New Opening
MAISON XXII
The journey of MAISON XXII continues ... to the East at Taikoo Place. The main theme of this pop-up store is "LA PETITE BALLADE DE SENTEURS | a fairy journey of scents", introducing different blooms from Les Baux-de-Provence and presenting a series of floral collection curated by MAISON XXII.
Moreover, the store showcases a list of meticulously picked European brands including Carrière Frère, Cousu de Fil Blanc, and Lola James Harper along with their soap, scented candle, and room spray.
New handpicked brands and MAISON XXII floral series will be refreshed every 2 to 3 weeks. Every time you step into the shop you will enjoy a fresh start with a spiritual inspiration of visual and sensory elements. Kiosk A, 1/F, Dorset House, facebook.com/Maisonxxii22/
