USHERING in Autumn with a touch of tenderness and quiet sophistication, Narciso Rodriguez has just launched a captivating new sparkling scent.

Titled NARCISO eau de parfum radiante, the new fragrance has been carefully formulated to “create an impression of cotton or white cashmere caressing a woman’s skin”.

NARCISO Eau de Parfum radiante

Expertly crafted by perfumer Aurélien Guichard, who comes from a distinguished line of seven generations of perfumers, NARCISO eau de parfum radiante taps into the signature woody notes of the NARCISO collection, while shining a light on the subtle, warm undertones of musk that linger gracefully.

As such, the Eau de Parfum comes to life with a delicate mélange of lily of the valley, clove blossom, white vetiver, Virginian cedar, and clean musks, blending effortlessly for an elegant finish.

Designed to impart a clean, fresh scent, the NARCISO eau de parfum radiante captures the modern femininity and sensuality of a Narciso Rodriguez woman.  

by Sophie Richardson

A 90ml bottle of NARCISO eau de parfum retails for £120 and can be bought exclusively at John Lewis. For further information, please visit here.

CHARLOTTE Tilbury has named Celine Dion as the face of her 2025 holiday campaign, titled Planet Star Confidence. The film centres on Celine performing her song I’m Alive on a dreamlike stage that captures Charlotte’s signature sense of theatre, alongside Jourdan Dunn, Quenlin Blackwell and Bella Tilbury.

Celine’s recent return to the spotlight at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she performed Hymne à L’amour wearing Charlotte Tilbury makeup by Sofia Tilbury, inspired the campaign’s message of resilience and renewal.

Celine Dion and Charlotte Tilbury

Charlotte Tilbury MBE says: “Darlings, I am so thrilled to reveal none other than the legendary Celine Dion as the star of my new holiday campaign, we are making everyone’s wishes come true. Whether through the power of music or makeup, Celine and I share the same mission: to spread joy, star confidence, love and inspiration to the world.”

Celine adds, “I’m honoured to join my dear friend Charlotte for this magical holiday campaign. I’ve always believed music and beauty can uplift and inspire confidence. Having my song I’m Alive as the soundtrack felt like a true celebration of resilience and joy. I hope this campaign reminds everyone that confidence is the greatest gift you can give yourself, because when you feel alive and empowered, anything is possible.”

Charlotte Tilbury Holiday 2025 Campaign

The accompanying Magic Gifting Universe features Charlotte’s best-loved products and new releases, including the Beauty Treasure Chest advent calendar, the Star Confidence fragrance, and the Hollywood Instant Look in a Palette in two shades, Pretty Glowing Beauty and Dreamy Bronzed Beauty. The packaging follows a celestial theme with constellation motifs and keepsake designs, continuing the brand’s signature mix of fantasy and luxury.

FOR OVER a decade and half, Natalie Portman has been the beating heart of Miss Dior leading its evolution as its ambassador. Through countless iterations of the iconic fragrance, the American actor’s presence has remained constant: radiant, intelligent and effortlessly feminine.

Now, with the arrival of Miss Dior Essence, a new chapter unfolds in its story. This new creation reimagines the House’s most beloved floral signature through a lens of intimacy and purity. At its heart lies a sensual jasmine sambac while an opening accord of blackberry and elderflower adds a gourmand sweetness that feels both indulgent and fresh. Below it, a dense, enveloping woody oak base grounds the fragrance lending depth and warmth to the overall composition.

Crafted with the same precision and passion that defines both the French House and Portman herself, Essence is not merely a scent but a standout fragrance in its own right. This new Miss Dior Essence reinterprets Dior’s heritage through a modern lens: the frosted glass bottle recalls the original 1948 design, now etched with a houndstooth motif and crowned with a bow.

Reflecting exclusively with GLASS, Portman takes a moment to celebrate both scent and self.

Natalie Portman by Zoe Natale Mannella for Christian Dior Parfums

You have been the face of Miss Dior for 15 years now… How has your relationship with the House and the fragrance evolved throughout the years?

I felt much more intimidated by it at the beginning, but working with Dior for so long, the team has really become like a family and I am much more at ease now. They were with me before I had kids and as I’ve gotten older and gone through different periods of my life. The Miss Dior character has grown as I have grown.

