PROMOTED CONTENT: French haute perfumery, skincare and makeup house Guerlain is celebrating the launch of its new-generation age-defying skincare Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile with a travel retail exclusive pop-up store in partnership with The Shilla Duty Free at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1.

Running from 9 April – 19 May and situated in the departure transit hall, the ground-breaking 70sq m outpost celebrates the art of creation as it introduces Asia Pacific travel retail consumers to a new dimension of luxury and sophistication.

Visitors will discover radiant displays and dedicated services areas for personalised beauty consultations and specialised facial treatments.

In unveiling the Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile franchise, Guerlain presents a new path to rejuvenation in cosmetics with a new mythical orchid, master of light and breakthrough scientific territory that pushes the boundaries of longevity, encapsulated in high-tech codes.

The Gold Nobile Orchid takes centre place on a podium illuminated by light beams as consumers are invited to discover the new golden routine on luminous columns.

Extravagant orchid compositions fall from the ceiling above the centrepiece to immerse visitors in a unique universe, accentuated by satiny gold curves to express the premium positioning of Gold Nobile.

The exclusive outpost also features the Changi-first Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile Alcove Facial Services in Singapore, tailored for travellers, plus the debut of the Exceptional Piece Perle Impériale Millésime 2024 by Swarovski, unique to travel retail Asia Pacific.

Emma Behaeghel, Asia Pacific Director of Guerlain, said: “It is our pleasure to join forces with Changi Airport Group and Shilla Duty Free for the exclusive launch of the Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile Changi 1st pop-up. Through an immersive journey within the space, the opportunities for indulgent self-care in our alcove, and the introduction of this extraordinary premium skincare line as well as the display of our exceptional pieces, we aim to redefine the travel retail experience for travellers, inspiring a new realm of exploration.”

Jeff Lee, Vice President, Managing Director of The Shilla Duty Free Singapore, said: “The Shilla Duty Free in Singapore seeks to introduce luxurious, captivating activations to engage our travellers. We are proud and excited to collaborate with Guerlain, a legendary French perfumes and cosmetics house, to create a unique, eventful outpost to showcase their exquisite Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile launch in Changi Airport.”

Deep dive into the Alcove

Luxury beauty services are offered at the private alcove, accompanying an exclusive travel retail set.

A grand opening for the Changi outpost took place on Thursday 18 April and was boosted by the presence of Guerlain’s Global Brand Ambassador and world-renowned celebrity pianist and singer-songwriter Gina Alice.

Customers seeking indulgent self-care and a little pampering to heighten the senses can spend time in the alcove, choosing services such as the Nobile hand massage and self-massaging coaching gestures, expertly guided by skilled therapists and enhanced with the ancient healing powers of Gua Sha for 10 minutes of serenity, tranquility and pure escapism.

An exploration of elegance is achieved via the bespoke fragrance consultation, where luxury fragrance creations from L’art & La Matiere await discovery by customers in five minutes.

Departing with an ethereal glow is made possible with a flash makeup session, a seven-minute transformation that elevates one’s features for a touch of instant allure.

Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile takes its inspiration from the orchid, queen of the plant kingdom with 30,000 species.

The flower is the quintessence of the Orchidée Impériale skincare range, with cells emitting particles of light, giving way to a breakthrough in scientific technology to change the world of cosmetics and give rise to a new, prodigious skincare collection.
