Rustan’s – Patrón en Lalique

By | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Patrón tequila, one of the world’s highest-quality sophisticated spirits, and Lalique, the ultimate symbol of French luxury, have come together to introduce a first-of-its-kind exclusive collaboration, Patrón en Lalique: Serie 1. With only 500 units available globally, Rustan’s proudly welcomes this work of art into their home.rustans-patron-en-lalique-5Patrón en Lalique: Serie 1 is a limited-edition crystal decanter handmade by Lalique’s master artisans. The design of this exquisite bottle was inspired by Mexico’s indigenous Weber Blue Agave plant, from which tequila is produced. The meticulous detail of the amber crystal bottle stopper is perfectly shaped to represent the heart of the agave, the piña. The decanter showcases Lalique’s signature technique of contrasting clear and frosted crystal finishes to showcase its perfect detail and enhance the unique amber color of the tequila.rustans-patron-en-lalique-2 rustans-patron-en-lalique-1 rustans-patron-en-lalique-3Each of the 500 individually numbered and hand-polished bottles of Patrón en Lalique: Serie 1 are placed inside a handmade leather display case elegantly adorned with gemstone detail. A leather-bound book and video that documents the historic collaboration are also included.

Last August 26, Rustan’s has invited its loyal patrons and guests to witness the opportunity to see the limited edition Patrón en Lalique: Serie 1 up close. To commemorate this special collaboration, a toast was raised among Regional Director of Marketing and Commercial Strategy for Asia Pacific of The Patron Spirits International AG Milton Alatorre, Vice President for Asia Pacific of The Patron Spirits International AG Vicente Santos, Lalique Regional Director for Southeast Asia and Oceania Daniel Ong, Rustan’s Vice President for Home Merchandising Marilen Tantoco, Rustan’s Patriarch and Chairman Emeritus Amb. Bienvenido Tantoco Sr., and Rustan Commercial Corporation Chairman and CEO Zenaida Tantoco. Joining them were Honorary Consul of Angola Helen Ong, Mexico’s Ambassador to the Philippines Julio Camarena Villasenor, and French Embassy Counsellor for Cooperation & Cultural Affairs Yves Zoberman.rustans-patron-en-lalique-1Guests marveled at the extraordinary Serie 1, while sipping on special concoctions that highlighted different variants of Patron Tequila — Cucumber Sizzle, Mexican Mocha, Siesta Spices, and the Love and Lust. rustans-patron-en-lalique-2Regional Director of Marketing and Commercial Strategy for Asia Pacific of The Patron Spirits International AG Milton Alatorre took the guests through a brief tequila tasting, where they discovered the different notes and tastes of Patron Tequila variants.

rustans-patron-en-lalique-3 rustans-patron-en-lalique-4The night was an endless celebration of two brands that share strong and mutual values of creativity, craftsmanship and artistry, both striving for uncompromising quality and excellence.

Landmark Collaboration

Inside each breathtaking bottle of Patrón en Lalique: Serie 1 is an exceptional blend of the oldest and rarest Patrón tequilas, hand-selected from Patrón’s barrel aging room at the Hacienda Patrón distillery in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The extra añejo tequila is aged for at least four years in a combination of new American oak and new and used French oak barrels to achieve the right balance of agave and oak notes.

The partnership, the latest extension of Patrón’s “Art of Patrón” platform (a unique collection of experiences that reflects artists’ uncompromising commitment to their craft), marks the first time that Lalique has collaborated with a tequila brand, and the first time that Patrón has joined with a crystal maker to reimagine the iconic Patrón tequila bottle.

For almost 100 years, Lalique creations have been produced at the Lalique factory in Wingen-sur-Moder, in Alsace, France. In this region of tremendous glassmaking tradition, Lalique’s dedicated craftsmen combine an exceptional mastery of modern techniques and traditional skills throughout the complex crystal making process. Each piece is blown, pressed, fashioned, cut, engraved, polished and signed.

“Patrón and Lalique both share a passion for authenticity, detail and superior quality, and that’s unmistakably demonstrated in the bottle and the liquid in this extraordinary Serie 1 limited edition,” added Brown. “This is truly a rare opportunity for Lalique collectors and spirits aficionados alike.”

Lalique is available at Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-la, and Rustan’s Cebu

By | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

A “jewel” in the heart of Paris

The Boutique is inspired by the covered passageways and galleries of old Paris. It is a showcase for the perfumed world of Maison Francis Kurkdjian, including custom-made fragrances and special orders departments. Playing ontrue and false, it catches the eye and reaches the mind by marrying craftsmanship, talent and artistic affinities.

 Bottles and packaging

Paris, with its grey, zinc roofs and golden  domes, inspired the interior design  of Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Art director Fred Rawyler used these codes to draw the line’s visual identity. Combining ancient and contemporary, he designed the fragrancebottles inspired by a precious flacon found in a luxury antique travel case. He worked the glass as if it were crystal: sharp angles and a flat base, without the curves  that dull the lines. The modern  clean-cut design  allows the transparency of the glass  to expressitself. And in a nod to the master glassmakers, a hallmark-stamp on the back of the bottle signs the “work of art”.

