PERFUMERY:

Perfume is the perfect sentimental gift. It is a gift with an emotional dimension. Giving a person a perfume is telling them that you have thought long and hard about what they might want.

Here is our selection of perfumers:

BASTILLE PARIS: Created in Paris in 2019, Bastille is a perfume house that quickly made a name for itself by breaking free from the codes of traditional perfumery. Bastille creates superb mixed perfumes with 95% natural ingredients, 5% clean synthetic ingredients, and above all total transparency on the ingredients. Proud to wear the colors of French perfumery, the perfumes are created in Paris, manufactured in Grasse and bottled in Chartres. For Bastille Paris, perfumery must be "liberated, clean, and even entertaining"

BYREDO : Founded in 2006 in Stockholm by Ben Gorham, Byredo transcribes memories and emotions through products and experiences. Byredo rethinks the world of luxury with a new approach, where creation abandons itself to emotions, to reveal a comprehensive brand with infinite potential. Byredo fragrances are charged with meaning and inspiration. They are made with the highest quality materials, adorned with cutting-edge design details to nourish a revisited vision of contemporary luxury.

COSMETICS:

Today more than ever, it is essential to take care of yourself, your skin and your body. That is why we have selected cosmetic brands that share the same approach to beauty as we do: aesthetics, of course, but also well-being and health.

ABSOLUTION : After working for many years for cosmetics and perfume brands, Isabelle Carron felt that something was missing: a certain sensitivity, a lot of sincerity, more demanding, an aesthetic that goes beyond the codes.

With her experience and passion for botany, Isabelle Carron created Absolution in 2009. Since then, Absolution has offered a different approach to beauty to all those for whom Quality, Efficiency, Honesty, Ecology and Creativity are not marketing concepts. Absolution's goal is both simple and wonderfully complex: to rediscover Natural Beauty! That of the world around us, that of the world we contain... that which sometimes hides in your reflection in the morning.

PRESCRIPTION LAB : Through a beauty box to receive each month, Prescription Lab guides women in their beauty routine by combining: effective products, pleasure of cosmetic uses and affordable prices.

Prescription Lab has built with common sense, love and simplicity a brand that offers the balance between: natural active ingredients that respect the skin, pleasurable galenics and an effective result to create your ideal shelf.

Beauty boxing puts science at the service of nature to develop effective formulas with the right composition and no unnecessary components.

Prescription Lab gives women the confidence to reveal themselves month after month, season after season.

SEASONLY: Seasonly was born from the desire to change the way women take care of their skin. Advocates of fresh and real, Seasonly has created simple, clean products, to use with your eyes closed, without three-foot-long routines. Products for real women in real life, which only give what is good, natural and effective to finally REALLY respect your skin. A “clean” beauty is a beauty that has found the right balance between science, nature and pleasure. Through shared themes and rituals, Seasonly highlights real-life women.

ODEN: Passionate about Beauty and Botany, Marion, the founder, notices that brands do not use French ingredients in their cosmetic care. However, French nature is full of interesting plants. So she decides to go and visit French farmers from each region to take stock of cultures with an interest in beauty and health.

In 2017, Marion launched, with the help of her mother Laurence, an agricultural engineer, a range of seven rare vegetable oils. The raw materials for Huiles Oden are thus cultivated and picked in France by passionate farmers, and the oils are pressed according to demand, which guarantees exceptional freshness.

SUNDAY RILEY: Unapologetically positive Sunday Riley makes the impossible possible!

A pioneer in Green Technology, Sunday Riley is the perfect union of advanced ingredients and purified botanicals. Sunday Riley prides itself on creating real, visible changes in the appearance of skin through a wide range of active ingredients. Formulas are science-based, research-backed, and botanically balanced.

SVR cosmetics:

They bring confidence and pleasure in high doses.

The Accessory holds a real strength, an implacable efficiency. D'Estrée accessories are high-end and unique pieces with hybrid, graphic, refined and colorful wears, with deep artistic inspirations.

Poinçon 22 : Women are at the heart of Poinçon 22 jewelry, so it is no coincidence that customers are one of the designer's favorite sources of inspiration.

Jewelry creations made of diverse and timeless influences that claim a strong and unique character. Poiçon 22 jewelry immortalizes the strong moments and weaves the bonds of life.

AnneLise Michelson : The Parisian designer of South African origin immediately positions herself as a free spirit in the highly codified world of high-end jewelry. Her pieces are couture, glamorous, sculptural... An artist above all, she designs her pieces as objects full of beauty and meaning, bearers of strength and channels of self-confidence. Her jewelry is not "accessory", it is made to dress the person who wears it, it is central. The designs and volumes are made to be seen.

Gamme Blanche : Gamme blanche is a creative jewelry brand with a clean and graphic line, built around the idea that the finesse of materials combined with the purity of design are the keys to timelessness.

These are "cosmetic sweaters": when they are worn, no need for makeup (#nomakeup #nofilter #justasweater!). The sweaters are knitted with the best cashmere, wool, and Egyptian organic cotton yarns. Alexandra Golvanoff's concern is to offer clothes that are made to last, and that, year after year, will be as beautiful, soft and comfortable as the first day, or even more so since they will be yours.

Côme Éditions : Côme Éditions is a women's ready-to-wear brand created in 2015 by Clémence and Matthieu Dru, brother and sister.

Côme Éditions plays on the mix of styles, masculine-feminine, two-tone and reversible models, patchworks of fabrics and prints... These contrasts give character to the product, both poetic and graphic, distinctive and timeless.

Crimson Cashmere: When former model, designer and fashion guru Linda Wright took the helm of Crimson in 2004, she added a new dimension to Crimson's renowned quality by adjusting sizing and detailing to better meet the needs of her discerning customers.

Passion is at the heart of Crimson Cashmere; a combination of Linda’s love affair with Paris and the world of fashion. Constantly exposed to fashion trends and changing designs, Linda recognized the timelessness of knitwear, combined with its essential and sensual quality. “I love the way it takes the shape and curves of the body. It’s soft, sensual and sexy – and it feels good. And the range of colors is endless.” The result is a concise collection of modern, sophisticated and sumptuous pieces for discerning men and women.
