Homecoming Candles
Love is in the air with new Valentine’s Day scents from Vancouver’s Homecoming Candles. In Maraschino + Spiced Cedar, syrupy maraschino cherry pairs with cedar, almond, cinnamon, and a touch of citrus peel for a heady and playful home aroma, while Rose Noir + Wood Smoke offers smoky florals and woody undertones with notes of dark leather, blackberry, Indian oud, and pink peppercorn to set the stage for romance. You can also learn the basics of fragrance blending and candle-pouring at one of the brand’s candle-making workshops.
Longines
To celebrate the Year of the Horse, this February, Longines unveils a special edition of its Master Collection to honour both Lunar New Year and the brand’s enduring bond with the equestrian world. Created in collaboration with the Peon Art Museum Chongqing in China, the Longines Master Collection Year of the Horse’s gilt rotor is engraved with an iconic Galloping Horse motif by Peon Xu to symbolize momentum, renewal, and the spirit of freedom and courage: with every movement of the wrist, the horse appears to gallop forward. Featuring a dramatic red dial and alligator-strap bracelet, the self-winding watch is limited to 2,026 pieces worldwide.
Chanel Beauty
Chanel Beauty’s first launch of 2026 celebrates the iconic Rouge Noir, a nail polish shade first introduced in the legendary Karl Lagerfeld’s 1994/95 autumn-winter ready-to-wear show. In a timeless balance of black and red, the new limited-edition Rouge Noir makeup collection includes eyeshadow, lipstick, mascara, and polish in rich hues of magenta, pink, and shimmery sienna reds.
Fête Chinoise
Celebrate Lunar New Year with the Fête Chinoise Auspicious Treats tea towel in red. The hand-illustrated printed-cotton towel from 1889 Trading Co., the Chinese Canadian Museum’s gift shop, delightfully displays traditional snacks and lucky treats that also facilitate easy cleanup and calorie-free fun.
Jane The Brand
For a fresh take on the traditional jewellery gift, there’s Jane The Brand, a new local, female-founded company offering playful, personality-driven bag charms and accessories. Each miniature charm elevates the simplest bag or tote: for the sports enthusiast, the Tennis Love bag charm serves style on and off the court, while a Mini Purse charm adds cheekiness to the most iconic of handbags.
Brunette The Label
What’s red and pink with hearts all over? Vancouver brand Brunette The Label’s Valentine’s Day clothing collection. From the All Over Red Heart Sweatsuit to the pink faux-fur Alfie jacket with bold collar and metallic clasps, the new capsule drop works equally well for lounging and layering.
Fenty Beauty
Beauty comes in the blink of an eye with Fenty Beauty by Rihanna’s Fine Linez Lash Line-Enhancing Eyeliner. The new long-wear, waterproof eyeliner amplifies the eye in 10 smudgeproof shades designed to correspond to skin tone.
Nature’s Sunshine
Look fresh for date night with the new Marine Glo from Nature’s Sunshine, a marine collagen offering anti-aging skin benefits and blue-light protection for eyes and joints. Infused with marine collagen peptides, biotin, vitamin C, and niacinamide, the powder (just add water) encourages skin elasticity and hydration while reducing the appearance of fine lines and dark spots. It supports joints and vision by filtering harmful blue light from our digital devices to reduce eye strain and fatigue.
Burberry
Inspired by freedom, individuality, and London’s city energy, Burberry Her Parfum is a newer, more intense expression of the brand’s iconic signature fragrance. Housed in an opaque deep-pink glass bottle, the bold new scent created by master perfumer Aurélien Guichard opens with juicy dark cherry, warms into a rich amber accord, and then settles into a decadent vanilla absolute.
Keefer House
Book the babysitter for an evening at the newly opened Keefer House, Chinatown’s only urban boutique “aparthotel.” Interiors in warm wood, cool grey, and mustard tones are kitted out with full kitchens stocked with local Fable ceramics, while the modern exterior pays homage to the neighbourhood’s layers of culture and transformation with a large-scale art installation by Vancouver artist Rory Doyle.
La Prairie
This month, Swiss luxury facial skin-care brand La Prairie introduces its first body cream with Cashmere Body Cream. Featuring biometric peptides that help stimulate cellular renewal, the lightly floral-scented new balm features hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, along with hydrating ingredients such as shea butter.
Louis Vuitton
Craftsmanship and contemporary design collide in the Diago High Vase by Louis Vuitton. Conceived by iconic Spanish architect and designer Patricia Urquiola, the deep-purple mouth-blown glass vessel’s base comes wrapped in a laced perforated-leather sheath to create an interplay of relief and transparency that recalls the designer’s iconic Palaver chair for Objets Nomades.
Wish Dry Bar
Valentine’s date night starts at the new Wish Dry Bar at the Fairmont Pacific Rim. Now the second Wish location in Vancouver, this new boutique offers the same luxurious treatments as its West Vancouver flagship—expert blowouts, Kérastase treatments—as well as in-room styling for hotel guests.
