From June 1 to 8, during Esxence 2026, Antonia Sant'Andrea will exclusively host a dedicated corner celebrating Moëhr, the fragrance house originally founded in 1881 at the Grand Hôtel de Monte-Carlo by Nestor Moëhr and revived in 2026 under the direction of brothers Vincent and Nicolas Poylo.
Conceived with meticulous attention to detail, the launch will be revealed through a dedicated installation created in collaboration with Florentine silversmith Pampaloni and Milanese floral duo Violalimone. Set beneath the arcades of Portrait, the installation pays tribute to the house's origins, itself born under the arcades of the Grand Hôtel.
The Grand Hôtel collection includes six Eau de Parfums — Septime, Swann, Sinclair, Jadis, Otis and Benedict — each named after an imaginary guest of the Grand Hôtel and presented within a burlesque service whose colours and flavours reflect the olfactory facets of each scent.
Each fragrance was crafted in partnership with Mane, the historic family-owned fragrance house, using short formulas, modern extraction techniques, and a rigorous commitment to ethically sourced raw materials. The bottle is the result of years of research through countless private and public archives, with one ambition : to understand the Grand Hôtel as a whole, and design a bottle that would truly embody its heritage. Resembling collectible objects from the nineteenth century, the bottles feature a zinc cap cast from the same metal used for the original Grand Hôtel counter, inspired by an archival piece commissioned by Moëhr for his wife in 1891.
An in-store cocktail reception, featuring a live performance by Mexican painter Esteban Fuentes de Maria, will be hosted during the experience.
