The beauty edit
ROBERTO CAVALLI A/W 2025
MECCA MELBOURNE
The opening of Mecca’s multi-level beauty destination in Melbourne’s CBD marks not only the biggest beauty destination in the country, but one of the largest in the world. From the Mecca Apothecary on the ground floor, which offers an in-store wellness haven of naturopathy, acupuncture, ingestibles and life-coaching, all the way up to the top floor, which houses Mecca Aesthetica (the ideal way to give skin a glow-up) and the Perfumeria, a world-first fragrance space of sensory immersion, this is a beauty-lover’s dream.

Officially for him, actually for everyone. This vetiver-driven scent contrasts smoky woods and cedar with explosive pink pepper and bergamot. It’s charismatic, sophisticated and surprisingly addictive on the skin.
