Those who immersed in The Cobalt Blue sensory experience at La Prairie House include Emily Lam Ho, Elly Lam, Queenie Law and Candice Chan, among others. Guests not only got a chance to enjoy the delectable gastronomical creations by chef Vicky Lau, but also experience first-hand the opulent, silky smooth Skin Caviar Nighttime Oil formulation. 

The dinner series is a celebration of the rare, natural powers of caviar. The Skin Caviar Nighttime Oil is a line-smoothing, rejuvenating formula that taps into the intense power of Caviar Retinol, an unexpected and elusive component discovered by La Prairie’s scientists. The luxurious qualities of caviar are further highlighted in the three-course menu using a variety of different caviars curated especially for the occasion.
