Wall and white picket fence with green vines trailing over it, completed the fairytale picture that was the first glimpse of what was in store for all those who attended the House of Lux held recently at the ballroom of the Hilton Colombo.
It was indeed a magical evening as this iconic brand which has held its own for over 90 years evolved into a fragrance body treat which has bettered even real roses.
As invitees walked through a specially designed Arch, they were able to experience an interactive pathway which was animated to have roses bloom when they walked on it, a novel experience indeed.
On en20ttering the hall they were greeted with a gigantic 50 foot stage in a beautiful garden setting. Inside the ballroom or rather garden were three zones for invitees to experience.
The Soft Touch Zone, which was synonymous with this Pink bar of Lux soap which is present in almost all homes today, was redolent with the exquisite fragrance of Soft Touch, complete with appropriate beverage and sweet tables, while a hostess took visitors through a fragrance experience.
The Silk Sensation Zone was built around a tree in winter, evoking the fragrance of this delicate white Lux soap and here too invitees were able to experience the fragrance first hand.
The Hologram Zone was a first time fragrance experience where invitees were able to walk into a hologram in which roses were projected around them, creating a 3D viewing experience all around.
As for the entertainment models in breathtaking designs by Indi displayed couture floral designs, with the entire stage being mapped in the design and colours of their clothing, giving the effect of a girl blooming out of a floral wall!
Former Lux Stars Sabeetha Perera and Yashoda Wimaladharma were then invited on stage and felicitated with much pomp and pageantry, accompanied by unanimous applause from the audience.
The grand finale had Pooja Umashankar in a video mapping act, with Pooja herself being raised to a height of almost five feet (Synonymous with a rose in bloom ), while a musical rendition by the renowned choral group Voice Print provided the necessary accompaniment.
“As a fragrance that has bettered itself from its origins of a single delicate French rose in every perfumed body treat, by introducing Floral Fusion Oil for better bloom than real roses, which captures that level of intensity, reflecting what every woman aspires to - which is to transform oneself from the ordinary, thus bringing out the extraordinary in herself, Lux has lived up to its promise and more”, said Director Marketing – Personal Care for Unilever Sri Lanka, Sharmila Bandara, speaking on the occasion.
