Diptyque

Diptyque has collaborated with perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin and artist Alix Waline to create L'Eau Papier, a fragrance that honours paper as the primary means of artistic expression. It pays tribute to Diptyque's history and nature, recalling the brand's founding trio's passion for the line and the brushstroke, bringing together water and paper to remind us of artists freely creating drawings with their imagination. A delicate and sensual composition, the fragrance combines the scent of roasted sesame seeds, floral mimosa notes, and musky accords to create a delicate, powdery, and sensual aroma reminiscent of ink on paper.

$880 (50ml), $1,220 (100ml); available now at Diptyque boutiques and diptyqueparis.com

Sulwhasoo

Sulwhasoo's iconic First Care Activating Serum gets a makeover with a whole new bottle design and a more powerful formula. Designed to be the first step of your skincare routine, the fast-absorbing serum spreads evenly across the skin and dissolves quickly to help alleviate the strain on your skin typically felt right after cleansing. The new formula also features exclusive ginseng technology – the Sulwhasoo Master Complex – to bring a more powerful substance to tackle 'mask-ne' for healthier and more radiant skin. As for the bottle itself, its round and smooth design mimics the lines of a white porcelain moon jar to embody a distinct Korean sense of beauty and aesthetics.