Can you describe Miss Dior Essence in three words?

Floral, feminine, bold.

How much of yourself do you inject in the Miss Dior character? Or is she shaped on you like a handmade dress?

The character was definitely created by the Miss Dior team, but since it is associated with me as a person, some of it is based on who I am. The main inspiration comes from Catherine Dior, who was the original Miss Dior for her brother Christian. The energy of her spirit is the inspiration for what the character is: a courageous, strong, bold, free, liberated woman who stands up for justice.

Natalie Portman by Zoe Natale Mannella for Christian Dior Parfums

Can you say a few words about Catherine? When were you first introduced to her story?

Several years into my collaboration with Dior, the team started digging up the archives and this wonderful story emerged. Catherine was an incredibly courageous woman. She was very active in the Resistance to the Nazis during the war, was sent to a concentration camp, survived and came back.

I think her story also gives a lot of meaning to the whole enterprise of what Christian Dior was doing: he was trying to revive beauty after a very ugly time, and to bring it back into people’s lives after they had lived through so much horror. I think that’s so necessary, and that there can be so much pleasure and meaning in beauty and in the power of humans to create beautiful things.

It is interesting that, of all senses, smell is rather absent in movies…

I think about it all the time! Many actors get into character by scent, and it can sometimes be very helpful. I had a rose scent for Black Swan. On Star Wars, because we shot in North Africa, the scent of jasmine was very present. And A Tale of Love and Darkness, the movie I directed in Israel, is related to orange blossom.

Natalie Portman by Zoe Natale Mannella for Christian Dior Parfums

You shot the new Miss Dior Essence campaign in Paris. Do you remember your first time -or times- there?

My first time, I can’t remember it, even though my parents told me about it a lot. I was 3 years-old when we moved from Israel to the United States. We had a layover in Paris, and my dad always tells the story of how I tried to take a bath in the bidet in the hotel room.

But my real first time was at 11, when I was filming Léon. It was magical. I had this image of Paris being the chicest, most intellectual city in the world. And it was! I was in awe of how everything and everyone looked. My mom took me to museums on the weekends, and I ate crepes every day for dinner. I thought they were the best thing I’d ever eaten in my life.

Can you talk a little bit about Arco, one of your exciting new projects?

Arco is the first feature from a young French animation director called Ugo Bienvenu. He is such a beautiful artist and has a very important voice in animation, it feels like the birth of a Miyazaki. The story is also very touching: it is about kids figuring out how to take care of the planet through time travel.

Natalie Portman by Zoe Natale Mannella for Christian Dior Parfums

You played a major role in the creation of Time’s Up in the wake of the Me Too movement. Can you talk a little bit about the state of things for women in Hollywood today?

It’s been an incredible part of my life experience to get to be part of Time’s Up with so many amazing colleagues. I built friendships and working relationships that continue till today. When we created Time’s Up in 2018, it was the first time women in our industry came together. For the first ten years of my career, I was the only woman on set except for hair and makeup, and I had a lot of girlfriends outside my work but I didn’t know any women in my industry. We were so often kept apart and pitted against each other because of the scarcity of interesting roles.

So, it was such an incredible moment to all talk, share experiences and information, be friends and support each other. We talked about what we could ask for in our contracts, about money, about who’s a good person to work with or not, about the importance of taking leadership roles in producing and directing, of speaking up and being a leader on set as an actress, of reaching out to younger actresses and being a support system for each other… We still have those friendships and reach out to each other and gather all the time. About the film industry, I think it’s changed a little but there’s still a very long way to go.

LONDON-based and Durban-born, 39-year-old Daniel Bense has a brilliant and impressive track record in working with innovative and elegant fashion and skincare and brands – having been head of commercial of groundbreaking Australian skincare company Aesop as well as being managing director of British heritage knitwear house Sunspel.

Last year Bense launched grooming line, To My Ships – the title inspired by an extract from Homer’s epic poem The Iliad – which has sustainability at its core. The elegantly minimal To My Ships has the ambition to prioritise “quality and responsibility, we aim to minimise waste and environmental impacts through responsible design and use of resources, the application of a subtractive aesthetic, and an encouragement to reuse, refill and recycle containers.”

