THE CAMPAIGN

LOEWE Perfumes Evergreen Collection

LOEWE Perfumes has unveiled a new campaign celebrating its fragrance universe through the lens of Spain’s diverse landscapes. Fronted by the latest addition to the line-up, ‘Aire Sutileza Elixir’, the visual story pairs each scent with a distinct natural backdrop inspired by its olfactory profile – from wildflower fields to mineral rock formations. The result is a striking, nature-led campaign that reinforces the house’s growing reputation for marrying scent with strong visual storytelling.

Available in 18 shades, it’s a great one-and-done product.

K18 TripleBright Oxidation Defense Purple Shampoo

K18 has reimagined purple shampoo with TripleBright – a next-generation formula designed to do more than simply tone brassiness.
