Dior said the 93-square-metre boutique offers “the most exquisite shopping experience for customers, delivering the excellence and savoir-faire of Dior”.

Customers can discover Dior jewellery designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri alongside Dior beauty collections. The boutique offers an array of new creations and limited-edition offers exclusive to Four Seasons Macau.

“Our new boutique showcases the best product offers and best-in-class services that the house of Dior has to offer,” said LVMH Beauty travel retail APAC managing director Andre Marzloff.

“Our goal is to create a multi-sensorial customer experience together with our partners that will make it a personally curated and memorable shopping experience for any client visiting us at the Shoppes at Four Seasons.”

“We are delighted to partner with Dior to open the very first Dior beauty and jewellery boutique in Macau,” said DFS Group senior vice president, beauty, Amael Blain.

“With our pioneering vision, DFS continues to innovate by bringing customer experiences to the next level in all its stores. This new luxurious space is yet another example of retail excellence with a high level of personalisation and services – from premium fragrance offers, a bespoke treatment space and an exclusive fashion jewellery collection.

The fragrance line-up features scents from in-house perfumer Francis Kurkdjian plus house classics such as J’adore and Miss Dior alongside signature men’s perfumes including Sauvage.

Customers are invited to have their bottles personalised with what Dior described as the most premium engraving service that exists today.

The makeup counter offers a glimpse into the workings of Dior beauty maestro Peter Philips, featuring a range of his creations and house icons such as Rouge Dior and Dior Forever.

The Dior Addict lipstick, a recent launch dubbed as “the icon for extreme shine”, is designed as a fashion accessory, Dior noted. It begins a new chapter in the Dior story, the brand added, offering four new couture cases inspired by the house’s fashion creations.

Each of the cases is adorned with the deconstructed Dior oblique logo on the side. Among the four limited-edition cases, the burgundy oblique version with its design inspired by Dior’s canvas expertise is available exclusively at the boutique.

In addition to providing the latest makeup trends and techniques, Dior beauty consultants are on hand to share their extensive know-how and personalised makeup tips.
