Brad Pitt launches his debut skincare line Le Domaine
On September 21, the renowned actor announced the debut of Le Domaine, a genderless skincare line. While much information isn’t available just yet, according to sources, the line is vegan with special attention to sustainability by using refillable packaging capped with lids of oak wood, upcycled from wine barrels. Currently, the luxury skincare line has three products, including a facial serum ($385), a daily moisturiser ($320) and a cleansing foam ($80). The fluid cream ($320) will be available in January 2023. The products are bottled in black glass with lid corks, presented in a chic white and orange box. “The goal is to imitate the organic cycles of nature, its primaeval beauty. There is no waste in nature. Anything left over or discarded becomes food for something else. This exemplary circular system is the inspiration for Le Domaine,” said Brad Pitt in an official statement.

Now the final scent has arrived with a distinctive profile, inspired by one very famous London street, Mayfair.

The fragrance is based on a singular ingredient -iris butter, with notes of cedar, vetiver, bergamot and juniper.
