<div><strong>Diptyque Proudly Debuts Orphéon Eau de Toilette Collection</strong></div><p>Inspired by the legendary jazz club beside DIPTYQUE’s boutique at 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain in the sixties, the Orphéon Eau de Parfum has had a well-deserved cult-following since its launch in 2021. This year, the luxury fragrance house extends the Orphéon legacy with the Eau de Toilette collection.</p><p>Imagined by perfumer Natalie Cetto, the EDT collection takes on a fresher form with citrus notes taking center stage in its opening. The fusion of green tangerine and Japanese yuzu, plus an unexpected scent of spices like juniper berries, pink peppercorn, and ginger give the scent an unexpected personality. It&#x27;s then grounded with delicate floral notes, rose and magnolia, and rounded out by notes of woody cedar and musk. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1773909698980diptyque orpheon.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Diptyque Orphéon</span></span></span></div><p>For its much-anticipated debut, celebrities, creatives, and fragrance lovers all gathered for a night of olfactory musing, smooth tunes, and good food at Got Soul MNL.

We&#x27;ve tried a lot of Japanese products, and it&#x27;s safe to say they truly live up to the hype. One new discovery we&#x27;ve made is Suisai by Kanebo&#x27;s Powder Wash capsules, which recently became available at Mitsukoshi Mall in BGC. The capsules, which come in five variants, are meant to address different skin concerns. The capsules are a great pick, especially for frequent travelers, as you don&#x27;t need to lug around liquid facial washes, risking the possibility of spillage. <strong></strong></p><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1773911858358Screen Shot 2026-03-19 at 4.33.14 PM.png" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Suisai</span></span></span></strong>The product, as stated in its name, comes in powder form, and forms a bouncy lather when mixed with water. You pour the powder onto your palm, slowly add water, and whisk it with your fingers until it forms a lather as big as a lemon. Once you have that, you can then apply the lather gently onto your face and wash off after. Suisai is available in the following variants: Powder Wash N (white) for skin impurities, Black Powder Wash for stickiness and shine, Gold Powder Wash for rough texture due to dryness, Green Powder Wash for acne-prone skin, and Pink Powder Wash for combination skin. <em>Suisai is available at Kanebo, G/F MItsukoshi Mall BGC. </em></div>
