Y LE PARFUM’
YSL Beauty’s newest launch, ‘Y Le Parfum’, takes the house’s iconic fougère fragrance into darker, hotter territory. Composed by master perfumer Dominique Ropion, this intense interpretation introduces a striking midnight pine accord balanced with fresh bergamot, fiery ginger, and geranium from YSL’s Ourika Gardens, before settling into the depth of fir balsam and patchouli. The result is bold, long-lasting, and undeniably sensual. Fronted by rock legend Lenny Kravitz, ‘Y Le Parfum’ is a statement of modern masculinity: daring, magnetic, and built to own the night.