Daniel Bense – founder of To My Ships

To make the brand’s chic post-consumer recycled and recyclable aluminium containers, To My Ships worked with a packaging manufacturer based outside Bilbao, Spain, where the team ingeniously discovered that by reducing the diameter of the aluminium containers to make a slimmer and taller bottle, this would save 10 per cent of the material used.

The pared down, thoughtfully curated debut range, entitled Of The Gods Polygonum, comprises a roll-on and spray-on deodorant; a hand and body wash; as well as an eau de parfum. They are all scented with a 99.97 per cent naturally derived fine fragrance, formulated in the “tradition of haute parfumerie”. Created by leading perfumer Céline Barel, they are verdant, fresh, citrusy-infused with hints of polygonum (derived from lily of the valley), petitgrain and patchouli.

The products are all made from the highest quality ingredients. For instance, the Of The Gods Polygonum hand and body wash is sulphate-free, vegan, while the roll-on deodorant is dermatologically tested and free from aluminium salts.

To My Ships Polygonum Hand and Body Wash refill (750ml) £65 | Buy here



What challenges do you encounter in producing reasonably priced, high quality innovative products while maintaining the brand’s commitment to sustainability?

We set out to create a deodorant for those who seek responsibly made, intelligently designed products – exceptional in quality, reliably effective and intensely pleasurable to use. We should all care more about what we put on and in our bodies; for too long, we’ve overlooked this. Your underarms are incredibly sensitive and deserve to be treated with respect, which is why we pared-back the formula to its essential elements – a challenge for our lab and perfumers alike, from a toxicological, price and efficacy perspective.

Building a fully European supply chain added another layer, but real business happens in person, forged through genuine relationships. A good block of Pitchfork cheddar goes a long way with a Bavarian glassmaker or a Basque aluminium supplier. We knew we wouldn’t be the largest customer, but we’d certainly be the one of the more interesting.

Of The Gods – Polygonum, Eau de Parfum 100ml £175 | Buy here

Why is the classical world so important to you?
The title To My Ships is an excerpt from The Iliad, as are the names of each of the company’s products. Amid the chaos, there is so much beauty in a piece of text that has been passed down by orators over the ages. Drawing on this ever-resonant advocacy for calm and civilised living is inspiring. We have much to learn from the classics; they are full of beauty, tragedy and life.

What are your future plans for the brand?
We are ambitious and focused on continuing to create more with less – and better. In the coming months, we will launch with key partners in the UK, Australia, Benelux and the US, alongside three new product lines throughout the year. It won’t be long before we enter the world of retail; we know that this will be the truest expression for our customers. At the same time, we’re continuing to push ourselves to work with our lab to develop products that are simple, responsible and that redefine the status quo.

What is your hero product from the range?
The Of The Gods Polygonum Roll-on Deodorant is the true hero of the range. To My Ships began as a contrast to the too-loud, too-overbearing, too-artificial, too-duty-free fragrances of today. We set out and created a deodorant from the world of fine fragrance – elevating a dark, functional product with the care applied to skincare formulation and a unique, seductive green citrus scent. And it works.

Where and how do you see grooming evolving?

Now feels like the moment to connect with those who are discerning in their purchases – who refuse platitudes, fads, superficiality and greenwashing, and who take time to research and source products of value. I hope we will move away from jargon and more towards reality, and this means simple, effective products that are priced for their quality. And refills – I hope that they provide significant value while considering the full system of customer use, reuse, refill and household recycling.

Of The Gods Polygonum Spray-On Deodorant 75ML £35 | Buy here

What defines your style?
Simple, understated, mostly navy and of good quality – a Harley lambswool jumper, a Barena shirt and pretty much anything from Dick’s in Edinburgh.

What is your signature scent?
Nothing too smelly. I’m drawn to fresh, green notes with bitter citruses and light woods – crisp, sophisticated and quietly confident. Right now, I’m wearing Stand Up Bravely, which launches in April. It’s centred around marjoram heart, giving it an earthy, natural simplicity that stays with you in the most effortless, understated way. Honestly, the deodorant version might be the best product I’ve ever worked on.

