Where science, craft and beauty meet

Some collaborations transcend disciplines. They bring together different worlds, united by a shared pursuit of excellence. The AQ Meliority Baccarat Edition is the result of such a collaboration: a meeting of Decorté’s pioneering skincare research, Baccarat’s centuries-old crystal craftsmanship and Marcel Wanders’ enduring fascination with beauty, meaning and lasting value.

First introduced in 2021 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Decorté, the original AQ Meliority Baccarat Edition transformed an exceptional skincare product into a collectible object. Created in partnership with Baccarat, the crystal jar elevated a daily ritual into an experience of beauty and craftsmanship, designed to be treasured long after its contents were enjoyed.

In 2026, the story continues.

Rather than creating a replacement, Marcel Wanders envisioned a new chapter. The renewed AQ Meliority Baccarat Edition celebrates the evolution of a partnership built on mutual respect and a shared belief that true luxury lies in quality, longevity and human connection. The new crystal vessel reflects light with remarkable depth and precision, combining elegant curves, sculptural cuts and Baccarat’s mastery of crystal to create an object that feels both timeless and contemporary.

At its heart lies Decorté’s prestigious AQ Meliority Intensive Rejuvenating Essence Cream, a product born from decades of scientific research dedicated to skin longevity. Surrounding it is a handcrafted crystal creation shaped by Baccarat’s artisans, whose expertise has been refined and passed down through generations since 1764. Through Marcel Wanders’ design vision, these worlds are brought together into a single expression of beauty.

The AQ Meliority Baccarat Edition is more than packaging. It is an object of permanence in a culture of disposability. A celebration of ritual, craftsmanship and care. A reminder that the most meaningful objects are those we choose to keep.

Three distinct worlds. One shared devotion to beauty.
