Timothy Han / Edition fragrances tell stories
LONDON-BASED fragrance brand Timothy Han / Edition recently released a series of unisex perfumes based on five iconic novels, namely: Simone de Beauvoir’s She Came To Stay, Jack Kerouac’s On The Road, Yukio Mishima’s The Decay of the Angel, Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, and Joris-Karl Huysmans’ Against Nature. The company actively seeks to disrupt the way people experience scent by crafting olfactory stories that unfold on the skin over time and take the user on a journey. This latest collection is now available in the Philippines exclusively through Adora Department Store. While the perfume industry tends to be more about tradition, Timothy Han / Edition takes book adaptations to the next level by effectively telling narratives in the form of modern unisex luxury fragrances. Similar to turning a page, every spritz draws the user in as the scent gradually unfolds throughout the day. Each fragrance is also handcrafted and produced in small batches and the raw fragrance materials vary from year to year, meaning that each batch contains only a limited stock that is numbered and easily identified for customers to know where their bottle came from. Timothy Han / Edition Fragrances are sustainable and created with 100% responsibly sourced ingredients and a certified organic base of grape alcohol. They also don’t test on animals nor use any animal by-products.
Charriol launches the St. Tropez watch
SAINT-TROPEZ evokes a mood, that of chic French summer style. The famous town inspired a watch, Charriol’s St. Tropez — a timepiece design to match the flair and allure of Brigitte Bardot in And God Created Woman. To celebrate the brand’s 40th anniversary, Creative Director and Chairwoman Coralie Charriol is releasing the new St. Tropez, a modern take on the bestseller. The hallmark of the St. Tropez watch collection is its rigid, open cable bracelet. Each of these bracelets, adorned with two décor clips, features a unique chain bracelet accompanied by a security chain and safety clasp. Each Charriol cable is manufactured in Switzerland from an exclusive alloy of stainless steel and titanium. They undergo hypoallergenic treatment in a tightly controlled 23-steps production process. St. Tropez watches meet the strict standards of Swiss Made — like all Charriol watches, they are assembled in the brand’s workshops in Switzerland. The new watch builds on the original design with an open dial, a slimmer bezel and more simplified attaché and bracelet clasps. The watch remains a bijoux montre, watch and bracelet combined in one, but with an updated chain design. The new Marina chain features oblate oval links. The signature cable band has been slimmed but remains five cables, and is decorated with engraved oval openwork. The watch is designed in a classic 25mm size, or offered as a 20mm mini. In the Philippines, Charriol is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., and is located at Greenbelt 5, Power Plant Rockwell, Trinoma, Central Square Bonifacio High Street, Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La Plaza, SM Mall of Asia, Alabang Town Center, The Podium, Newport Mall, Robinsons Place Manila, Robinsons Magnolia, Marquee Mall Pampanga, Rustan’s Ayala Cebu and Abreeza Davao. Also available online at Trunc.ph, Rustans.com and Zalora.
