A note before October.
If a postcard with a half-finished crossword arrived recently, this is the rest of the sentence.
Most of skincare is daytime work. Night is the part nobody sees, which is where we’ve spent the past year.
It started with my own skin getting drier and losing firmness, and with the evening being the part of my routine I’d never properly finished. The Bio-Retinol Daily Serum was as far as it went, and I wanted something to work alongside it and take that ingredient further.
The result is the Overnight Longevity Treatment. One step, last thing at night. Our bio-retinol and a new Plant Exosomal Complex sit at the centre of it.
And then there’s the scent. We’ve called it Hinoki Nightfall.
It started with cold air and standing water. The point in an evening when the light has gone, the ground gives up its warmth and everything settles. Not a powdery bedtime floral. Mountain air after rain, wet timber, nobody else awake.
The first breath from the jar is cool and crisp. Warm the cream between your palms and the fragrance drops an octave: hinoki and wet timber give way to the deeper warmth of sandalwood and frankincense underneath. A thread of damask rose runs through it, shadowy and close, never becoming floral.
It leaves a creamy warmth on the pillow, then recedes.
It launches on 1 October. The crossword solution goes to the list before then, along with first access.
