Jean Paul Gaultier sets air ablaze
Get ready to set the air ablaze with Jean Paul Gaultier’s new Le Male Elixir Absolu. A richer version of Le Male Elixir’s signature scent, this lays the ground with hints of spiced fleshy plum, before progressing to long-lasting notes of lavender and tonka bean. It burns with sensuality, and will leave hearts racing and minds reeling before you know it.
Tod’s pays tribute to the excellence of Made in Italy
In celebration of the iconic Gommino, a symbol of timeless elegance, Tod’s has released a coffee table book that pays tribute to the excellence of Made in Italy. In Italian Hands – Artisanal Stories from Italy, Tod’s tells the story of Italy not just through the hands of artisans, but through the faces of figures who have collaborated with these artisans in order to keep tradition alive. Presented on 8 April 2025 during Design Week, the book includes a foreward by Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh, who reflects on the value of craftsmanship as a deep connection between past and future.

Queen of the night
Chaumet revisits the Joséphine Aigrette collection with a new model and a new dial. Tinted a deep radiant blue, the diamond-crusted pear-shaped dial is a fresh expression of the Maison’s signature hue and a nod towards Empress Joséphine’s favourite cut. As a more sophisticated alternative to the everyday version, it embraces the wrist with an elegant, openworked steel bracelet, without the need for buckle or encumbrance.
