“There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.” — Kahlil Gibran
A fragrant scent with a playful balance of exuberance, passion and seduction infused the air as the internationally renowned label Charriol recently celebrated a first in the Asia-Pacific — the grand launch of Charriol’s perfume line in Manila. Led by dapper Charriol founder and CEO Philippe Charriol along with his stunning wife Olga, the event was a huge success. Perfume aficionados, designers, socialites and dignitaries flocked to the fabulous event. Seen gracing the affair were Vice President Noli de Castro, Environment Secretary Lito Atienza, Cofinluxe president Jean-Pierre Grivory, Watsons Personal Care Stores COO Robert Sun, Prestige Group of Companies CEO Vinod Dadlani and COO Michel Beaugier, among many others.
In a royal gold, purple and silver motif, guests were treated to an enchanting evening of sumptuous cocktails, a poignant ballet performance by the young ladies of STEPS and an engaging sample of the brand. Charriol’s enticing gift pack which included a limited edition Alexandre Steel Cable watch was auctioned for the benefit of the STEPS Scholarship Foundation under the helm of director Sofia Zobel Elizalde. L’ Art de Vivre la Difference, congratulations to Charriol and to Sofia for investing their time and resources to help the gifted Filipinos fulfill their dreams in the art of dance!