I REACH down to scoop up a handful of freshly formed ice, rubbing my hands together to lower my heart rate before raising them to the sun. I stand beside the glassy, frozen-solid Lago Nambino, 1,780m above sea level, having hiked through pristine snow to reach this breathtaking spot.

Encircled by the beauty of the snow-capped Brenta Dolomites, a Unesco World Heritage site, and the Adamello-Presanella Alps, I take a deep breath of crisp alpine air. The dazzling winter sunlight reflects off the snow, casting a magical glow over the landscape. In this moment of perfect solitude, I feel utterly at peace.

I am here to experience the newly launched Yin-Yang Active and Balance three-day programme, created by the Lefay Spa Method Scientific Committee at Lefay Resort & Spa Dolomiti, a spectacular retreat perched above the village of Pinzolo, Italy – a two-hour drive from Verona, the nearest international airport. 

Lefay Resort & Spa Dolomiti exterior

In traditional Chinese medicine, yin and yang represent opposing yet connected forces – coolness and water versus warmth and fire. For the body to achieve optimal health, these elements must be in balance. Lefay’s wellness philosophy embraces this principle with treatments focused on harmonising these energies, with the Active and Balance programme thoughtfully curated to complement these elements. 

My morning itinerary begins with a three-hour guided mountain hike through undulating, snow-draped terrain led by two expert local guides, Andrea Chesi and Mirko Ferrari. Afternoons are dedicated to indulgence and restoration within Lefay’s award-winning three-storey spa, featuring a harmonious blend of Eastern and Western wellness traditions. These include saunas, steam rooms, relaxation areas, and three stunning pools that feature a lap pool and a warm indoor/outdoor infinity pool offering uninterrupted alpine vistas.

My spa journey begins with the water element as I immerse myself in a deeply restorative salt bath, followed by a mud wrap and a detoxifying, exfoliating massage on a waterbed. My highly skilled and nurturing therapist, Katarina, effortlessly blends gentle preening with invigorating pressure, leaving me both refreshed and cocooned.

Family Suite

On my second day, the fire element takes precedence. After a morning hike, I indulge in a deeply rejuvenating muscle massage, followed by a sauna stretching session, a unique Lefay therapy. As fragrant essential oils infuse the steamy air, Enrico, the intuitive in-house personal trainer, guides me through mindful breathing and slow, deliberate stretches to release built-up tension. This experience, both meditative and reviving, will benefit my body long after my departure.

The resort is also a gastronomic destination. Its fine-dining restaurant, Grual, was recently awarded a Michelin star, celebrating its commitment to sustainability and exquisite flavours, with the menu crafted from locally sourced organic and sustainable ingredients. 

Pool

Evenings at Dolomia, the resort’s main restaurant, are the ultimate celebration after Lefay’s rejuvenating daily schedules. The healthy dining option offers a selection that aligns specifically with the Active and Balance programme, but the allure of decadence on the main menu might prove irresistible. I surrender to the temptation of tortelli filled with locally produced Casolét cheese, saffron cream, caper powder and cocoa beans – a dish that lingers long after the last bite.

Lobby

Returning to my Lefay suite adds another facet of serenity to my stay. Each room is designed in soothing neutral tones, featuring glass and leather, with wooden accents and at a touch of a button, I ignite my stylish “log fire”, casting a warm glow. The marble bathroom, with its standalone bathtub and bespoke Lefay amenities, enhances the sense of indulgence. Floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a balcony, where panoramic mountain vistas form a dramatic backdrop to the village below.

As my time at Lefay draws to an end, I already feel the pull to return. And with any luck, I will – very soon.

by Amanda Bernstein

Prices start from €1,650 per person for the Active & Balance three-day programme with a stay in a Prestige Junior Suite (57 sqm), double occupancylefayresorts.com

MEMO Paris has teamed up with French artist Jean Jullien for a limited-edition release of its Odéon fragrance, and it launched this week. The collaboration brings Jullien’s playful illustration style to the bottle and packaging, giving the scent a visual identity that nods to Paris.

MEMO Paris x Jean Jullien

Named after the Left Bank neighbourhood, Odéon reflects a place of cinemas, theatres, cafés, and bookshops, and Jullien has translated that atmosphere into fun drawings that capture the pace of the city, from morning light to sunset skies, complete with his recurring “little narrator” character appearing on the packaging.

