Interview with Kathyuscia Cerri, beauty consultant at Le Vanità Profumerie in Florence
First date is in Florence, to meet Kathyuscia Cerri, Decorté Beauty Consultant at Le Vanità Profumerie, where a dedicated Decorté corner is.
– What impressed you most when you first discovered Decorté?
“When I joined Le Vanità, after ten years of experience in perfumery, I knew Decorté only as a prestigious J-Beauty brand. Over time, I truly got to know it in depth and grew to appreciate it more and more. It never ceases to fascinate me, always revealing new surprises.
What struck me immediately was discovering how a brand rooted in Japanese cosmetic philosophy is so deeply supported by research. In a metropolis like Tokyo, there is a city within the city: Decorté laboratories—where scientists, researchers, technicians, and creatives work tirelessly with the ambitious goal of developing unique skincare formulas, in which even delicate, relaxing fragrances contribute to visible results.
Truly incredible!
I was also impressed by Decorté’s deep commitment to skin care and its truly unique beauty rituals.”
– Some customers try Decorté for the first time, while others are loyal devotees. I imagine they share their impressions and what won them over.
“In fact, I am the first to ask them for feedback. This not only makes them feel pampered and valued, but also helps me grow professionally—because in this field, learning never ends.
The feedback is always positive, because Decorté, with its different lines, meets every need. We could imagine it as a designer capable of creating a bespoke dress for each client, and my role is to propose the ideal ‘outfit’—or rather, the perfect ritual—based on the skin’s needs.
At first, customers purchase one or two products. Then, thanks to samples available across the entire range, they try other treatments and become loyal.
Consultation thus becomes an evolving project. Returning to the designer metaphor: the client buys the dress (the precious fabric), the basic treatment, and I gradually add the accessories—tailoring special treatments for a perfect fit.
What truly wins customers over and brings them back? I have no doubt: two rituals from Japanese beauty culture found in every Decorté range—double cleansing and double hydration.
Why? Because they truly transform the skin, and the difference is immediately visible. Customers quickly become devoted to the brand. Visible results lead them to discover how much further their skin can improve with other products in the line.
Of course, it is essential to dedicate time to explaining these rituals—not only because they are fascinating, but because they are new to us Europeans, starting with the use of emulsion before lotion.”
– What is the most important advice you would give to someone who wants to take care of their skin?
“I would start with the basics: double cleansing and double hydration—the rest follows naturally. Once customers discover these rituals, they never give them up, because they deliver immediate and visible results regardless of skin concerns.”
– Can you share a personal secret or beauty tip?
“My secret—though it’s not really one, as I share it with all my clients—is the use of Liposome Advanced. The multilamellar liposomes at the core of the formulas work deep within the skin, gradually releasing the hydration it needs throughout the day. This is a Decorté exclusive, making it suitable for everyone regardless of age. It’s no coincidence that it is the best-selling product in Japan.”
Decorté – Body Care Collection – free standing beauty
With the arrival of the warmer season and sunny days, as sweaters, scarves, and covering outfits are set aside, the body comes back into the spotlight.
The long winter months, marked by cold temperatures, often leave the skin dull and dry, while body care—being less visible—tends to take a back seat.
Now is the time to take action and dedicate the right daily care and attention to the body, indulging in true moments of beauty and well-being—helping us regain our shape and feel ready to embrace lighter, more summery looks.
An essential ally: the formulas of the AQ Body Care Collection by Decorté—a complete range of exclusive anti-aging treatments that combine cutting-edge active ingredients, advanced brand technology, professional spa-level results, and elegant, luxurious packaging.
Four products designed to transform your beauty routine into a sensory experience that engages both body and mind.
Decorté – Body Wash - the body cleansing skin care
The latest addition to the line, Radiance Mild Essence Body Wash, is a creamy cleanser that transforms into a soft mousse upon contact with water. It works gently yet deeply, removing impurities while leaving the skin wrapped in a silky, velvety veil.
With a luxurious, serum-like texture, it features white mucuna extract for hydration and revitalization, along with white birch water and sap, rich in skin-brightening properties.

After cleansing, follow with Treatment Body Cream Sculpting Lift Cream for Absolute Radiant Body, a lifting and sculpting cream. Its melting texture absorbs quickly, delivering deep hydration, firmness, and softness thanks to a blend of active ingredients, including flaxseed oil, which protects against dryness and premature aging. Hydrolyzed collagen and double peptides further strengthen and hydrate the skin.
Use it in the morning—or in the evening, complete your routine with Treatment Body Oil Shaping Contour Oil for Absolute Radiant Body, a firming and smoothing oil that enhances elasticity, hydration, and tone. With a delicate, relaxing fragrance, it contains a precious blend of plant oils: flaxseed, moringa seed, and baobab seed oils.
Finally, dedicated to hands—often overlooked in daily beauty routines—Hand Essence Anti-Wrinkle Replenishing Hand Serum, a fresh and lightweight regenerating serum. Formulated with Tremella fuciformis extract to support hydration, white birch water and sap, and Callicarpa japonica extract to stimulate microcirculation, it helps reduce wrinkles and prevent their appearance. Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, preserving optimal hydrolipid balance.
By plumping the skin, it restores softness and radiance while also helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots. ✨
Vetiris – In the Most Authentic Heart of the Tuscan Countryside
Vetiris is not merely a fragrance, but an olfactory narrative—an evocative journey that captures the magic and wonder of a rare moment of pure relaxation, where time seems to stand still.
It distills into essence the sensations of a walk through Tuscany, immersed in unspoiled nature: the sun already high, gently warming the air; the lush green rolling hills; and a soft, refreshing breeze carrying with it the scents gathered along its path, as it brushes across meadows, forests, and the gardens of noble estates.
Vetiris is an emotion. A citrus–spicy–woody bouquet
An exhilarating composition unfolds from the very first notes, dazzling the senses with vibrant citrus sparks of lemon, lime, bergamot, and petitgrain. It then evolves into a captivating heart, revealing a warm, aromatic, and dynamic spicy blend. Green cardamom, clove, sage, black pepper, and neroli rise in a harmonious crescendo, culminating in a deep, woody sillage.
Here, vetiver, cypress, and nutmeg intertwine, elevated by the refined nuances of iris, lingering delicately on the skin in a sensual, enveloping embrace.
Born from the talent and olfactory sensitivity of Delphine Thierry, Vetiris Eau de Parfum—perfectly suited for both him and her—belongs to the Evocations de Lubin collection. This line of elegant fragrances is designed to capture a precious moment in a distinctive and unforgettable place, where simplicity becomes the ultimate signature of sophistication.
Crafted with meticulously selected raw materials, each creation features a heart built around just two or three exceptional notes, artfully interwoven to create scents that are instantly recognizable—and truly unforgettable.
