Luxury and femininity

Symbol, the new perfume by Marina de Bourbon is a small marvel of beauty. Drawing inspiration from the French tradition, this new fragrance expresses sensuality and reflects a rare elegance. The ultimate expression of luxury and femininity, the fragrance radiates in the head with a fresh and luminous bouquet of white flowers: a honeysuckle with a sweet floral scent and heady notes of Carseringa (white jasmine). The heart is harmonious with a flowery bouquet of tuberose (also called Indian jasmine) and jasmine sambac (Arabian jasmine). The blondwood, the musk and the iris bring a vintage elegance which leaves in its sillage an exuberant, carnal, voluptuous and captivating musing.

A royal signature

Marina de Bourbon‘s perfume Symbol makes the woman travel in a romantic universe. This bouquet of white flowers is highlighted by the sculptural and luminous lines of the bottle. This beautiful goldsmith’s stone is inspired by the woodwork of the Palace of Versailles and embroidery of the eighteenth century.
The bottle, enhanced by the nobility of a crown-shaped golden cape, signs this royal perfume which takes, in its twirling wake, the spirit and heart of a spontaneous, romantic and dreamy woman.

Symbol is available from October in the form of Eau de Parfum Mini 7.5 ml, or in bottles of 30, 50 and 100 ml.

The French group La Martiniquaise is a French company, family run and independent, founded by Jean Cayard in 1934. In the 60s, the company grows with brands like Porto Cruz or Label 5 and more recently with Poliakov. In 1993, the group Bardinet, rum leader in France (Negrita, Dillon, Saint James and Old Nick), joined La Martiniquaise.
Since 2010, numerous acquisitions have consolidated the ascendancy of the group: Boisset‘s spirits branch, 22% of Marie-Brizard, 6% of Belvédère, the Scotch whisky Sir Edward’s and Glen Moray…

This strategic acquisition boosted the group’s sales and strengthened its presence in major international markets such as the United States and Japan.

The concept of Spiritainment

Calvados with the Busnel distillery located in the Pays d’Auge in Cormeilles and Armagnacs with Saint-Vivant in the Gers.

Celebrating the spirit of adventure

Founded in 1923 by a London-based liquor retailer, Berry Bros & Rudd, Cutty Sark was born during the Prohibition in the United States. Captain Bill McCoy, one of the most famous smugglers of the time, helped build his fame. Cutty Sark has been one of Scotland’s most iconic whiskys for 90 years, with a long and distinguished legacy celebrating the spirit of adventure. The name of the whisky comes from the Cutty Sark clipper, a famous three-masted ship that was used for the trade of China tea and New Zealand wool with the United Kingdom.
“This acquisition is a significant step forward in accelerating our international expansion, strengthening our position in Europe and strengthening our presence in key markets such as the United States and Japan,” Jean-Pierre Cayard said.

The brand of scarves and accessories Inouïtoosh presented its new collection at TFWA-WE 2019, an invitation to travel and poetry inspired by traditional Indian works.

Inouïtoosh‘s adventure began eleven years ago in a small shop on the Quai Blavet in Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme, facing the Baie de Somme and its breathtaking landscape of the end of the world. While feeding on this grandiose panorama and this bay ranked among the most beautiful of the world, the two stylists, Lise Guitton and Mathilde Bon, founded Inouïtoosh, a line of scarves and accessories through which all this unique panorama and this indomitable and changing nature are reflected. Bold and elegant, the scarfs are conceived like paintings and tell a story. Inouïtoosh was celebrating a ten years milstone at TFWA-WE 2019, exhibiting for the first time.

A dreamlike bestiary

We dive into the Inouïtoosh collection as we discover an exhibition of paintings based on exoticism and French elegance. As they their travel in far-off lands, the two stylists draw inspiration from the exoticism of the places they go through to populate their creations with tigers (their favorite animal), bisons, colorful birds and monkeys moving from lianas to lianas, tropical nature, lush vegetation, exotic flowers, antique or architectural motifs. This dreamlike bestiary calls home some high quality materials such as silk, wool, cashmere or cotton.

First decade of success

Lise Guitton and Mathilde Bon opened their first Inouïtoosh boutique in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. Four years later, they opened a corner at the Bon Marché on the Left Bank. With the success of their creations, they diversify by launching a first range of leather goods in 2013 and a first ready-to-wear collection in 2015. The following year sees the opening of the address Inouïtoosh in Paris, rue de l’Odeon, before a second shop in Le Marais. Thanks to its creativity and the singularity of its designs, the brand has distinguished itself. Today, Inouïtoosh celebrates its first decade and continues to expand its lifestyle range: accessories, ready-to-wear and home collection whose essence is to make accessible the beauty of a unique know-how, through exotic influences and French elegance.

