Black Book: Celine drops scent of the summer and Bvlgari revisit a watch classic
From new fragrances to summer-chic bags, The National 's Luxury magazine team rounds up the most interesting and noteworthy arrivals in the world of fashion, interiors, fragrance and jewellery. Un Été Français parfum by Celine Celine's new Un Eté Français (A French Summer) fragrance, created by former creative director Hedi Slimane, draws inspiration from long, languid summers in a beach house in Ramatuelle on the French Mediterranean. The latest addition to the brand's Haute Parfumerie collection opens with spicy bergamot and earthy petit-grain, softening into zesty neroli and gorse – a wild coastal flower with a citrus-coconut scent. A warm vanilla base evokes the essence of a French holiday in a bottle. Un Été Français perfume, Dh1,200 for 100ml Rafiafiori by Dolce & Gabbana Dolce & Gabbana nods to a cooler, more laid-back style for summer for 2025. Ditching corsetry and black lace, the Italian masters of Sicilian vamp embrace skinny knit stripes and easy raffia accessories. A pompom raffia tote, hand-cut raffia necklace and cat-eye sunglasses wrapped in Madagascan palm leaf complete the nature-led look with breezy, effortless cool. Raffia tote bag, Dh5,200, Dolce & Gabbana Grain de Café y Cartier A reimagining of Jeanne Toussaint's 1938 motif, Cartier's Grain de Cafe – literally coffee bean – continues to charm. The latest bold, sculptural pieces echo the 1930s origin story while nodding to the glamour of 1950s cocktail jewellery. A standout limited-edition bracelet is crafted around a platinum and diamond spine, with 14 variegated gold beans on either side, each tipped with a white diamond. Meticulously made, each bracelet takes 54 hours to complete. Limited-edition Grain de Café bracelet, price upon request Maison Dioriviera by Dior The Dior universe has expanded to include new homeware pieces inspired by the brand's former womenswear head Maria Grazia Chiuri 's Dioriviera collection. Rooted in travel and reinvention, the storied motifs have been translated into elegant interiors by Dior Maison. The Toile de Jouy Palms print, already seen on bags and ready-to-wear, now adorns a rounded vase crafted by enamelling specialists, Manufacture des Emaux de Longwy. Meanwhile, the signature cannage weave steps off handbags and on to a sleek side table, set in Perspex, and a beach mat ready for stylish escapes. Bvlgari Bvlgari watch turns 50 To mark the 50th anniversary of perhaps its best-known watch, the Bvlgari Bvlgari, the Italian house has unveiled four new variations. Launched in 1975 and reimagined by master watch designer Gérald Genta in 1977, the design remains true to its Roman roots, featuring a signature engraved bezel and minimalist dial. Offered in two sizes – 26mm and 38mm – each features a unique marble dial. The smaller version houses a Solotempo automatic movement, while the larger is powered by the calibre BVL 191.

Travel: A 2-day itinerary for your getaway to Mallorca in Spain
Hospitality, at its core, allows our walls to drop. It creates a space where the self can step forward unmasked; the person behind the performance. I quickly learned what that feels like at Jumeirah Mallorca, in Spain. It expressed itself in golden-hour light, in stillness, and in intuitive gestures. The Goldilocks effect: a balance between attentiveness and calm. On reflection, I arrived needing a reset. (Don't we all?) And what I received was the kind that seeps into your nervous system. A rest from pace, noise, and performance. And don't get me started on the team. I must have spoken to a dozen of them: Nicky, Ruben, Guillermo, Luis, Carla, Annie. I gained so many intangible gifts in my short time with them. Nicky reminded me that it's possible to balance island chill with ambition and grace. Ruben and Guillermo stood quietly by as I tried to weave my (still-broken) thoughts together over my final sunset. Carla and Annie were nothing but charming from the moment I arrived. And Luis sent me home with an incredibly auspicious gift. A quiet encouragement. The kind that says, 'Keep going. You're on your way.' On the first night, I had one of the most extraordinary vegetarian meals I've ever tasted — vibrant, deeply satisfying and perfectly balanced. The standout? A vegan ceviche so delicate and flavourful I still think about it. And as if the evening wasn't magical enough, I found myself seated beside a real-life Pocahontas (of the Mallorcan male variety). And I'm one who hadn't even seen the film. But as I picked his brain over dinner, he spoke to me of ancient traditions, sacred trees, and the island's layered wisdom. I was utterly immersed. Despite the hotel's beauty and barefoot elegance, this was no 'sit by the pool and lounge' sort of trip. Annie, with her effortless charm and contagious energy, was determined for us to see more. And I'm so glad she was. We ventured to Viti Vinci, where scent becomes philosophy, and watched as perfumes were composed like symphonies: layered, subtle, unforgettable. We explored Herodian Art, a space that Katharina made to feel more like a sanctuary than a showroom, where ancient craftsmanship met modern expression with reverence. And at SONMO, short for Son Moragues, we witnessed first-hand the genius of regenerative agriculture that produced the olive oil on my plate. I left with a deeper appreciation for the slow, sacred work of the land. Each of these initiatives works closely with the hotel and reflects its ethos: to collaborate with Mallorca's creatives and stewards, and to help regenerate the very island that welcomes its guests. Almost becoming a presence in its own right, the spirit of hospitality danced through every smile, every conversation, every moment of silence.
