THE LUXE FOUNDATION:

Hermès Plein Air Foundation

New foundations are flooding the market right now but when it comes to attention to detail, Hermès wins hands-down. At £105, Plein Air is an investment – but worth considering if you’re on the hunt for a medium coverage, matte-leaning base that doesn’t compromise on radiance. Powered by 82% skincare ingredients, including balancing niacinamide and brightening white mulberry, this brings together hydration and breathability, wrapped up in a flattering, luminous-matte finish. The icing on the cake? The brand has just dropped a gilded palette (great if you swear by the pro rule of never applying product directly onto your face) so you can saturate your brush with the perfect amount of foundation. Undeniably extra but we’re here for it.

THE FACIAL RESIDENCY:

Natasha Clancy At The Dorchester

Former model Natasha Clancy has built a name for herself as one of London’s most trusted aestheticians and her clinic Kichi is considered the go-to spot for high-tech, anti-ageing-focused facials. Now, she’s bringing her preventative, collagen-banking approach to The Dorchester Spa on Thursdays and Fridays. Focusing on exosomes, radiofrequency and polynucleotides – choose accordingly based on your personal skin goals – an hour with Natasha is all it takes to emerge looking bouncier and glowing.

THE GLOW-BOOSTING TREATMENT:

Omorovicza Elixir Power Facial

Everyone leaves Hungarian label Omorovicza’s doors glowing and lifted – that’s a fact. Loved by insiders, this hidden gem has just added to its treatment menu, and we highly recommend booking in. Suitable for all skin types (but especially effective on stressed-out complexions), the new facial is powered by the brand’s mineral-rich formulas, including the Elixir, as well as the most potent expression of the Healing Concentrate. Combining double masking, tension-melting fascia work and Omorovicza’s signature rhythmic massage – rooted in centuries of tradition – it boosts circulation and enhances product absorption for visibly fresher, lifted skin. Expect 75 minutes of pure bliss.

THE FRAGRANCE EXPERIENCE:

Diptyque The Orphéon Record Station

London-based fragrance fans will already know – and love – Maison Diptyque on New Bond Street. Now, the brand has teamed up with Parisian record store Superfly to create an immersive, not-to-be-missed experience. Paying homage to vintage jazz club-inspired Orphéon, and marking the launch of the eau de toilette, Diptyque invites you in to discover the smoky, effervescent bestseller. Take a seat at the self-service turntables and let the vinyls transport you back to the 1960s club. Plus, if you book ahead, you can try your hand at live sketching, or even paint and personalise your own keepsake vinyl.

107 New Bond Street, London, W1S 1ED; until 14th April

THE GAME-CHANGING TOOL:

myBlend myLIFTINGroller

If you’re serious about beauty tech, this clever, multi-tasking roller from Clarins’ sister brand myBlend is worth trying. Designed to work your facial muscles hard, it combines microcurrent, vibrations and dual-head massage for a visibly firmer, more sculpted look. Fine electrical impulses penetrate deep into the tissue to reactivate muscle activity and support cellular regeneration by boosting oxygen and nutrient delivery. Use it daily for just seven minutes alongside a water-based serum, working all over the face or focusing on areas like the jawline and cheekbones for added definition and lift.

THE COLLAB TO KNOW:

Perfumer H x Studio Nicholson

According to Perfumer H and Studio Nicholson, a crossover between the independent British brands was inevitable. For years, Perfumer H founder Lyn Harris has worn the minimalist clothing label on repeat and her candles have long filled Studio Nicholson’s stores. The limited-edition collection spans from classic-cut cotton Italian shirts and timeless navy trousers to Soap, a quietly addictive eau de parfum, also available in incense form. Crisp and skin-like, it has a clean, cocooning quality but doesn’t verge into sleepy. Think just-laundered fabric with notes of powdery aldehydes and orange flower, layered over a soft, musky base.
