 The decisive factor in competition: dynamics and time

A time measured in the UEFA Champions League in partnership with Hublot. For the past seven years, all the crucial moments of the tournaments have been displayed in Hublot time - on the referee board, where the exact minute and second is recorded for every goal scored, every card shown, every step on the pitch and every win.

Ever since Hublot first partnered with UEFA EURO in 2008, the brand has been associated with unforgettable moments. This cooperation developed into a long-term partnership in 2012 as the official timekeeper and official watch brand. In 2015, Hublot also became Official Timekeeper and Official Watch Brand of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, as well as the Official Supplier of Referee Watches. Hublot has also been a partner of the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) for its inaugural season 2021-2022 since 2018 and a partner of the UEFA Women's Champions League since 2019.

ARDBEG PREPARES ITSELF FOR ARDBEG DAY AS THE DISTILLERY LAUNCHES ITS LATEST PUNK ROCK LIMITED EDITION – ARDCORE

Held annually on the last Saturday of the Islay Music and Malt Festival (Fèis Ìle), Ardbeg Day is a worldwide celebration of all things Ardbeg. This year, the event will take place on June 4, and the festivities will take place at the Distillery, online, and at local events around the world. To celebrate the launch of its latest 'punk-turing' limited edition, Ardcore, the Distillery is calling on its fans to rally for the loudest event on the whiskey calendar.



 

Ardbeg, a Distillery that's had more ups and downs than a punk, presents Ardcore. Created from roasted dark malt – an unconventional choice, and a first for Ardbeg – this spirit focuses on what's happening up front, center stage. Incinerated to exhaustion, the malt is what defines its distinctive profile. Described by Dr. Bill Lumsden as "tasting like a bullet of fire", this delicious and devilish spirit is a product for posterity. Inspired by the easygoing attitude of Ardbeg fans, this whiskey is bottled for them. Arcore also draws inspiration from Islay's unsung punk past, celebrating the characters of "PUNK ELLEN", the supposed nickname for Islay's main port, Port Ellen, in the 1970s.

Colin Gordon, Director of Ardbeg Distillery, said: “This year will be my first physical Ardbeg Day. Whether at the Distillery or at home, we hope that many of you will be ready to party on June 4th."

Dr Bill Lumsden, Head of Distillation and Whiskey Creation at Ardbeg, says: "Ardcore is a whiskey that has its heart on its label - its black heart! Created from roasted dark malt, burnt to the bitter end. exhaustion, this spirit is all about substance, notes of charcoal and sweet smoke give it an intense nose, while powerful notes of anise and dark chocolate make this bottle a product for the biggest fans of Arcore."

Ardcore will be available for purchase from Ardbeg Embassies, Whiskey Specialists, online and the Distillery Visitor Center. Events on Ardbeg Day will comply with local authority guidelines and attendance may be limited for everyone's safety and enjoyment. To learn more about Ardbeg Day 2022 and all things Ardbeg, smoked malt whiskey lovers can join the Ardbeg Committee at Ardbeg.com.

Sì PASSIONE ECLAT Eau de Parfum the new feminine fragrance from Giorgio Armani

Giorgio Armani presents its latest, radiant interpretation of his iconic women's fragrance Sì. 

Sì PASSIONE ÉCLAT DE PARFUM captures the aura of modern, bold femininity and exudes the effervescent power of passion that illuminates and gives meaning to all of our lives and of course I am a fan! If you are looking for a new glamourous fragrance for Spring/Summer look no further.







The original Sì premiered in 2013 and was an homage to the self-determination and elegance of today's woman, a modern chypre fragrance with the color nude as a distinctive feature. In 2018, the Sì line was expanded to include Sì PASSIONE. Sì PASSIONE is a fruity-floral fragrance that reinterprets the spirit of Sì in a fiery way with intense deep red. 

Now in 2022, the floral rose fragrance Sì PASSIONE ÉCLAT DE PARFUM captures the optimistic mood that characterizes the fragrance with transparent ruby ​​red.

Sì PASSIONE ÉCLAT DE PARFUM evokes the passion that inspires us to reveal our strengths and conquer the world, carried by independence and style. With the credo "Sì to Passion", Sì PASSIONE ÉCLAT DE PARFUM is an ode to the courageous, fearless life, illuminated by radiant vibrancy and shaped by intoxicating passion.

SÌ PASSIONE ÉCLAT DE PARFUM unveils a whole new, glamorous facet of the signature fragrance of Sì PASSIONE. The name ÉCLAT - "splendid radiance" - describes its sparkling sparkling notes, from stimulating bergamot to the elegant accord of black currant, which merge together with dewy notes of rose.




The brilliant fragrance, which belongs to the flower rose family, contains numerous precious ingredients from responsible and sustainable production. These include Bergamot from Italy's Calabria, which gives the fragrance its unmistakable shine, Damask Rose from Turkey's Isparta, and Premium Bourbon Vanilla Infusion from Madagascar. The consistently sustainable procurement of these noble ingredients is proof of the house's respect for nature.

Sì PASSIONE ÉCLAT DE PARFUM is the work of Julie Massé , who also created the original fragrance Sì PASSIONE. The sparkling top note with bergamot from Calabria makes the start; this fresh, juicy citrus note was tailor-made for Giorgio Armani. It merges with a radiant blackcurrant accord that gives the fragrance its sparkling lightheartedness: a new, refreshingly green interpretation of the iconic Sì signature.

The base note seduces the senses with white musk, which gives the fragrance its enchantingly pure, soft and sensual character. Premium Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar exudes an irresistibly warm, spicy aura that is instantly addictive. The reverberation is light and fresh overall, but at the same time also beguilingly soft and flatteringly enveloping.

The premium bourbon vanilla is cultivated in collaboration with the local NGO Fanamby in the protected area of ​​Loky Manambato in Madagascar - an initiative by Armani for social development as part of the program 'SOLIDARITY SOURCING'. It makes a significant contribution to ensuring the sustainable procurement of important ingredients and supporting local farming communities. This initiative is also certified as a sustainable procurement program to protect the environment, having ensured the reforestation of 150 hectares of mangrove forest in the region. It preserves biodiversity in the region and benefits at least 30% of the small farmers in the area.




SÌ PASSIONE ÉCLAT DE PARFUM presents itself in the legendary, unmistakable Sì bottle; its transparent glass is lacquered in bright, transparent ruby ​​red. It captures all the luminosity of the fragrance and shines like a precious jewel as soon as the light hits it. It is embossed with the iconic SÌ PASSIONE logo in gold, which also appears in bright red orange on the fragrance's deep red case. The night-black shimmering cap shaped like a pebble is a trademark of the Sì fragrances – as is the simple golden ring on the neck of the bottle, which exudes elegant understatement. The whole bottle of SÌ PASSIONE ÉCLAT DE PARFUM sparkles and shimmers like a jewel, like them
