CLINIQUE - New Store at ifc mall

CLINIQUE BRINGS THE ULTIMATE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

TO HONG KONG 
Iconic Beauty Brand Reveals New Concept Store 
At the Luxurious ifc mall

CLINIQUE, a global leader in beauty, announced today that it will reveal its first new Concept Store in Asia at the ifc mall, the luxurious business and shopping centre of Hong Kong.  This new destination will re-vamp the prestige beauty brand's shopping model to offer multiple levels of service, providing consumers with a one-of-a-kind, "Service as You Like It" experience.  Breaking away all barriers, the new store invites consumers to interact with the brand in an open-sell environment.   

New features include makeup and foundation "bars" that encourage consumers to test and select products on their own, stand-alone makeup and skin care browsing areas, and intimate consultation areas which feature CLINIQUE's diagnostic two way mirrors. Inspired by today's woman and her shopping habits, the new 605 square foot space has been entirely remodeled, utilizing modern design and technology to enable multiple levels of shopping and customer service. 
 

CONSUMER INSPIRED  

"We looked to our consumers to tell us what type of shopping experience they wanted from CLINIQUE," said Lynne Greene, CLINIQUE President Worldwide. "These insights coupled with CLINIQUE's dermatological heritage and signature clean white aesthetic guided every detail at our new global flagship store. The result is a multi-layered shopping environment that empowers the consumer, enhances their overall shopping experience and visually communicates the brand's identity and expertise." 

In fact, current research shows that clients would like a more tailored experience and advice when shopping. And, women look for different shopping experiences based on their mood – they want the ability to browse but also want service on demand.* 
 

SERVICE AS YOU LIKE IT 

The new store brings Hong Kong the ultimate CLINIQUE Experience with the concept "Service As You Like It", allowing consumers to unique access to CLINIQUE's knowledge and expertise on skin care, makeup and foundation.  CLINIQUE shoppers at ifc mall can now enjoy one of the following custom-fit shopping experiences based on their unique needs and mood:

Le Paradis de Nina

 

Nina invites you to her re-discovered paradise. Enter a garden of paper, a universe of dream and fantasy, where trees are made of ink, where rimes shape the delicate contours of petals. Each flower exudes poetry, words that evolve and thrive at the touch of your personality, like a fragrance that becomes unique to each skin.

 

Le Paradis de Nina is a concentrate of poetic outpourings, designed for a contemporary fairy-tale princess. Daring, curious and oh so romantic, she seduces with her smile and her freshness. Her intoxicating fragrance carries you to an idyllic universe of which she is the queen.

 

Le Paradis de Nina reinterprets the original fragrance signed Marie Salamagne and Olivier Cresp. Just as sensual and desirable as its predecessor, this scent with a delightful smell draws inspiration from the delicious aroma of French Madeleine cake, reminiscence of childhood happiness. Delicious and intoxicating, Le Paradis de Nina distils its magical essences. The fragrance is enriched with new ingredients, reminiscent of the flavour of little pleasures we believed were forgotten.

 

A whiff that spurs an explosion of acidulated aroma of orange and mandarin peels. A second inspiration helps detect an irresistible touch of orange blossom, almond blossom, and heliotrope by the original blend of deliciously apple candy and gardenia. Lastly, from the deep of the fragrance mysterious scents of sandalwood emanate, also of white woods and patchouli that the sensuality of vanilla envelops.

 

Dive into the lively freshness of Le Paradis de Nina and allow yourself to be

surprised by its floral notes, its elegant texture and its innovative sophistication.

PERFUME| Carolina Herrera CH Garden Party Limited Edition

CH Garden Party Limited Edition

 

 

CH Garden Party, the new Limited Edition fragrance from CH, it´s inspired by the sensations evoked by the first sunny day after winter. Outdoor games, picnics on the countryside, the smell of springtime and the exciting sense of anticipation that precedes those long sunny days.

 

CH Garden Party is a light, delicate, feminine scent that is full of the charm and energy of the warmest seasons of the year. This new fragrance is a refreshing variation of our usual product, which is designed to be enjoyed during the brightest months of the year. We have kept the elegant, feminine design of the original packaging, but this time the bottle is wrapped in stylish pale pink leather.

 

CH Garden Party is clearly inspired by the world of CH Carolina Herrera accessories, with a set of gold pendants inlaid with red and purple hanging from the bottle. The colours and shapes evoke symbols such as a ladybird, a flower and a watering can.

