Skin’s alive with Sisley’s new serum
The mysterious Black Baccara Rose, harvested for its extraordinary antioxidant properties, once again makes appearance in Sisley’s powerful new serum. The Black Rose Concentrate Radiant Youth Serum, engineered with the potent Black Rose Molecular Extract and powerhouse active ingredients, such as vitamin B12 and sea rockweed extract, combats silent cellular ageing, restoring your skin with a natural radiance it once knew.
Guerlain’s new eye care
As age goes by, the eyes are a delicate thing to care for, with the loss of elasticity quicker than you can imagine. A fast and effective solution to this would be the Guerlain Abeille Royale Youth Repair Eye Care, a high-performance gel-cream that harnesses the extraordinary power of black bee honey. Yours for S$148, this concentrated technology combines a unique blend of “filler-effect” ingredients that pumps the epidermis layers for as many as eight hours, and a patented duo of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acids for an immediately visible plumping effect on fine lines.
Dior brings Sauvage to haircare
It’s not every day you think of the cactus when you’re concerned about hair, though it makes perfect sense, it being one of the few plants capable of surviving in the most arid of conditions. Its full power can be seen in Dior’s Sauvage haircare duo (Hydrating Shampoo and Hair Serum), with its pulp extracted and transformed into a powerful active ingredient to hydrate and nourish, all while perfuming the hair with the ever-popular Sauvage fragrance, just because.
Benetti launches a pair of steel superyachts
After launching the first unit, Symmetry, in January, Benetti has released the second, Dagger, into the water, resulting in a mere three-week gap between the two debuts. Both 1,350 GT yachts, with space for 12 guests and 17 crew, showcase sleek exteriors by RWD, with the British firm responsible for their defining feature: the oasis deck. The aft area is outfitted with an infinity pool and fold-out side wings that open to create a sweeping 270-degree view.
The interiors, on the other hand, can’t be more different. Spearheaded by Reymond Langton Design, the interior of Symmetry is distinguished by a welcoming layout, a palette of pale hues, lacquered metals, and textile artworks. The high level of customisation is evident in pieces like the bespoke chandelier with crystal glass that creates an “ice effect.” Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design took a different approach with the interiors of Dagger, combining a linear layout with natural tones and nine different types of wood. At the request of the art-loving owner, numerous areas have been designed as private galleries with special shelves for sculptures and recesses in the walls for paintings.
