Monday afternoon, Audrose saluted its launch at the Gansevoort Hotel’s lush rooftop lounge. On the chilly December day, an assortment of tastemakers and editors descended on Manhattan’s Meatpacking District to toast the brand. The airy space was transformed by genius floral designer Ivie Joy for the occasion. Soft roses and peonies perfumed the greenhouse-inspired bar, and the wall of greenery added the perfect transportive touch to the afternoon affair.

Upon arrival, guests were greeted with a sampled selection from The Art of Tea and a bountiful display of Audrose’s latest offerings like The Serum Concentrate, The Activator, and Beauty Drops. Naturally, the calming scent of Audrose candles mingled with the floral notes.

The lunch was intimate—fitting for a line dedicated to a no-frills, results-driven approach to skincare. Founder Justine Nichole spoke to the attendees about her research and process, including her own struggle with an autoimmune disorder that wreaked havoc on her skin. Dr. Ellen Turner, who uses Audrose on her patients, spoke to the product’s transformational capabilities with passion.

After the conversation and sustainable cuisine, guests basked the golden light and enjoyed signature cocktails crafted exclusively for the brand. As the sun set over the Hudson River, guests bid farewell to a celebration centered around the future of women and wellness.
