Aesop
Our skin is subjected to a variety of environmental stressors every day, especially if you live in an urban setting. Formulated for most skin types, including sensitive, the Aesop Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Intense Serum delivers intense hydration while imparting a protective film barrier. It’s lightweight, fast absorbing, and leaves the skin hydrated with a pleasingly matte yet supple finish, making it an astute choice for those seeking an alternative to cream or oil-based moisturisers. The serum is distinguished by an non-occlusive film which forms on the skin thanks to extracts of Red Algae and Tara Gum, imparting an imperceptible yet effective barrier. This formulation delivers impressive anti-oxidant benefits, supported by nourishing Vitamin E.

Fashion
Pandora
This summer, Pandora is exploring creativity and the art of self-expression with a new drop of the Pandora ME collection. The new designs are inspired by powerful amulets from ancient times and represent protection, luck and hope.
Each Pandora ME dangle carries its own meaning. The new attractive Compass Medallion, a symbol of motivation, represents defiance and finding one’s real self in the world. The new Pandora ME Tarot Card Medallion is rectangle-shaped with cut corners and supposed to bring luck. It combines three symbols not typically found in a deck: a piercing purple eye, a horseshoe, and a clover.
Each wearer’s choice of dangle embodies elements of their innermost self, whether it’s exploring freedom via symbols like the butterfly or radiating wisdom and strength through the radiance of the crescent moon.

Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet has unveiled the second part of its collaboration with Marvel that began in 2021, the Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon “Spider-Man”. Combining ancestral expertise with futuristic technology, this 42mm titanium and black ceramic timepiece is a feat of openwork and highlights the manufacturer’s boundless creativity in complications. Limited to 250 pieces, the Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon “Spider-Man” comes in a white gold case decorated with a spider leg motif.
The case is first laser-engraved to create the spider’s legs, which are then filled with luminescent hybrid ceramic. It is then polished and finely engraved by laser once more to form a spider’s web in the background. It is combined with a black ceramic bezel with ceramic also adorning the caseback that bears the words “Royal Oak Concept Unique Piece” in white. Spider-Man appears on the dial in a black suit, a reference to the one worn by the Super Hero in several 1980s comics.
