The launch took place at that fabi Mediterranean resto and bar, Mati in Rockwell Center. Living up to its name, the event made miracles happen by "auctioning" four of Manille’s most eligible bachelors and donating all proceeds to the Little Miracles Foundation established by gorgeous Bianca Araneta, no less. The foundation makes it possible for street children to go to school.
Miracle Homme, dahlings, is a fragrance that helps men to leave their mark in the world.
With this in mind, palanggas, Lancome chose four Miracle men because of their (self-made) success in their specific fields of expertise: entrepreneur extraordinaire Juan Miguel Ongsiako; golfer Juami Rocha; businessman Fitz Puyat; and top event organizer, Bigfish’s Domini Primero.
Miracle Homme, dahlings, is available in all Lancome counters (Rustans Makati, Shangri-La and Alabang Town Center).
