DIOR BEAUTY HOUSE

Not only is this the first dedicated Parfums Christian Dior boutique in an airport worldwide, it is also the only airport in the Asia-Pacific region where you can purchase the brand’s La Collection Privee fragrances. Another bonus: it carries travel-exclusive products not available in local Dior boutiques.

BUY

Travel exclusives such as the brand’s La Collection de L’Avenue Montaigne (price unavailable), a five-piece set comprising miniature versions of bestselling Dior fragrances, including J’Adore EDP, Dior Addict Eau Fraiche EDT and Miss Dior EDP. Totally adorable and gift-worthy! Also worth buying is one (or more!) of the scents from the brand’s most premium fragrance line, La Collection Privee, which isn’t commonly found in other airports. If you have time to spare, sit down for a consultation with one of the brand’s fragrance specialists – you’ll be asked a series of questions before the specialist selects a scent from the range that fits your personality perfectly.

TRY

One of the speedy (it’ll only take 20 minutes) makeovers on the menu – choose between Catwalk Eyes, Couture Lips and Runway Complexion – for a look that is as stylish as it is boardroomready. Besides dolling you up, the beauty advisor will give you tips on how to recreate the look yourself (think of it as a flash makeup class).