The manufacturing of Inouïtoosh scarves

Conceived and designed in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, the products are manufactured in India, where ancestral weaving techniques sublimate the alternations of noble materials such as wool, cotton, silk or cashmere. The quality of raw materials is at the center of the brand’s concerns, whose creations are made of 100% natural fibers, so that your scarves and stoles bring you comfort and softness. A relationship of trust has been established between designers, sales teams and manufacturers over the years. A real synergy that has enabled the brand to develop expertise in weaving, printing and embroidery techniques. This know-how makes it possible to obtain an authentic and irregular side, simple in appearance, and yet difficult to work if one wants to maintain an irreproachable quality of finishes.

The extraordinary world of “inouïs” prints

The ready-to-wear line is the result of a new vision for Lise and Mathilde, who wish to reinterpret women’s clothing by adapting it to Inouïtoosh codes. Relaxation, elegance and delicacy are the key words of this easy-to-wear wardrobe, with refinement. For the second season in a row, the style team takes you on a journey through the extraordinary world of inouïs (incredible) prints, by drawing shirts and dresses. Inouïtoosh recently explored the world of home, wishing to create a warm and cozy interior, a real cocoon with exotic touches that we do not want to leave. The cushions, rugs and plaids are an invitation to rest in the heart of the Inouï jungle, where the enchanted bestiary will inspire your dreams.

J’ai dix ans!

It is with this cri du cœur, borrowed from french singer Alain Souchon whose song J’ai Dix Ans! (I’m ten years old!) was a hit, that Inouïtoosh was showing its colors of year 2019 whose creations were presented at Cannes TFWA-WE 2019. In a singular, dreamlike and magical style, the collection is adorned with animal motifs, the spearhead of the brand, flowers, colors, the exotic madonnas and sweets of the iconic bouquets of the nineteenth century… The luxuriance of plants is softened by more sober notes on the fringed or embroidered edges and the gender diversity male-feminine invites itself into collections thought to be worn by all.

Like an exhibition of works of art

Each scarf, bag, cushion or rug is thought of as a work of its own. The collections follow a common thread and let themselves be revealed as an exhibition. The bold colors inspired by Indian paintings rub shoulders with navy blues shades, as well as moe felted “nudes” and beige, to create a subtle palette of colors, both feminine and masculine. These nuances are breaking with the monotony and reinforce the poetic universe of Inouïtoosh. Finally, as a nod to the shining lights of the Bay de Somme, one finds gold and silver reflections in small touches throughout the range.

INCC and Mercedes-Benz presented at TFWA WE 2019 in Cannes a more intense composition of the Mercedes-Benz Man star fragrance.

To celebrate the fifth anniversary of its Mercedes-Benz Man fragrance range, the iconic brand offers the aficionados of the star a woodier virtuoso fragrance, with a more savage twist: Mercedes-Benz Man Intense. The perfume was presented by INCC at TFWA-WE 2019 in Cannes.

Mercedes-Benz Man, the best-seller

125 years after the creation of their first automobile, Mercedes-Benz entered the world of perfumes. The world’s best-known car brand – and main sponsor of the Fashion Week in the world – has granted the INCC Group a worldwide license to create the first Mercedes-Benz fragrance. The men’s fragrance was designed by Paris-based Maître Parfumeur Olivier Cresp. Around a fresh heart of cedar and geranium, symbol of masculine elegance, subtle fruity touches of pear and ambrette. The intense, woody sillage is enhanced by rosewood and oak moss. Mercedes-Benz’ next step in the perfume world was the launch of the Mercedes-Benz Woman fragrance.

Original version or intense version?

Mercedes-Benz Man adds a must to its collection. With the now well-established success of Mercedes-Benz Man – the fragrance that reflects a strong personality and makes the person who wears it unique – the brand’s perfume lovers will have the choice, depending on the time, place and mood, of the original version or the intense version. And why not both! The man who picks up Mercedes-Benz Man Intense is always very charismatic. He naturally attracts attention by his ease in the heart of the action and discussions, in front of the spotlight, on stage or in the evening. Success, daring and adrenaline drive him ever onwards in life.

A woodier, wilder fragrance

To create this intense and very sensual version of Mercedes-Benz Man, perfumer Olivier Cresp has relied on the fundamentals of the original version while adding a touch of modernity. A mixture of tensions and contrasts. On ambrette seeds, pear leaves, geranium and oak moss, are added amber wood, patchouli. The strength of the ambrox extends the sillage, while providing incomparable velvety and sensuality.

