Caudalie massage

What a great way to coddle your partner: offer a treatment in Caudalie’s boutique in London (or if you feel very generous why not offer a weekend away to the spa in Bordeaux?). A 30 or 50-minute massage with unique products for the body or the face, using the vine and grapes’ beneficial properties on the skin of Caudalie’s products. The end results…a beautifully refreshed look…mind.
 

  • A Codage gift card (£95)

Order and personalise a Codage gift card with your own message; the person who is receiving it will choose what they want from Codage’s range of products, and be able to create a tailor-made treatment for their skin. With these cosmetic products perfectly adapted, you will definitely make someone very happy.
