"Thoughts on Le Spa Fauchon"
Comment from Koichi Shirai, CEO, Credo International Co., Ltd.
As one of Japan's leading wellness companies, I was approached about plans to open a Fauchon hotel in Kyoto and to develop the world's first Fauchon-branded spa within the hotel. When I visited Paris about seven years ago, I was fascinated by the history and culture of Parisian esthetics and have always wanted to spread this culture to Japan. So when I heard about a spa under the Fauchon brand, a brand representative of Paris, I was convinced that it was an opportunity to make a dream I had long held in my heart a reality.

KOS PARIS, with whom we are collaborating on the product development, is a company whose president, Sophie Allouche, I met during a visit to Paris. I shared her strong passion for pursuing true beauty and hoped that the high quality of KOS PARIS products, which are imbued with her passion, would be experienced in Japan as well.

KOS PARIS also agreed to create original products that combine the culture, tradition, and art of Paris and Kyoto under the concept of "Fauchon Meets Kyoto. Feel Paris." This led to the realization of our collaborative development.
From the initial stage, we exchanged ideas not only on product ideas but also on various aspects such as design, and we are delighted to be able to develop original products and menus and provide an experience that can only be found at "Le Spa Fauchon." We hope to widely promote the world's first Fauchon-branded spa and original products from Kyoto to the world.

Comment from Sophie Allouche, CEO of KOS PARIS

Paris and Kyoto are cities that cherish the "aesthetics of life."
We are thrilled to be part of this encounter and collaboration between these two wonderful cities, brought to life by the venerable French house, Maison Fauchon, and to realize our long-held dream of KOS PARIS's first presence in Japan with the Fauchon Hotel Kyoto. Since its founding, KOS PARIS has combined French-style craftsmanship, travel, and nature. Furthermore, our commitment to natural and sophisticated cosmetics is the driving force behind our carefully selected, precious and precious ingredients from around the world, formulated to maximize their effectiveness.

Based on these principles, KOS PARIS has been recognized in beautiful spas throughout Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. Now, in collaboration with Maison Fauchon, we have been able to create a rare and luxurious signature oil that acts as a bridge between East and West, connecting Paris and Kyoto. We look forward to everyone in Japan experiencing it.