A black lacquer design

One of a kind, like all that of Mercedes-Benz Man, the Mercedes-Benz Man Intense bottle has a black lacquer look with an ultra-shiny finish. The bottle is the image of the Mercedes-Benz myth: strength of the silhouette, sensuality of touch, technical prowess. And at its center, a promise, an emblem, a signature: the star set in a solid glass window whose blue is, for this intense version, more powerful. The case brings the final touch to this resolutely masculine object by playing on the brilliance and metallic reflections.

Art of living and perfumes

The INCC Group is a lifestyle perfume manufacturer located in Versailles, a few minutes from the famous castle. “Nothing great has ever been accomplished without passion,” says Rémy Deslandes, INCC Group CEO.

Mercedes-Benz Man Intense will be available from March 2020 and the Travel Collection from July 2020.

Neuhaus’ Maîtres Chocolatiers created six new chocolates that are combining flavor, texture and intensity of cocoa with wine types.

Each praline has its glass of wine: the Belgian chocolatier Neuhaus presented at TFWA-WE 2019 in Cannes, his Wine & Pralines chocolates. Like chocolate, wine is the product of a terroir and know-how. This marvelous companion for pralines has led Neuhaus’ Maîtres Chocolatiers to invent six multi-layered chocolates, each designed to be savored with a specific wine for an explosion of intense emotions.

Internationally renowned sommeliers

In collaboration with sommeliers from the Belgian Gault & Millau team, like sommelier Sepideh Sedaghatnia, the Neuhaus Maîtres Chocolatiers created six new chocolates with superbly balanced cocoa flavors, textures and intensities. Flavored with noble and pure ingredients such as Earl Gray tea, saffron, cardamom and acacia honey, these chocolates are the perfect companion for certain types of wine. Pralines and wines have complex taste profiles and, cleverly associated, they complement each other harmoniously, one enhancing the nuances of flavors of the other.

Almond blossomed with olive oil

Sommelier Almonds: a praliné with a rich and full flavor of almond blossomed with Italian olive oil and enhanced with a pinch of sea salt, with a cocoa flavor on the finish. A praline that harmonizes beautifully with wines with pronounced aromas, white wines with aromas of green fruits, citrus fruits, exotic fruits and stone fruits such as peach and apricot. With hints of vanilla, brioche and cream.

Spicy nut flavor and hints of honey

Sommelier Honey: a tenderly crunchy hazelnut praliné, flavored with cardamom and acacia honey, topped with a refined milk chocolate. This spicy nut-flavored praline, with hints of honey, goes perfectly with light and floral wines: white wines with exotic fruit aromas, citrus fruits and green fruits such as pear and apple. With hints of flowers, such as elderflower, chamomile and honeysuckle, and spices such as ginger and fennel.

Intense flavor of seeds

Sommelier Grains: an almond praline with pumpkin and sunflower seeds, coated with Dulcey chocolate powder and paprika. Its intense flavor of crispy almond followed by the intense flavor of the seeds goes along well with dry white wines and macerated white wines, with more earthy aromatic notes, salty spices and more exotic fruits. A tasty wine brings out the sweetness of chocolate, in delicate balance to the robustness of the seediness of the praline.

Spicy and slightly bitter praline

Sommelier Earl Gray: a slightly spicy ganache on a basis of Earl Gray tea, with mango purée and a touch of acacia honey. This spicy and slightly bitter praline with hints of tea, mango and berries perfectly matches a powerful and intense wine: red wines with aromas of dried fruits, plums, licorice and pepper. With notes of chocolate, vanilla and clove and hints of fig.

Spices, fruits and intense cocoa taste

Sommelier Cherry: a ganache with a strong taste, based on chocolate from Costa Rica (64% cocoa) and cherries, filled with white chocolate and blackcurrant cocoa butter. This spicy and fruity praline with intense cocoa and cherry flavor in the finish will be accompanied by round and smoked wines. Red wines with aromas of black fruits, licorice, violet and dried fruits like figs and plums. With notes of vanilla, clove and nutmeg and hints of fig.

Freshness and power

Sommelier Saffron: a delicate layer of white chocolate covers a round and powerful ganache, based on chocolate from Colombian origin (70% cocoa), embellished with blackberries, aromatic saffron, spicy and rosemary honey. This fresh and powerful praline, with hints of blackberries, saffron, white chocolate, goes perfectly with light and fruity red wines: wines with aromas of red berries such as strawberries, raspberries and currants and with hints of flowers, herbs and pepper.

The Wine Pairing Box contains 24 chocolates to enjoy with a glass of wine.
