M oroccanoil, the global leader in oil-infused beauty, is excited to announce the continued expansion of the brand across duty free and travel retail channels in 2026, building on strong momentum in an evolving global marketplace. Moroccanoil’s major Global Travel Retail launch for 2026 was Lumière du Jour Eau de Parfum, following the success of the brand’s first-ever fine fragrance, L’Originale Eau de Parfum. It captures the essence of a Mediterranean dawn – luminous, calm and bright – bringing together notes of lush fig leaf and sun-warmed jasmine that bloom in harmony, while soft blonde woods and luminous musks add depth and quiet allure. Another launch was the first-ever Moroccanoil Lip Balm, which delivers immediate hydration without a sticky feel. Infused with nourishing, skincare-inspired ingredients including argan oil, argan butter, and peptides, this high-performing, Moroccanoil drives momentum across global travel retail argan-powered formula leaves lips feeling smooth and supple with a healthy-looking sheen. The brand is launching the new Overnight Leave-in Mask, designed to make morning routines effortless by reducing frizz, minimising split ends, and preventing tangles overnight for lasting smoothness. The treatment leaves hair beautifully conditioned and touchably soft, with a healthy-looking shine. The weightless formula delivers intense hydration and deep nourishment without leaving residue on hair or pillows. Moroccanoil is also debuting professional tennis champion Aryna Sabalenka as its new Global Brand Ambassador, marking a strategic evolution for the brand. As the longtime Official Haircare Sponsor of the Miami Open, Moroccanoil has built a strong presence in tennis, bringing beauty and self-care into a world increasingly shaped by confidence, wellness, and performance. RivieraVillageRD8 “ Here I am, 40 years on, still making friends in the travel retail and duty free industry,” says Anthony Budd, Managing Director, Diverse Flavours. “My first visit to Cannes was in either 1986 or 1987, when I slept aboard the Long John International yacht. I remember it as though it were yesterday and thinking: what a brilliant industry! That experience is ultimately why I founded Diverse Flavours with my wife Michiko. Before starting the company, I worked for Long John International, James Burrough, Allied Domecq and Pernod Ricard. Along the way, I had the opportunity to live and work in five countries across four continents – the UK, Canada, Japan, Korea and South Africa – while representing some truly remarkable brands.” Now based in Cape Town, Budd’s ambition is to introduce the exceptional wines and spirits of South Africa to the world and build enduring South African brands in duty free and travel retail. “Our portfolio includes wines from across the many wine growing regions of the Western Cape: Avondale, Cederberg, Cape Point Vineyards, Delaire Graff, Deetlefs, Ernie Els, Ghost Corner, Groot Constantia, Napier, Survivor, 88 Vineyards, Stellenzicht, Neil Ellis and Cape Diversity Gin,” says Budd. “Given our Japanese connection we also develop premium Japanese Sake breweries in travel retail, and our portfolio includes Sakuramasamune (Kobe), Kinshimasamune (Kyoto), and Koshitsukano (Niigata). Please join us at stand K55 in the Green Village to celebrate my 40 years in the industry – and enjoy a glass or two of outstanding South African wine, Cape Diversity Gin or Japanese Sake!” GreenVillageK55 Diverse Flavours founder celebrates 40 years in duty free Prev i ew September 2026 53 T F W A D A I L Y