 

CH Garden Party contains refreshing top notes of citrus fruits, such as grapefruit, pineapple and lemon, giving way to middle notes full of floral touches such as jasmine and rose petals. The base notes provide a spicy, earthy touch, with sandalwood and cedar. The result is an easy-to-wear, highly feminine essence that appeals to all the senses.

 

The contrast between its initial freshness and the warmth of the middle notes makes CH Garden Party a feminine fragrance that is as full of life as a garden awakening after the winter.

PERFUME| Paul Smith Rose Summer Edition 2010

Paul Smith Rose Summer Edition 2010

 

The Rose... An immense symbol for Paul Smith.

While his collections depict the floral motifs, his wife offers him a rose. His rose; the Paul Smith Rose. It goes on to become the source of the "Rose by Paul Smith" fragrance launched in 2007, an intense expression of the Rose's sensuality and character.

 

In order to make the pleasure last, Paul Smith wished to revisit the Rose - reinterpreting it in a perfume over-flowing with joy and luminosity. A warm, solar scent, which would be easy to wear throughout the summer season....

 

... Paul Smith Rose Summer Edition 2010 is born!

Fragrance

For the Rose Summer Edition 2010, Paul Smith once again collaborated with the great and original nose: Antoine Maisondieu.

 

With top-notes of Blackcurrant and Violet in association with Watermelon and Tea, an initial impression of colorful lightness.

 

Just as for its predecessor, the Paul Smith Rose is at the heart of this new fragrance - also composed of a delicate mix of Tea Rose and Damas Rose, lifted up by a touch of Iris. Luminous notes conferring a discretely seductive aura.

 

A bottom note combining warm and woody essences of Amber, White Musk and Cedar wood.

 

A fragrance that is sparkling and spontaneous like Springtime - while conserving all the character of The Paul Smith Rose scent and the unique British designer.

  

Design and Packaging

The bottle is simply irresistible in luminous shades of yellow and white, reflecting light - but also the breezy elegance of the scent. Like a soft ray of sunshine in Spring, it diffuses an impression of coming warmth...

 

The packaging, created by Alan Aboud, is also based on that of the Rose by Paul Smith. The rose - now of a brilliant yellow shade - travels down the entire box. The delicate aspect of petals forms a lovely contrast with the bold pink logo for a vivaciously strong look.

PERFUME| Paul Smith Sunshine Edition 2010

Paul Smith

Presents

 

Sunshine Edition 2010

 

Those first rays of sunshine signaling the long-awaited arrival of Spring... Paul Smith brings them to us in the form of two limited-edition fragrances for 2010: one for men, one for women, both stemming from the designer's original perfumes, Paul Smith Men and Paul Smith Women.

 

In perfect step with the off-beat classical approach of the inimitable British designer, these fragrances' names alone are appealing to the senses: Paul Smith Sunshine..

 

Paul Smith Sunshine EDT for Men

Luminous and sparkling, Paul Smith Sunshine for Men is literally bursting with intense energy and vitality. Coriander Leaves, Grapefruit and Black Pepper form a fresh and fleeting top-note, while the heart of the fragrance - Coriander Seeds, Nutmeg and Starfruit - emerges with force and depth. A bottom-note of Incense, Moss and Cedarwood express the timless elegance of the fragrance. Together they express a classic refinement underlining the masculinity and beauty of men wearing it.

 

Paul Smith Sunshine EDT for Women

Paul Smith Sunshine for Women is the perfect match for its masculine counterpart. This feminine fragrance is bright and dynamic. It opens on a zingy accord of citrus - Bergamot, Pink Grapefruit and Peach - before blossoming into a generous floral heart of Jasmine, White Peony and Bulgarian Rose. The floral prints of Paul Smith's collection illustrated in the form of a perfume ! Warmth and femininity are brought together through a vigorous bottom-note of Musk and Sandalwood.

 

Design and Packaging

Paul Smith Sunshine Limited Edition 2010 stands out from its predecessors, thanks to a distinctive interpretation of "stripes". Previously well-behaved and orderly, the stripes are cut loose and fly in all directions. For  2010 the prints forma "Pop" inspired star - illustrated by the artistic over-print of colors: green and yellow for Men, pink and yellow for the Women's version with the injection of bright and sunny tints, clearly suggestive of the beaming sun...
