The definition of beauty product is clear: a material or device for the purpose of enhancing physical attractiveness.
We prefer to give it a more intimate and perhaps more modern meaning.
It’s a cuddle, it’s a way to feel better. It has no sex and no age (luckily).
Today the TAKE10 column is dedicated to the ten best beauty products released on the market in recent weeks.
Valentino Beauty – Anatomy of Dream: A haute-couture perfumery collection
Typology: Parfums
Description: A reverie brought to life by master perfumers, blending Italian memories with modern elegance — this is the olfactive dream of Maison Valentino. Inspired by a Roman Palazzo where each room hides a scent, a story, a feeling, the journey unfolds through seven spaces: The Private Theater, Banquet Room, Romantic Garden, Secret Stairs, Fitting Salon, Roman Roof, and Hidden Room.
Each fragrance is a bold composition — classical notes clash with Italian accords, defying gender and time. From black pepper and milk foam to oud and almond, rose and green tangerine to vanilla and olivewood — seven unexpected blends form a collection of scents as intricate and visionary as couture.

Amouage Reveals The Final Chapter of the Odyssey Collection with two new fragrances
Typology: Parfums
Description: Amouage presents the final chapter of the OdysseyCollection, a duo of new perfumes portraying the power of the infinite.
Jebel Shams – Arabic for ‘mountain of the sun’ – is the highest point in Oman, rising to around 3,000 m. Those wishing to reach its peak have to navigate a rugged, off-road track, before leaving their car and embarking on a four-hour trek on foot.
The sight of the ancient juniper trees marked a pivotal moment in Salmon’s journey. Revered in Oman, these trees endure fierce electrical storms, with some perishing while others survive—scarred but resilient. According to local legends, their wood acquires a mystical quality, often burned at home like Frankincense.
As he ascended toward the summit, dense clouds enveloped the mountains, obscuring the land below. Surrounded only by sky above and mist beneath, he experienced a defining moment—one of solitude, elevation, and the raw power of nature.
Returning to reality, one certainty remained: his journey had to be captured in perfume for Amouage. He shared his vision with perfumer Quentin Bisch, sparking months of creative exchanges. After extensive trials, they distilled the essence of Jabal Shams into two majestic fragrances: Decision and Existence.
