Take a tumble down the rabbit hole and traverse the wonderland of KAYALI with the Rose Royale 31 Eau de Parfum. Crowned the 'Queen of Flowers' – the heady, sweet and arcane notes of the ever-alluring rose is entwined around the heart of this scent, before lulling you deeper into its undergrowth to a banquet of juicy pear and sweet peaches, blushed and ripened under springs warmth. A sunburst of dewy pink peony, velvety violet wood and purple musk cascades and evokes the majesty of the antiquity era, summoning scenes of pearl-laced gowns, monarchs dripping in jewels, courteous operas and palatial palaces simmering in secrets and scandal. Roll out the red carpet, straighten your crown and cloak yourself in this empowering mist to feel like the diamond that you are.

Soft, silky and irresistibly sweet, a slick of the Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum is a sensation akin to sinking into the warm indulgence of a doughnut on a languid Sunday morning. With shades and flavours inspired by the picnic-primed confectionery – from rich, creamy chocolates to sun-ripened peaches – this treatment perfects your pout in a luscious, light-reflecting shine and kiss of smooth colour. Whipped up with a flurry of skincare goodness, it’s packed with argan ceramides to cherish your moisture barrier and a sprinkle of polypeptides to plump and hydrate. The cherry on top? The ring, plush applicator – irreverently sculpted to echo the spherical silhouette of a doughnut and carve the contours of your lips. We’ll take one to go, please!

Enriched with nourishing organic jojoba and wildcrafted buriti oils, it’s also developed with the brand’s sugar-derived wet powder technology to enhance with a whisper of gold or intensify to reveal a light-scattering shimmer that lasts from the first light of morning to the moonlit revelries of night. Now, we’ll toast to that.

Lightweight and cloud-soft on the skin, it also stars hardworking olive squalane to soothe and hydrate the skin, while targeting acne scarring, remedying sun damage and reducing pigmentation. Simply apply morning and night to cocoon your skin in sumptuous radiance. We heard through the grapevine it’s set to become your new non-negotiable!
