Bamford Hay Barn at the Berkeley Hotel
The Berkeley has recently opened the doors of a new Bamford Hay Barn Retreat on the seventh floor of the hotel. It represents a welcome revamp of the hotel's spa area, whose pazzazz had flagged a little in recent times. The space is the third outpost to be opened by the luxury wellness brand, following on from the original Cotswolds location and a further London branch in Chelsea's Draycott Avenue. Acting as a countryside retreat in the heart of London, the Berkeley space offers treatments that combine shiatsu, Swedish massage, reflexology and yoga techniques using Bamford Body products. The brand's strong connection with nature is reflected in the products, which feature naturally-sourced ingredients. The Berkeley hotel outpost stays true to the sophisticated décor of the brand, with light-filled spaces outfitted in white and natural wood and discreet design nods to its more rural roots. The outdoors rooftop area consists of a cloister-like terrace and the pool is flanked by a small garden offering a temporary escape from the city.

Velvet Rope by Lipstick Queen
Lipstick Queen's Poppy King has launched a line that sets a new benchmark for luxury lipsticks. The Velvet Rope collection is inspired by the golden years of Hollywood and features intensely rich pigments, supreme application and suitably weighty gold casing. The weightlessness of the colour itself comes courtesy of Silicone Elastamer, an innovation in lipstick formulation. Combined with natural waxes Candelilla, Carnauba and Beeswax, apricot oil, vitamin E and peppermint oil, it makes for a thoroughly modern lipstick that balances comfort, nourishment and impact. There are five shades; Private Party is a hot pink, Brat pack a true red, Entourage a rich wine, Black Tie is a deep red and Star System is the perfect nude.
All shades are priced at £35; www.lipstickqueen.com

Le Labo City Exclusives
New York-based perfumery Le Labo is no stranger to the pages of Wallpaper*, having nabbed a Design Award for best fragrance in 2007 and collaborated with Japanese designer Eisuke Tachikawa to produce a bespoke aroma capsule for our Handmade Exhibition this year. Their City Exclusive fragrances are each inspired by, and exclusively sold in a city where La Labo has set up shop, making them highly-sought after souvenirs. The brand's City Exclusive Event introduces an exception to the rule - for six weeks from 1 September, these fragrances will be leaving their hometowns, and appearing in shops all over the world and online.
The event also marks the international debut of two City Exclusive fragrances, personally developed by founders Eddie Roschi and Fabrice Pinot. Limette 37, first launched in San Francisco this May, is an olfactory roller coaster that pays homage to the hilly ride from Le Labo's Fillmore Street locale to the bay. Beginning with wafts of bergamot, it then blooms with exquisite jasmine before drifting off in hints of vetiver and tonka beans. The brand new Cuir 28, on the other hand, encapsulates the robust, dynamic character of Dubai with a memorable blend of leather, woods, animal notes, musks and vanilla absolute. We expect them to be flying off shelves.
Limette 37, £276 for 100ml, Cuir 28, £276 for 100ml; www.lelabofragrances.com
City Exclusive Event runs from 1 September to 15 October 2013
