Darphin
The art of formulation.
Pierre Darphin was a master skin scientist, passionate botanist, and highly skilled Kinesiotherapist. He was also a man who greatly admired women. So, he selected precious, botanicals, captured their essence at the peak of potency, blended them meticulously to create the most exquisite, high-performance formulas. And perfectly prescribed how to indulge in them through his precise skin sculpting massage and beauty rituals. All to make every woman feel like the most beautiful woman alive. Every day.

Our advertising campaign revealed an intimate and candid peak into a woman’s boudoir – as if we stumbled upon it just as she left the room. The result: The Darphin “je ne sais quoi” was reestablished.
