Hosted by Virginie Courtin-Clarins, the intimate gathering brought together both French and international talent, models, creators and media to celebrate Clarins’ pioneering expertise in skin longevity and the new generation of Double Serum Eye.
During one of the most anticipated weeks on the global fashion calendar, Clarins brought together the worlds of beauty, science and wellbeing for an intimate Longevity Dinner at iconic Parisian restaurant KONG, celebrating the new generation of Double Serum Eye.
Hosted by Virginie Courtin-Clarins, the evening welcomed approximately 50 guests from France and the United States including Nara Smith, Kelly Piquet, Brooks Nader, Thylane Blondeau, Alice Taglioni, Camille Lou, Olivia Palermo, Lady Emelia and Lady Eliza Spencer and many more. Set against the backdrop of Paris Fashion Week—when leading voices across fashion, beauty and culture converge in the French capital—the evening offered a distinctly Clarins perspective on longevity: looking and feeling your best through a holistic approach that brings together science, beauty, nutrition and lifestyle.

“Fashion Week is a unique moment when the world comes together in Paris, and it’s important for Clarins to be part of that cultural conversation. Tonight is an opportunity to share our vision of longevity and what we believe the future of beauty can look like.” Virginie Courtin-Clarins
A Celebration of Longevity, Inside and Out
For the evening, KONG was transformed into an intimate expression of the Clarins universe, with a dinner experience inspired by the House’s approach to longevity. Beauty and wellbeing came together through a thoughtfully curated menu featuring ingredients selected with health and longevity in mind—reflecting the idea that caring for ourselves extends beyond what we apply to our skin.
For over 30 years, Clarins has been a pioneer in longevity science founded on a holistic vision of beauty grounded in science and nature, aligned in well-being and balance, to support a framework for a life of vitality and longevity. Through the years, our ongoing research and innovation have explored the biological mechanisms of skin aging to set a healthy foundation and help skin perform at its best. This enduring commitment has led to 10 patents, 13 scientific publications and 12 scientific collaborations with leading research institutes from around the world. Rooted in the Clarins DNA from the very beginning, this expertise drives the groundbreaking innovation behind the Double Serum franchise.
Double Serum: 40 Years of Skincare Innovation
At the heart of this celebration was Double Serum, the iconic Clarins skincare franchise that has embodied the brand’s approach to plant science and innovation for more than four decades.
First launched in 1985, Double Serum pioneered a dual-phase formula inspired by the skin’s hydrolipidic film, bringing together water- and oil-soluble ingredients within one treatment. Over nine generations, the formula has continued to evolve alongside advances in Clarins Research, most recently incorporating discoveries inspired by epigenetics to address both chronological aging and signs of aging associated with lifestyle and environmental factors.
Today, Double Serum remains one of Clarins’ most iconic and best-selling skincare products, embodying 40 years of continuous research and innovation.
A New Generation of Double Serum Eye
The evening also celebrated the launch of the new generation of Double Serum Eye, bringing Clarins’ longevity expertise to the delicate eye contour.
Drawing on 30 years of longevity science and seven years of epigenetics research, the next-generation anti-aging eye treatment was developed to address the visible impact of both chronological and lifestyle-related aging around the eyes.
The two-in-one formula combines six plant extracts and five active molecules, including Organic Marjoram and Turmeric and is designed to visibly target multiple signs of aging around the eye contour, including dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles while smoothing and hydrating the skin.
Through Double Serum Eye, Clarins continues the story that began with Double Serum more than 40 years ago: combining pioneering scientific research, the power of plants and a holistic understanding of beauty to help shape the future of skin longevity.
