Yves Saint Laurent’s Versatile New Fragrance
If you love your fair share of edgy fragrances, you will love YSL’s new gender-fluid fragrance – La Vallière. The exclusive collection Le Vestiaire des Parfums revisits Yves Saint Laurent’s style in a collection of fragrant tributes, in an olfactory wardrobe inspired by the couturier’s signature fashion statements.
Just as Yves Saint Laurent drew his inspiration from masculine garments to reinvent women’s wardrobes, YVES SAINT LAURENT BEAUTÉ has created compositions showcasing an unexpected match of contrasting ingredients.
The couture perfumery collection introduces a strikingly sophisticated addition to its elegant Vestiaire, inspired by YSL’s most gender-fluid accessory: La Vallière, a lustrous blend of pulpy fig and petally rose that gives the floral green genre a sleek, chic, androgynous twist. Several olfactory themes run through the fragrance – fruity, floral, green, woody… seamlessly intertwining the masculine and the feminine. There are several star players that make up the scent including blackcurrant bud absolute, fig, jasmine, rose essence, geranium and musk. Available at leading beauty stockists.
Must-Haves From Siella Beauty
Siella Beauty brings us another practical beauty solution with their new lip and cheek products. These must-have products combine makeup with skin care benefits for a gorgeous flush of colour while providing your skin with nourishing ingredients.
Siella Beauty’s newest long-lasting lip & cheek tint will give you an undeniably fresh wash of colour to achieve a sun-kissed flush throughout the day. It’s lightweight, blendable and buildable to your desired level. Infused with rose water, the lip & cheek tint offers soothing and hydrating skin benefits. Their lip & cheek tint comes in two beautiful shades: Cherry and Strawberry.
We loved the first two shades to launch from their balm-like hydrating gloss collection. ‘Pecan’ has a brownish nude tone while ‘Sally’ for a peachy pink hue. The glosses have an ultra -pigmented formula making them ideal for wearing alone or layered over lipstick. Infused with a combination of nourishing organic shea butter, moisturising organic pistachio butter and smoothing passionfruit seed oil, these high-shine balm-like glosses deliver the shine you would expect from a gloss with the nourishing feel of a balm.
Available at www.siellabeauty.com, FACES and 6th Street.
Parfums de Marly’s Luxurious Body Oil
Luxury French Perfume House, Parfums de Marly, has expanded its Delina collection, unveiling an intensified sensual feminine blend with the ‘Delina Body Oil’.
Perfectly accompanying the Delina Eau de Parfum, the delicately scented dry oil adorns the skin with notes of rose, peony, lychee and grapefruit, on a subtle base of vanilla and musk. Inspired by the Delina collection of the famous Delina Exclusif and Delina La Rosée scents, the Delina Body Oil accompanies the collection’s shower gel, hair mist, body and hand cream.
The classic, yet decidedly contemporary floral blend of Delina was formulated in 2017 by the French perfumer Quentin Bisch. Inspired by 18th century perfumery and the Pavillon des Bains, a destination for wellbeing at the heart of the Château de Marly, the body oil is a sensual complement to modern beauty rituals.
Available across the Middle East at www.pmarly.com.

Go Big and Bold with Flormar
Mascara has recently been elevated to a whole new level with the “anti-mascara” trend that has taken over TikTok. Interestingly, the ‘anti’ here doesn’t suggest a negative trend against using the mascara, rather it is one that embraces the mascara to create even bigger and bolder makeup looks.
Makeup lovers and influencers, including the likes of Huda Beauty and Divina Muse, are now applying mascara to their eyelids, temples, and even cheeks while experimenting with new strokes and patterns to create unique interpretations of the trend.
Flormar’s Big’ n Bold Mascara with its long-lasting formula and special silicone brush is perfect to take on this trend without being heavy on the wallet. It also volumises your eyelashes and adds intensity and definition to your overall make-up. Available in both Lengthening and Waterproof variations, these mascaras feature a special smudge-proof formula that prevents clumping. Available at all Flormar stores.
