A multi-category journey of discovery

Customers can discover a range of Dior icons from fragrance to beauty.

The fragrance line-up features scents from in-house perfumer Francis Kurkdjian plus house classics such as J’adore and Miss Dior alongside signature men’s perfumes including Sauvage.

Customers are invited to have their bottles personalised with what Dior described as the most premium engraving service that exists today.

The makeup counter offers a glimpse into the workings of Dior beauty maestro and Creative and Image Director of Makeup Peter Philips, featuring a range of his creations and house icons such as Rouge Dior and Dior Forever.

The Dior Addict lipstick, a recent launch dubbed as “the icon for extreme shine”, is designed as a fashion accessory, Dior noted. It begins a new chapter in the Dior story, the brand added, offering four new couture cases inspired by the house’s fashion creations.

Each of the cases is adorned with the deconstructed Dior oblique logo on the side. Among the four limited-edition cases, the burgundy oblique version with its design inspired by Dior’s canvas expertise is available exclusively at the boutique.

In addition to providing the latest makeup trends and techniques, Dior beauty consultants are on hand to share their extensive know-how and personalised makeup tips.

Skincare exclusives on offer

Dior skincare enjoys its own space within the boutique, a dedicated zone that offers an extensive collection including Dior Prestige, Capture Totale and what the house described as the epitome of Dior luxury skincare, L’Or de vie. Several Dior skincare travel exclusives are highlighted.

The boutique is designed to offer an elevated premium skincare experience, notable for a dedicated alcove, including personalised consultation and treatment spaces offering an array of Dior beauty services.

La Collection Privée Christian Dior

The boutique also houses La Collection Privée Christian Dior fragrances, candles and soaps.

Described as “a luxurious Dior universe entirely dedicated to the love of perfume, an olfactive lifestyle, and the art of gifting by Dior” the La Collection Privée flagship displays the newest retail design concept – “more luxurious, warm and generous.”

It offers an extensive collection of fragrances, candles, soaps and body creams, for perfuming, each celebrating a contemporary French art de vivre (art of living).

Fragrance highlights include Lucky, the fragrance of good luck, echoing the history between the house of Dior and Lily of the Valley. ✈
