French product house, Caudalie, has chosen London to launch its flagship boutique with a treatment room.

The Caudalie Boutique & Spa opened its doors in Covent Garden on Monday (10 February), marking a departure for founders of Caudalie, Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas. They have existing boutiques in New York, Paris, Milan and Hong Kong, but none with a treatment room.

The design reflects the style of the Caudalie spa at Chateaux Smith Haut Lafitte in Bordeaux. Customers can walk in for instant beauty facials, hand exfoliation and massage or signature treatments by appointment.

Director Caudalie UK & Ireland, Jean-Christophe Samyn, says it has been launched in response to demand from clients: “We realised that to complete the walk in boutique concept we needed to a treatment room to offer our signature spa treatments for the face and body, such as vino perfect facial.”

The Caudalie Spa & Boutique in London spans 606sq ft and has one treatment room and shower.

Centrepiece is a Barrel Beauty Bar, where clients can discover the products with the help of a vinotherapist. There is also a lab to create a bespoke fresh crushed cabernet scrub, made from the individual’s own choice of organic essential oil.
