Notes Shanghai and Beauty Shanghai Open Joint Spring Edition on West Bund

Two of Asia's most influential lifestyle exhibitions, Notes Shanghai and Beauty Shanghai, come together in one space next month, making the West Bund a multi-sensory world of scent, design, and contemporary beauty culture.

Bringing together over 400 global brands, the dual exhibition moves beyond the idea of a traditional trade show, presenting a layered experience where fragrance, cosmetics, art, and lifestyle intersect. It is not just about products, but about how beauty is imagined, expressed, and experienced today.

Notes Shanghai returns as a leading platform for the fragrance industry, gathering more than 200 perfume brands alongside perfumers, collectors, and creators. Through curated exhibitions, live talks, and industry forums, the space opens up the world behind scent, from craftsmanship to history and emotional storytelling. Highlights include a special tribute to master perfumer Dominique Ropion, a deep exploration of perfume history created with the Osmothèque archive, and immersive installations that translate scent into visual form.

At the same time, Beauty Shanghai enters a new phase. Expanding beyond skincare and cosmetics, it embraces a broader cultural perspective where beauty connects with fashion, design, and lifestyle. With a focus on cultural expression, brands are presented as immersive narratives rather than simple displays, reflecting a shift from product-driven consumption to deeper emotional connection.

Together, the two exhibitions form a shared ecosystem where industry professionals and curious visitors move through the same space, discovering new ideas, aesthetics, and ways of experiencing beauty. Expect conversations, installations, and encounters that feel as much like an art experience as they do a showcase.
