↑ 16%Beauty: Chanel ushers in a new era with the appointment of Lucia Pieroni. 3 hours ago Automated translation Read the original in French Luxury house Chanel has announced the appointment of Lucia Pieroni as creative director of makeup, a role she will assume from this September, according to a statement from the brand. In her new role, Lucia Pieroni will work closely with the makeup creation studio. She will report directly to Simona Cattaneo, the company's president of fragrance and beauty. Return to a single creative direction. While the position of creative director of makeup is not new at Chanel, having been held by Lucia Pica from 2015, the house had recently changed its course. In 2022, the brand partnered with a trio of emerging talents, Ammy Drammeh, Cécile Paravina and Valentina Li, to bring a collaborative approach to its cosmetics. The arrival of Pieroni therefore marks a return to a single artistic direction. The brand's executives highlight the importance of this appointment for the evolution of the cosmetics division. Alain Wertheimer, global executive chairman, and Leena Nair, global chief executive officer, believe that the new director's expertise will bring a fresh perspective, strengthening the dynamism of the makeup segment. Simona Cattaneo highlights Lucia Pieroni's instinct for perceiving the individuality of faces and offering an expressive cosmetic approach. "Lucia has an extraordinary instinct for beauty," she stated. "To be chosen to join Chanel is a great honour," said Lucia Pieroni. "I look forward to sharing my artistic vision at a particularly exciting time in Chanel's history." The director is referring to the momentum driven by Matthieu Blazy, Chanel's artistic director since 2025, whose collections have achieved both commercial and critical success. The makeup artist has already worked with Blazy, starting with his first fashion collection for Chanel, presented in October 2025. Expressing her excitement, Pieroni also wrote on her Instagram account: "I am delighted to finally be able to tell you that I have been appointed makeup artistic director at Chanel." According to the same source, she also worked for Givenchy under the direction of Sarah Burton. She also appeared in the brand's autumn/winter 2025 campaign. A solid international career. Before joining the French house, Pieroni built a solid international career. Originally trained in painting, she integrated this artistic dimension into her approach to beauty from the beginning of her career in London. In 1995, she moved to New York where she collaborated with avant-garde artists and renowned fashion photographers. She honed her creative direction experience between 2006 and 2019, serving as the makeup creative director for Clé de Peau Beauté, a brand owned by the Shiseido group. According to the financial report published by the Chanel group in May 2026, fragrances and skincare were the main drivers of the Fragrance and Beauty division's performance. The company cited the success of Chance Eau Splendide, a new women's fragrance and the first in eight years. The brand has also just launched a new fragrance named Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu. appointment Lucia Pieroni
These £12.99 Boots fragrances rival luxury Chanel and Glossier. These five scents are making it hard to tell the difference between drugstore and luxury The Standard's journalism is supported by our readers. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. There are five new fragrances in the collection 3 hours ago Standard Shopping I would like to be emailed about offers, event and updates from Evening Standard. Read our privacy notice. On your next Boots trip where you inevitably pick up a plethora of products you didn't initially go in for, maybe wander over to the new-in aisle and discover Boots' latest release. Long overdue, the highstreet hero has released five new fragrances in its collection, Boots Last Note, all priced at an extremely reasonable £12.99. The idea of the eau de parfums is for there to be a lasting impression, for you to feel the lingering 'last note'. We've recently seen just how good high street brands can be, with M&S' Studio perfumes and Apothecary line being firm favourites. The natural next step for Boots has not disappointed, with no skimping on quality, despite the pleasing price. The five scents hit all profiles from musky to fresh - including Into the Orchard, a fruitier spritz with a warm depth, and Soft Island Drift, something for those after their next holiday scent. These are the three scents that I think hit all the right notes. Boots Last Note eau de parfum vanilla portrait. Dupe for: Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Intense 50ml, £117, Harrods.com With top notes of Bergamot and Peach, balanced out but the warm base notes of Vanilla, Amber and Musk, Boots have created a scent profile that feels mature for Vanilla instead of a typical sickly sweet fragrance. The floral notes of Rose, Patchouli and Jasmine work harmoniously to sooth the sweetness and create a scent similar to Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Intense. Boots Last Note eau de parfum Echoes of You. Dupe for: Glossier You 50ml, £70, Glossier.com The perfect everyday scent, Echoes of You provides that just stepped out the shower, clean but not overpowering smell. The opening notes of pink pepper and balm move seamlessly into iris, cashmere musk and the driving note, lily of the valley. Think crisp but airy spring morning. The Boots fragrance evokes similar feelings to the slightly softer, Glossier You, which shares notes of Iris and Pink Pepper. Boots Last Note eau de parfum Velvet Bouquet. Dupe for: Giorgio Armani My Way 50ml, £102, Boots.com A contemporary floral fragrance that rivals Giorgio Armani My Way, Velvet Bouquet exudes a fresh but soft scent profile. The initial hit of bergamot, mandarin, pear and baies rose smoothly settle into jasmine, neroli, orange flower and rose. To counter the fragrance from veering into grandma-esque territory, the base notes of musk, ambrette, amber, vanilla and kashmir fusion keep the scent warm and not overpoweringly floral. MORE ABOUT
