CLARINS has always cared for the hands, which are constantly exposed to harsh environmental factors and ageing, to keep them youthful, beautiful and comfortable. A cult beauty product for over 30 years, Hand and Nail Treatment Cream is a highly effective, complete skin care which nourishes, smoothes, regenerates and beautifies the extremities we use so much. It has been my favorite product to care for my hands since ages.

Today, the famous beauty brand celebrates this success and launches a collection of 3 limited editions, adding three subtle fragrances to the legendary formula of Hand and Nail Treatment Cream: orange leaf, white tea leaf and fig leaf.

The three new scented versions of the original legendary formula offer the irresistible combination of three subtle fragrances with a unique beauty care, to keep hands looking youthful and beautiful all the way to the fingertips like invisible, scented beauty gloves. Fine, smooth and non-oily, Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Creams do not leave hands feeling greasy and do not stain. They are easy to apply and quickly absorbed.

Discover their new small tubes! Handy and easy to use, great for travelling, the new 30ml tubes, with their pretty leaf prints, make this essential daily skin care step nothing less than a daily beauty experience.

Orange leaf
Called the “golden apple” in Greek mythology, the orange is a symbol of wealth and fertility. The deliciously sweet fragrance of orange leaf is known for its relaxing properties.

Fig leaf
Evocative of the Mediterranean sun, fig leaf is a pure expression of the tree in full leaf at the height of summer. Its sunny, vibrant fragrance is also reminiscent of cool, woody shade.

White tea leaf
Gentle, exquisite white tea leaf is of a rare purity. Its fragrance gives a fresh, delicate quality to the cream.

All good reasons to take care of your hands even more often, to leave them looking and feeling softer and more beautiful, day after day!

Available from June 6, 2016 for CHF 15.00 (30ml) each.

For Spring 2012, the “Jean Paul Gaultier Classique X Collection” has launched a lighter variation:

This time the legendary bottle is transparent and dressed in calligraphy to better reveal the crystalline soft pink fragrance.

I love Jean Paul Gaultier’s new fragrance for men “Kokorico”.

Fig leaf, patchouli, cedar, cocoa and vetiver together exhale pure masculinity with a feminine accent.

A striking trompe l’oeil bottle, a man’s face when viewed from the front that turns into a sexy and virile torso in profile.

And here is a little teaser of what is coming next:

Jean Paul Gaultier’s new limited edition 2012 summer fragrances “Urban Jungle”
which will be in stores in May 2012.

Classique Summer 2012 (for women) opens with fresh notes of clementine from Sicily, rose and orange blossom. Exotic flower of ylang-ylang forms the perfume’s heart note together with petals of jasmine, lily of the valley and white iris, while the base notes are oriental and warm with amber, vanilla and fresh musk.

Le Male Summer 2012 (for men) begins with fresh aromatic accords of lavender, mint and cardamom. The heart exudes green – it contains notes of green leaves and grass. Vanilla, sandalwood and musk complete this composition.

Limited Edition Le Male Summer 2012, Eau de Toilette, 125ml (CHF 80.-)

The signature bottles in the shape of male and female torsos and their can boxes are decorated with vivid design inspired by safari, an urban jungle, tropical leaves, flowers and vines.

Can you smell summer already?
