SOUTH KOREA. Lancôme Travel Retail Asia Pacific has launched the new Lancôme Absolue Soft Cream in style at Lotte Duty Free’s flagship downtown store in Myeong-dong, Seoul.
The two-day event was held on 26-27 September and was attended by over 150 VIPs and KOLs.
As reported, the event was the latest in Lancôme’s stellar VIP event series, following the success of the L’Oréal Group-owned brand’s two VIP events with CDF-Sunrise Duty Free earlier this year.
The new Lancôme Absolue Soft Cream features a Grand Rose extract-infused formula that promotes skin regeneration and is claimed to create a glowing complexion within seven days.
Lancôme’s glamorous launch event began in Lotte Duty Free’s Star Lounge in Myeong-dong. The event space design was inspired by Lancôme’s emblematic rose insignia and featured more than 10,000 fresh roses.
Guests were invited to discover the universe of Lancôme Absolue through a series of different experiential zones. The journey began with the digital rose room, followed by a one-on-one skincare consultation, a signature hand massage, and finally completed with a luxurious gift courtesy of Lancôme.
Some of the event’s superstar attendees included Korean singer and actor Rain, Korean model Lee Dahee, Girls’ Generation member Seohyun, and Korean actor Lee Jinwook.
According to Lancôme Travel Retail Asia Pacific General Manager Tao Zhang, the event is the first of many, as Lancôme continues to elevate the luxury customer experience. She said, “We are immensely proud to be presenting the latest Lancôme Absolue Soft Cream to Lotte Duty Free VIPs. Thanks to our strong partnership with Lotte Duty Free, we are able to better our engagement with luxury beauty consumers and create this all-immersive journey for them to experience the amazing regenerative capabilities of our new product.”
The sentiment was echoed by Lotte Duty Free Store Manager Seong-hyun (Steve) Park who added: “It is our pleasure to collaborate with Lancôme for this iconic VIP event.
