Estée Lauder and Diane von Furstenberg stage world-first InCharge pre-launch at Changi

The Estée Lauder x Diane von Furstenberg InCharge Limited-Edition Collection debuted at Changi Airport with a world-first pre-launch pop-up staged in Terminal 1 transit on February 14, 2026, and the program rolled out more broadly later in February. Changi framed the capsule as a “travel retail worldwide exclusive” and presented the launch as a curated retail event rather than a standard counter drop.

Visitors entered an experience titled “Reflections Of Your Aura,” where the pop-up invited them to “Explore a series of empowering experiences at the pop-up. Capture your photo, aura, and empowering words, and transform them into a personalized InCharge portrait that celebrates your power and energy.” The pop-up sat inside the transit zone at Terminal 1, giving travelers first access to the InCharge items before wider travel retail availability later in the month.

The centerpiece was InCharge Essence d’Eau, billed on site as “Estée Lauder x Diane von Furstenberg’s first-ever alcohol-free, water-based fragrance.” Now Smell This described the scent as “A fragrance formula free of drying alcohols. A vibrant, amber floral essence. Seductive and refreshing. Magnetic and sensual. Spray on. Blend in. Melt away.” Fragrantica added that it is “described by the brand as an amber floral essence, it is formulated without drying alcohols and conceived as a lighter, skin-like fragrance gesture that can be sprayed on and blended into the skin.” Changi listed InCharge Essence d’Eau at S$134.00 and Now Smell This confirmed it is available at Changi Airport in 30 ml.

The InCharge capsule spotlighted three new products: the InCharge Essence d’Eau, an InCharge Multi-Use Blush Stick in the shade Pink Me priced at S$45.00 with the short copy “Highlight. Sculpt. Blush.,” and the InCharge Glossy Lip Oil Collection, a trio in Dusk Pink, Crystal and Salt Pink priced at S$58.00 described on site as “A trio of lightweight, conditioning lip oil treatments with the shine of a gloss.” These three items are presented in Changi’s launch copy as the collection’s new travel retail exclusives.

Changi’s product page also listed Advanced Night Repair items alongside the InCharge pieces, including an Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex Duo at S$522.00 with the descriptor “This super serum visibly reduces multiple signs of aging for a smoother, younger, more radiant look.” An Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Crème Duo appears on the same page without a price in the supplied listing.

For luxury gift buyers flying through Singapore, the InCharge drop offers a compact, travel-ready fragrance gesture and a trio of color pieces that together signal the collection’s focus on portability and empowerment. The water-based fragrance and the curated transit experience make the Changi pre-launch a notable example of travel retail-first luxury launches in 2026.
