By Far isn't the only international brand to join Melrose Place's comeback. Three months after we teased its arrival, Biologique Recherche has debuted its first-ever Ambassade in the United States on the stylish Los Angeles shopping stretch.
Now open at the corner of Alfred Street (in the spaces formerly occupied by ReBag and The Apartment by The Line), the 5,000-square-foot Maison is now serving up personalized face, body, and scalp treatments; that visage-pleasing (but trés fragrant) P50 Lotion and more luxe skincare products that are notoriously hard to find beyond the Champs-Elysées in Paris, where Biologique Recherche's global flagship is located.
Boasting interiors designed by Joanne de Lépinay (who dreamed up the original Ambasadde in Paris) the two-story beauty haven houses a retail area, a hair salon for scalp treatments, and diagnostic stations on the ground floor, while the upper level boasts five treatment rooms and an airy VIP suite, complete with a separate changing room, shower and with a private entrance.
Clients can experience customized "routine prescriptions" (as they're called by the brand) via BR's three-stage assessment that involves the Skin Instant Lab, the VisioLab and My Beauty DNA diagnostic tools. The shelves offer Biologique Recherche's full range of plant-powered cleansing treatments, lotions, quintessential and targeted serums, face and body creams, masks and more for smoothing, firming, toning, hydrating, brightening and regenerating the skin.
That means luxe beauty buffs can get their Lait E.V. and VIP O2 straight from the source — otherwise, BR devotees will have to head to other exclusive stockists (including Hollywood facialist Melanie Grant across the way or SLS Hotel's Ciel Spa, to name a few).
