If there’s is one enduring icon in fragrance, it is Chanel Nº5. The fragrance has been an essential of every it-girl of the last century, from Marilyn Monroe to Marion Cotillard, and now the fragrance welcomes another icon as its latest face. Australian actress and producer Margot Robbie has been an ambassador to the House since March 2018, and she will be fronting the upcoming Nº5 campaign.

“I think CHANEL N°5 is one of the most iconic fragrances in the world. It’s incredible to be a part of it,” says Robbie on her new appointment. “There’s such an impressive lineage of women who’ve been associated with the fragrance over the years. I am very honoured to be joining that long list of incredible talents.”

The new Chanel Nº5 campaign will be unveiled in October 2024.

Lancôme’s Génifique Ultimate Spaceship takes off

Singapore was buzzing with the anticipation of two icons this month: Got7 alum BamBam and the all-new Lancôme Génifique Ultimate Serum. The Thai rapper and singer made an appearance at the Génifique Ultimate Spaceship pop-up to unveil the latest generation of the iconic serum, and it was a night to remember.

Located on the Ngee Ann City Pedestrian walkway along Orchard Road, the Génifique Ultimate Spaceship is the ultimate sensorial experience. Decked out with various activities designed to help visitors get an inside look into the new Génifique Ultimate Serum formulation, it’s a must-see for skincare enthusiasts. Here’s what to expect from the experience:

The journey begins at the Mission Control room, where visitors will use a digital passport to participate in The Ultimate Space Mission game. Here, the top five scorers stand a chance to win a Génifique Ultimate 30ml bottle. Then, after completing the game, visitors will have their Lancôme Space Crew ID Photo taken, which will be printed for them as they enter the next area. In the main hub of the ‘Spaceship’, the newly minted member of the Lancôme Space Crew can then explore the new formula, enjoy a complimentary consultation at the Beauty Tech Lab, receive a complimentary Pro-Radiance Booster Service or get an online skin diagnosis through Lancôme’s E-Skin Expert Virtual Tool. Then, upon exiting, visitors will receive a Top-Secret Kit that includes a seven-day trial of the Génifique Ultimate serum.

The Génifique Ultimate Spaceship is open to the public until the 20th of September. Sign up for a slot to visit the experience here.
