Lalique Group and Brioni present the third opus in their fragrance wardrobe: Brioni Eau de Parfum Éclat

Brioni unveils a new scented signature with a blissful facet of the modernman: Brioni Eau de Parfum Éclat. It is Brioni’s third opus and bursting with top-tier and sustainable materials and is housed in a sleek, eco-responsible glass bottle.

To complement its leisurewear pieces, the House is proud to present a new opus in its fragrance wardrobe, as a last, refined, joyful touch: Brioni Eau de Parfum Éclat – a word that means “brightness” or “brilliance” in French.

Brioni has once more turned to Master Perfumer Michel Almairac at Robertet, who already composed the House’s first two signature fragrances. He delivers the most radiant fragrance in the collection, working closely with Norbert Stumpfl, Brioni Design Director. 

“Timeless yet current, the fragrance is both sober and sparkling. An intriguing contrast of pureness and electricity”, 

says Norbert Stumpfl.

Michael Almairac adds: 

“The spirit of the Brioni Eau de Parfum Eclat was inspired by an enchanted

day, from sunrise to sunset. In this new fragrance, you can feel both the freshness of the early

morning and the reassuring softness of nightfall. Each note that composes it, has been carefully

chosen from our finest raw materials.”

The streamlined formula of Brioni Eau de Parfum Éclat blends high-performance materials and sensuous olfactory notes. For Brioni, Michel Almairac worked on a short formula with top-tier ingredients, tailored for freshness and brightness such as juicy grapefruit, precious frankincense, radiant roses and creamy sandalwood. A perfect balance of technicity and artisanal craftsmanship, refinement and fluidity. The new fragrance is both long-lasting and remarkable – it is a scent that marks one’s presence with a radiant aura and an unforgettable trail.

In a continued spirit of sourcing in more sustainable ways, the House selects environmentally and socially responsible ingredients for its fragrances. The Grasse-based fragrance house Robertet pays special attention to the farming populations and their partnerships to protect natural resources andimprove crop conditions, with traceability from planting to harvesting. The Brioni fragrances blendznatural sustainable materials, are vegan, cruelty-free and free from artificial colouring.

LUSH: Protection, Restoration and Regeneration of West Toba Forest

LUSH supports the SOS Sumatran Orangutan Society with the aim of increasing global awareness of the wildlife paradise of West Toba. LUSH is committed to the local communities and supports them in protecting their rainforests. In 2018, LUSH funded a study that mapped the habitats of orangutans in Sumatra. The study concluded that West Toba is considered a critical area in the Sumatran rainforest for the conservation of endangered megafauna. The West Toba area is home to orangutans, Sumatran tigers, gibbons, hornbills and sun bears.

In West Toba there is a forest corridor that connects the habitat of orangutans and other wildlife in this biodiversity hotspot. Forest Edge Communities, Frontline Partners, SOS and LUSH support conservation efforts to preserve this vital ecosystem.

#WestTobaForest

SOS urgently needs money to secure the long-term protection of the forests in West Toba. The funds will be spent on conservation initiatives jointly created by the local communities in West Toba, the organization SOS and local partners:

Securing a wildlife corridor between the forests to bring the orangutans and other endangered megafauna back together and secure their future.

Providing the needed tools for the forest-based, local communities in West Toba to give them the tools for sustainable management and development.

To support this project, LUSH created a limited-edition Orangutan bath bomb. All profits from this product go to support the protection measures in West Toba. The orangutan bath bomb and contains restorative Sumatran patchouli oil, which exudes an enticing, grounding scent.

Inside each bath bomb is a ticket. This invites bathers to “immerse themselves in the sounds of the Sumatra rainforest”. The ticket also has a QR code that leads to a website where customers can download a soundscape from the depths of the Sumatran rainforest in West Toba.

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.

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.

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."

Events on Ardbeg Day will comply with local authority guidelines and attendance may be limited for everyone's safety and enjoyment.

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

Good for the skin, good for the world. 20 years of organic shea butter from Burkina Faso - a project co-initiated and supported by WALA.

 Intrinsic values ​​- this is the theme of Dr. Hauschka spring campaign 2022. This is how four favorite products selected by Dr. Hauschka reveal what they contain: precious shea butter in organic quality.  In the Rose Nurturing Body Cream, Rose Light Day Cream, Quince Day Cream and Lip Radiance Stick, shea butter provides intensive care and helps skin retain moisture.

For more than 20 years, the shea butter used in Dr. Hauschka cosmetics has been a fine example of the intrinsic values ​​of the brand: they only use raw materials of the best organic quality. And when these are not available on the world market - like shea butter in 2001 - Dr. Hauschka start growing them themselves with local partners. They attach great importance to sustainable, long-term partnerships, for which they show social commitment and responsibility towards nature. Dr. Hauschka's partnerships are not only certified organic, but also fair trade. They thus pay a higher price for raw materials than that of the market, which benefits the peasants of Burkina Faso.

Every time you buy a Dr. Hauschka product, you support these values ​​and we would like to thank you for this: from the first of April, Dr. Hauschka is bringing a touch of Africa to our bathroom. Those interested in our cultivation project will find further information on the cardboard packaging of the products.

EXPOVINA, renowned for its autumn colored boats, its Wine Trophy and its spring festival Primavera, has become an institution. The company has been run for 31 years by Bruno Sauter, who took it over from his father. Bruno Sauter will celebrate his 80th birthday this year and has therefore decided to sell the company to the Aroma agency.

Aroma perpetuates the heritage with rigor, respecting tradition.

The influence of the Expovina wine fair extends far beyond Zurich. It can count on many exhibitors, loyal for many years. "It is with passion and thanks to the support of my numerous collaborators that I have piloted the Wyschiff for all these years on the waves of Lake Zurich. I have been able to make many enriching experiences. It is time to put the most Switzerland's largest consumer wine fair in new hands", says Bruno Sauter, who is passing the helm to a new generation. He found in Aroma a strategic partner. Aroma has been showcasing brands for more than 25 years and has acquired a solid experience in trade fairs.

Preserving the Soul of Expovina

Aroma has been a partner of the show for many years and will ensure the succession with a lot of know-how and good experience of this event. Lukas Meier, co-owner of Aroma, tackles the task with respect: "We will continue to develop the three brands, always with the aim of bringing real added value to visitors and exhibitors. It is important for us that the original concept, the radiance and the soul of Expovina remain unchanged".
