Since its creation in 1959 in Japan, Menard has followed a unique quest: “the search for true Beauty”. The founder Daisuke Nonogawa and his son Junichi, current CEO of the house, have set themselves the goal of developing a global culture of beauty to make life more beautiful for all women and it must be said... Mission accomplished!
Despite its French sound, Menard is indeed a Japanese brand. It takes its name from creatures from Greek mythology: the maenads, goddesses of beauty who favored abundant harvests and brought beauty to men. It is thus a double tribute both beauty and European mythology.
True reference in Asia in terms of cosmetic and cultural excellence, there are day and night creams, masks, eye contour, serums, lotions, emulsions and other make-up removers... really complete range to create a perfect Japanese beauty routine. And even if we would fall for the whole collection, our absolute crush still goes to the day creams, which make us forget all those we have already had, pronto!
La global anti-aging cream Beautifying Day Cream, our darling, comes in a beautiful purple glass jar, like a precious amethyst. This cream fine, soft and velvety provides the daily protection you need (SPF 15) and gives a luminous, radiant complexion. As a result, the skin is plumped up, supple and radiant.
The alternative ? The Saranari Day Cream, equally effective. Comforting and protective, it deeply hydrates, all day long...
But in addition to their top ranges, if Parisiennes love this brand so much, it's especially for amazing care dispensed at theParisian institute of the brand. Upon arrival, we are first dazzled by the chic of the place. In this former jewelry store, you can admire the brand's products in the large original showcases, like precious objects.
Beautiful orchids and other bouquets are scattered here and there, bringing a little romantic touch to this elegant setting.
For our part, we tested the authentic care in their Parisian boutique and the experience was very pleasant… After taking a little green tea as a welcome, we are taken to a pretty spacious treatment room.
Using exceptional products from the Embellir range, the masseuse performs in turn a ultra-relaxing scalp massage, a massage with hot stones and to finish, she applies a hyaluronic acid mask that completely takes the shape of our face...
A true source of tranquility and youthfulness, this 2 hour luxury treatment detoxifies the skin, provides an immediate lifting effect and intensely relieves the mind. A unique experience of well-being from which one emerges soothed and displaying a peach skin !