The luxury packaging is full of surprises. The protective outer box, embossed in gold, is recyclable. Within, a sheath fits snugly around the bottle. It is only as you open it to discover the precious flacon that the beautifully hotstamped gilded lining is revealed.

 Music and Decor

Francis Kurkdjian imagined a “shop window” that would delight passers-by “as if it were Christmas every day”. He asked set designer Jean  Hugues  de Châtillon to create  a “pas de deux” between Paris and perfume. Artist Anne Lévine adorned theboutique’s ceiling and counter with gold leaf to echo the shimmering gold of the domes of the Paris landscape. Sound designer Béatrice Ardisson composed the boutique soundtrack, including a recording of Ravel’s “Pavane pour uneInfante Défunte” (Pavane for a Dead Princess), especially interpreted  by pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque for Francis Kurkdjian.Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM

APOM stands for ‘A Part Of Me’, a part of oneself offered to others.  The inspiration for his perfume was a sirocco wind blowing from the East. A tribute to the beauty of the men and women of the Mediterranean shore. It’s a scent to beshared, a fragrant blend of colors, aromas and moments, reflecting that warm, bewitching beauty that one keeps  close. The gentleness of orange blossom and the strength of cedar wood, both symbolic of tenderness.

Spicy – woody – oriental

The oud  that  gives its name  to this creation  comes from Laos,  where  it grows  the purest,  the rarest  and  the most expensive. This natural raw material, somewhere between wood and lichen, is this century’s ambergris. It can no more beoverlooked than the iris from Florence or vetiver from Haiti.

It took Francis Kurkdjian a while to tame oud’s animal nature, to welcome this prince of Arabian perfumes as a charis- matic newplayer in his perfumer’s palette.  From that point on, its story was sketched between the fine-grained sand  of thedesert dunes, the fragrant harmattan wind and the star-studded night – an Arabian perfume  born from a western sensitivity.

Francis Kurkdjian has found some new travelling companions for this fragrant giant: cedar wood from the Atlas Moun-

tains and Indonesian  patchouli. Delicate saffron and whimsical elemi gum add sparks to its opulence.

Its palace is a bottle of One Thousand and One Nights crowned with a golden dome, and set in an exquisite box like a projecting Arabian latticed window. Bewitching, narcotic, mysterious, it is both feminine and masculine.

Eau de parfum natural spray, 70 ml – 2,4 fl.oz. Scented body cream,  150 ml – 5 fl.oz.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian

OUD mood

The OUD mood  collection reflects all the sources of inspiration Francis Kurkdjian found during an alone together  with this exquisite raw material. He imagined them as feelings, sensations, rather like those one would have when wrapped in a fragrant stole. They play on glimmer, comfort and warmth. They are precious, intense and concentrated.

Velvet mood

Oud – woody – spicy

The majestic, enveloping Velvet oud gives the sensation of density and fluidity. Together,  cinnamon  from Ceylan, saffron and Brazilian copahu balm combine  to release  the fragrance  of the oud.

Extrait de parfum natural spray, 70 ml – 2,4 fl.oz.

Silk mood

Oud – woody – rose

This silky oud is a light, airy fragrance reminiscent of the soft touch of a rose petal. It is full of charm and mystery, sketched in Bulgarian rose, with blue chamomile from Morocco and papyrus.

Extrait de parfum natural spray, 70 ml – 2,4 fl.oz.

Cashmere  mood

Oud – woody – oriental

This Oriental fragrance is woven with all the gentleness of a “second skin”, soft and balmy. The Oud is enhanced with

Moroccan  labdanum, Laotian benzoin and vanilla. Extrait de parfum natural spray, 70 ml – 2,4 fl.ozMaison Francis Kurkdjian Amyris

The head in Jamaica and the heart in Florence, Amyris evolves somewhere between the blaze of the sun and the vibrations of the earth,  and expresses the fire of the setting  sun.  The Amyris duo was  born from an encounter between resin and rhizome,brought  together  in two vibrant creations.

Fragrant affinities

Amyris is a sweet-smelling tree, which contains an unctuous orange-yellow resin whose fragrance is gentle and slightly powdery.  The Florentine iris contributes rhizome, a rare and much sought-after raw material. It takes  but one tiny drop ofrhizome to make  a pleasant fragrance  sublime.  The amyris and  iris blend together  to form the Amyris duo  with a blaze that is particular to each.

Amyris femme

Floral – woody

Luminous lemon flower, Californian orange,  Jamaican amyris, Florentine iris, Haitian vetiver, musky amber

Eau de parfum natural spray, 70 ml – 2,4 fl.oz. Scented body cream,  150 ml – 5 fl.oz.

Aqua Vitae

A space  between us

Aqua Vitae was inspired by life, that irresistible attraction shared by billions. A magic breath, a fragrance between one- self and another  person, between you and me, a space between us. Like the shiver of pleasure on the back of the neck justbefore something wonderful occurs. A perfume-based Yin and Yang, at once  fever and fulfillment, with masculine in the feminine and feminine in the masculine.

