Teazzurra reinvents the timeless theme of freshness

Experiencing the relaxing yet invigorating spirit of green tea with a note of sparkling citrus fruit.

Guerlain new Aqua Allegoria fragrance

Each year, French perfume house Guerlain reinvents the timeless theme of freshness with a new Aqua Allegoria fragrance. Delicate and cheerful fragrances that represent sweet and happy moments. Each spring, a new limited-edition Aqua Allegoria joins the four legendary permanent creations.

This year’s cheerful scent designed as an ode to green tea is Guerlain Teazzurra Eau de Toilette. The sparkling floral citrus composition will revive and awaken your spirit just as azure waters do. The green tea accord are enhanced with jasmine & bergamot, two essences that, when paired with tea, beautifully heighten its aroma.

“In the Aqua Allegoria collection, I sense the world of a gardener perfumer, of a collector of scents, of nature that has been tamed with an artistic touch and enormous respect, of seasonal life. I would also add the words Poetry and Freedom,” ” explains Thierry Wasser, Perfumer of La Maison Guerlain.

A landscape of absolute serenity takes shape around the new Teazzura. The grace of a hanging garden with foliage strewn with jasmine. The crystalline clarity of a lake with azure-coloured water.

Intelligent horological tools are the new concern of the Swiss luxury watch manufacturers. IWC Schaffhausen‘s new device called IWC Connect gives wearers control over certain devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) and provide fully fledged activity tracking.

Engineered to be integrated into the straps of IWC sports watches, beginning with the Big Pilot’s Watches, the IWC Connect not only tracks the wearer’s activities, but also allows them to interact with connected devices in their environment (IoT).

The idea behind this new innovation is to enable owners of IWC timepieces to control their connected environment directly from the wrist while also maintaining the integrity of a handcrafted mechanical timepiece.

“Seeing that many of our customers and brand ambassadors are wearing connected devices alongside their IWC watches, we chose to work with a like-minded digital technology company to develop an elegant, aesthetically complementary solution that eliminates the need to have additional devices on the opposing wrist to your IWC,” explained Georges Kern, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen. “But, and this is essential, we do not touch our beautiful watches – an ‘IWC’ stays a mechanical handcrafted timepiece. We’ve engineered an intelligent design solution which perfectly integrates and underlines our product worlds.”

Further information and the launch date will be available in the coming months, announced the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer.

“The modern woman is empowered and the hairstyle is an essential part of her identity”.
Iconic hair looks by master hairstylist Luigi Murenu: a curated collection of 10 Hair Looks.

Women change their hair like they change their clothes, and no longer let one style define them. These women crave both empowerment and the right tool kit. The modern woman wants her hair to look sophisticated yet effortless. And, it’s no secret that even the simplest styles take the right technique and the right products. Master hairstylist Luigi Murenu reimagined and reinterpreted for luxury haircare brand Kerastase Paris a collection 10 Iconic Hair Looks. To design each look, Murenu drew inspiration from looking at the styles that are most iconic to women’s beauty – those that are timeless yet have a modern twist – such as waves, chignons, braids and ponytails.

“The modern woman is empowered and the hairstyle is an essential part of her identity,” explained Murenu. “Some women opt for a signature style that forms an integral part of their persona, as much as a signature fragrance does. For others, they opt to have a changeable approach that fluctuates depending on the occasion and audience they are with.”

To bring Kerastase’s Visions of Style looks to life, the brand enlisted fashion models Cameron Russell and Hye Park to serves as muses for Luigi Murenu.

Here are the 10 Iconic Looks:
