On this day last year, @diptyque marked its arrival in Jakarta via @luxasia.idn at @plazaindonesia with the opening of the first pop-up store in Indonesia. Time flies — a year has passed since that special day and to commemorate this anniversary moment, I am sharing some photos that I took on the opening day. Reminiscing the warm moment that we got to share as the enthusiasm came rushing in no time; signifying the immense welcome and recipiency from everyone. That occasion was also specifically memorable for me as I managed to post both a reel here and a video on the other platform — which then gained much keenness (and also broke a couple of personal records). Since then, I have made many stops to this beautiful pop-up that always houses a complete collection of everything that this Maison has to offer. I have also got the opportunity with pleasure to host a couple of times — having my dearest and friends over; sharing my love for this brand as we all got to discover more about its richness in art, creativity, and inspiring details. As we are all looking forward to the opening of the first boutique (hopefully soon — but I am certain that it is going to be exquisite as always), I would like to extend my warm greetings to everyone in the Diptyque family and Luxasia Indonesia : @iindriu @nitapuspasari @lia_amelia81 @yosxo @sabrianneprameswari @julvelynatalie and all. Congratulations on this amazing first anniversary milestone of the pop-up! Here is to even more remarkable things to welcome ahead. Tous mes meilleurs vœux - beaucoup d’amour!

Today was another long day, so for my daily check-in — sharing about a lovely afternoon that I spent with my family at one of my favourite places in the city. Finally got to go back to @menard.facialspa after quite a while. It is already September again and I even have not got the chance to redeem my birthday facial gift from last year. Was supposed to also get a facial myself yesterday, but had to cancel due to conflicting online schedule. Nevertheless, still came here to especially bring my parents and sister (brother is out of town) to experience their first facial at Menard Facial Spa. ありがとう ございます @menard.indonesia for having us over. My family enjoyed their facial experience and left with smooth, rejuvenated, and radiant skin to glow ahead. As for me, I will definitely have to come back again soon to have mine. See you all on Sunday!

Summer is coming to an end, but Dioriviera is the kind of fragrance that can be worn year-round and nicely suiting for transitional periods. @diorbeauty @diorbeautylovers #diorbeautylovers

Mid-week pick-me-up. The rest of week (until the next one as well) is going to be quite packed on my end and I still would like to keep up with my consistent daily posting; not allowing myself to “comfortably” fall out of discipline growth. Therefore, while I also post some work commitments and new contents — I thought I might as well make use of the time in between to let (many) unpublished ones out from the long-held and piled up archives.

@alchemist.fragrance recently opened its newest store at @pacificplacejakarta and I got to came in on the opening day to explore, as well as host some of my fellow fragrance-enthusiast friends. Alchemist has undoubtedly become one of the top-of-minds when it comes to our local fragrance industry throughout the years. Not only bringing forth scents to enjoy, what I have always consistently admired from the brand is their exemplary multi-sensorial approach to branding. It is something that I always value and appreciate — hence why the brand has not come out with a plethora of different scents, but sustaining each creation to stay relevant and be remembered. At this new island store (that you can find on Level 2), you can discover everything that Alchemist has to offer — not only perfumes, but also body lotions and diffusers that should not be skipped. Sharing my personal favourites in this reel, but I specifically would like to highlight my go-to layering combo that I love to recommend: {05} Out West + {06} Onirique @maudyayunda — resulting in a unique and balanced melange between earthy woodiness and opulent florality; bold and full of character, yet not overpowering. Another one that I always love especially for layering is {13} Bois et Musc from Les Classiques. Congratulations to Alchemist Fragrance on another wonderful milestone and here is to even more amazing chapters to be unfoled ahead. Onwards and upwards!