The fragrance opens with rose absolute and candied rose, then onto sandalwood, patchouli, and cashmeran, and settles into a base of tonka bean, amber, and musks. For MEMO Paris, the partnership continues its focus on connecting scent with art, and for Jullien, it’s another chance to sketch Paris in a different medium, turning everyday impressions of the city into something lasting.

by Felicity Carter

Memo Paris Odéon x Jean Jullien is now available, and priced at £235 for 75ml. Find it at memoparis.com.

THIS Autumn, Christian Dior Parfums is rewriting the rules of fragrance retail with the launch of Fort Sauvage, an immersive pop-ip and experiential space that reimagines London’s Somerset House as a cinematic frontier. Open to the public from 25-28 September 2025, the installation marks the 10-year anniversary of Dior Sauvage, the world’s bestselling men’s fragrance.

More than just another temporary retail space, Fort Sauvage is a sensorial odyssey into the wild, untamed universe of the scent. Channeling a raw, Wild West aesthetic with a polished surreal touch of ’60s Westerns, visitors are transported into a fresh, new encounter with the fragrance.

Inside Fort Sauvage

Step through the entrance and the journey begins. The main corridor fractures into four interactive spaces, each refracting the Sauvage DNA in a new light.

The Fragrance Bar – A tactile immersion into Dior’s savoir-faire, unveiling Sauvage’s five olfactory moods: Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum, Parfum, Eau Forte and Elixir. Guests can trace the fragrance’s ingredients across continents: Calabrian bergamot, Indonesian patchouli and lavender from Provence. In true saloon style, visitors can try their hand at interactive games like slot machines, roulette and dice.

The Wild Theatre – A cinematic homage to rugged Western landscape, a screening of the latest Sauvage film directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino is on display. Starring, of course, Johnny Depp, the long-time face of the scent, the short film explores themes of resilience and freedom, along with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at footage of the past decade.

The Barber Shop – Grooming takes centre stage with live sessions by expect barbers, including Dior Beauty Grooming Ambassador Hayden Cassidy on the opening day.

The General Store – A curated retail space where guests can shop Dior’s full fragrance portfolio from Sauvage to Dior Men’s care, to timeless feminine icons like J’Adore and Miss Dior.

Since its debut in 2015, Dior Sauvage has captured a unique tension: refined yet raw, powerful yet understated. Its resonance lies not only in its olfactory composition but in its cultural footprint in beauty. Just open for four days, London becomes Dior’s Wild West – and its one not to be missed.

PROFESSOR Augustinus Bader, the German biomedical scientist turned skincare pioneer, has expanded his celebrated line with a new release, meet The Vitamin C Serum.

Backed by his next-generation Advanced TFC8® technology, the formula is designed to brighten, even, and protect the complexion while strengthening the skin barrier.

Augustinus Bader Vitamin C Serum

On the formula, Bader says: “With this formulation, we have incorporated our next-generation Advanced TFC8® technology to more precisely guide potent antioxidants–including a highly stable form of Vitamin C and Ergothioneine–into the skin for optimised absorption and enhanced efficacy”.

He contines, “The Vitamin C Serum promotes a brighter, more even complexion while fortifying the skin’s defence against oxidative stress without compromising skin barrier integrity.”

The serum promises immediate and long-term results thanks to a bioavailable complex that supports cell renewal and improves overall texture. Alongside Vitamin C, key ingredients include Ergothioneine, Niacinamide, and an Algae Evening Complex that all work together to reduce dullness, dark spots, and fine lines while boosting hydration.

Augustinus Bader Vitamin C Serum

Clinical trials suggest impressive results, from radiance improvement by 32%, uneven tone reduction by 50% and blemishes being diminished by 36% in four weeks. Consumer testing also reported that 88% noticed a brighter complexion.

A daily step within the Augustinus Bader routine, The Vitamin C Serum is vegan, fragrance-free, and formulated with sustainably sourced botanicals. Since launching his now-iconic ‘blue bottle’ moisturisers in 2018, Bader has become a fixture in the world of high-performance skincare, with over 185 awards for his products.

AS THE summer season draws to a close, there’s no better time to change up one’s beauty routine. Fortunately, Dolce & Gabbana’s latest releases are transitional makeup must-haves. 