Aqua Vitae is fresh despite the heat of its spicy top note, its waves of tonka bean, its vanilla caresses where the

Calabrese lemon dances and the Sicilian mandarin plays.

The dazzling sun that shines  through  it is known as hedione.  It is carried by guaiac  wood,  which casts a spell and guarantees it stays in your memory. Carnal by nature and delicate in essence Aqua Vitae triggers an irresistible desire for gentle kisses on the nape of the neck. It produces something of a tiny miracle: caressing the senses and relaxing the body, making it as easy as breathing for the skin to smell good.

An ode to femininity

À la rose is a declaration  of love for all women captured in a fragrance.  Queen of flowers, the rose knows no boundaries and has inspired those in the creative arts since the dawn of time. Poets, painters, musicians… and perfumers alike. All have sought to capture its aura, its magic and its secrets.

A rosy duo in one fragrance

Two varieties of rose have bestowed the radiance and richness of their petals on this Eau de parfum: two hundred and  fifty Centifolia roses  from Grasse (May Rose) in the  form of an absolute produce a very floral base note  with sweet honeyed and carnal accents. One hundred and fifty Damascena roses  from Bulgaria in the form of an essential oil create a top note with a playful blend of pear and lychee.

À la rose has the crisp tenderness of rose petals, a whimsical free-spirited style and an elegance that radiates femininity. Floral – woody

Perricone MD launches Re:Firm, a transformative face treatment designed to restore

skin to its youthful suppleness and form.

Re:Firm

The Inspiration

Dr. Perricone’s passion for the science of healthy aging and beautiful skin has led to the discovery of countless groundbreaking technologies that  continue to raise  the  bar  for what  people  have come  to expect  from traditional skincare.

His latest discovery is no exception.  Inspired by the body’s own skin regenerative compounds, Dr. Perricone has uncovered  the secret to mimicking skin’s own youthful behavior in a proprietary complex that  not only offers superior  results, but delivers ahighly unique  and luxurious  experience.

Introducing Re:Firm, Surface Recovery Complex.

The Story

Harnessing a complex of Dermal  Stim Factors,  combined with DMAE and Alpha Lipoic Acid, Re:Firm is designed  to help  activate  surface  renewal,  instantly transforming skin to a smooth,  porcelain-like finish while working to restore it to its onceyouthful appearance of suppleness and plumpness.

Young skin contains  multiple  regenerative factors – naturally occurring molecules that help to maintain skin elasticity and resiliency.  Environmental stress and the natural aging process deplete these molecules as skin

‘forgets’ to repair and renew.

Dr. Perricone  has discovered a way to mimic the behavior of regenerative factors with Dermal  Stim Factors, delivering an instant conforming and smoothing effect on the skin.

The Experience

The Re:Firm experience  is highly unique.  It begins  as a smooth,  glass-like  solid in the jar that  instantly breaks into a luxurious serum upon contact, creating a micro-wrapping barrier  of powerful and active anti- aging factors. This micro-wrappingacts as both an immediate smoothing transformation and a trigger to begin the skin reforming process.

This solid to serum formula bounces back to a flawlessly smooth surface within seconds after being deformed, mimicking the long-term action on the skin.

The Results

Restored appearance of skin elasticity and dramatic improvements in skin’s ability to bounce back

Improved resiliency, vitality and radiance of youthful skin

Outstanding performance in the smoothing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, non-invasively

Increased hydration and suppleness for a youthful effect

The Science

DERMAL STIM FACTORS  designed to mimic how youthful skin behaves. DMAE to help firm and tone the skin while stimulating surface radiance. ALPHA LIPOIC ACID to smooth  imperfections and re-surface  the skin.

Extraordinary Results

“Tiffany & Co. is synonymous with luxury, glamorous jewels —and romantic love, epitomized by the Tiffany® Setting. Introduced by founder Charles Lewis Tiffany in 1886, the Tiffany® Setting is still the world’s most famous engagement ring today, and a symbol of our reputation for the most beautiful diamonds on earth,” said Erica Kerner, Asia-Pacific Vice-President of Marketing for Tiffany & Co. and host of the Will You? bridal event. “We are so pleased to showcase the scintillating Tiffany & Co. engagement jewelry in the Philippines and to play such an important role in the great love stories of couples here.”

130 years of the Tiffany® Setting

In 1886, Charles Lewis Tiffany introduced the Tiffany® Setting to glorify the solitaire diamond, a symbol of everlasting love. The groundbreaking design had six prongs lifting a round diamond above a slender gold band. It put the beautiful diamonds Tiffany had become famous for on a pedestal and let them shine. Light could literally pass between the ring prongs and through the diamond, heightening its brilliance. This elegant innovation was a departure from other engagement rings that held a stone close to the band. With the design’s completion, Tiffany became the first jeweler to create a signature engagement ring. An instant success, the Tiffany® Setting has remained the ultimate celebration of love for 130 years. The Tiffany engagement ring is available at their store at Rustan’s Makati.  For information, please call 817 8108.Raffles Announces Collaboration with Tiffany (2)