To start, following the success of the brand’s Mint Oil Lip Plumper, Dolce & Gabbana has introduced three new variations: The Orange Oil Lip Plumper, The Watermelon Oil Lip Plumper, and the Coffee Oil Lip Plumper.

These lip oils promise to deliver 24H lasting hydration, ensuring lips feeling nourished from day to night. The non-sticky, jelly-like formula of the Oil Lip Plumper’s imparts a soft hue of glossy colour, while also painlessly plumping the lips to perfection. 

The Orange Oil Lip Plumper, Watermelon Oil Lip Plumper, and Coffee Oil Lip Plumper £34

Arriving in frosted glass packaging with a gold monogrammed trim and fluffy doe-foot applicator, the new Oil Lip Plumper’s are clean and compact, making them a stylish new makeup bag accessory. 

The Ever Icon Eye Palette £65

Alongside the Oil Lip Plumpers, Dolce & Gabbana has recently unveiled the Ever Icon Eye Palette. Available in three colour harmonies, 01 Amber Venus, 02 Rose Goddess, and 03 Chrome Star, the Ever Icon Eye Palette offers eye shadow combinations suited for any occasion.

Tested to last for up to 10 hours, enriched with Italian pistachio and oleic acid, and designed for smudge-proof performance, each palette features six versatile shades in an array of finishes. From neutral matte shades to the most sparkling satin hues, the Ever Icon Eye Palette delivers effortlessly glamorous colour payoff. 

The Everlast Concealer £33

Finally, to finish the look, Dolce & Gabbana’s Everlast Concealer promises to act as an ideal base to any makeup look. This high-performance concealer, available in 30 shades, delivers 24H coverage thanks to its hydrating formula.

Crafted with gardenia-derived bio-peptides and a caffeine-like adaptogenic complex, the Everlast Concealer revitalises the under-eye area whilst also reducing troublesome dark circles. Creamy, non-comedogenic, sweat-resistant, and water-resistant, this concealer guarantees all-day confidence.

MIU Miu has launched Miutine, a new fragrance this month, and it captures the fun, youthful, and unconventional essence of the Miu Miu woman.

Bottled in a toffee-toned matelassé flacon with a sequin-inspired cap, Miutine is a modern take on a classic chypre. Expect bright citrus and floral notes, set against earthy patchouli and oakmoss, with a twist of wild strawberry and brown sugar.

“The composition invites self-affirmation and confidence, creating a perfume for oneself away from any gaze. This colourful and modern composition captures the essence of the Miu Miu girl,” said Dominique Ropion, the brand’s Master Perfumer.

Miutine Perfume

The campaign, directed by Hailey Benton Gates, stars British actor Emma Corrin and explores the definition of the word “Miutine.” “Irreverence is a tricky thing to capture…it is a quality, an attitude that is omnipresent at Miu Miu. I felt the best way to capture this irreverent spirit was to make sure the camera was moving irreverently too,” said Benton Gates.

Corrin, who is the face of the fragrance, said: “The scent represents all the aspects that I treasure and respect the most in myself and others; rebellion, expression, originality. It’s one for the free spirits.”

Miutine is priced at £72 for 30ml, £102 for 50ml and £140 for 90ml. It will be available from Selfridges, The Perfume Store, Boots and Look Fantastic.

VANILLA is trending hard on TikTok, and Lancôme is right on cue with a new fragrance drop, the release of its latest scent, La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude —a musky vanilla take on its bestselling line.

Created by Master Perfumers Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo, the scent is built around Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar, lifted by jasmine grandiflorum that’s grown at Lancôme’s Domaine de la Rose in Grasse. There’s also a creamy white musk and sandalwood that give the fragrance its soft, calming notes.

La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude

Perfumer Anne Flipo says, “Its olfaction creates an intimate connection between the fragrance and the skin. It reveals a more sensory vision. The sillage is carnal, enveloping, and voluptuous, the texture is creamy” and Dominique Ropion describes it as “a soft yet deeply sensual ode to intimacy,” featuring “powdery elegance of orris blends with the radiant jasmine from Lancôme’s Domaine de la Rose in Grasse, adding brightness and velvety depth.”

La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude is now available nationwide.
