Oribe (pronounced OR-bay) is a luxury hair-care brand that you need in your bathroom, if you don't already own anything from the brand. The brand was founded by Cuban-born American celebrity hairstylist, Oribe Canales; and beauty industry stalwarts Daniel Kaner and Tev Finger.
The brand has reached cult status among models backstage at Fashion Weeks the world over, for its high-performing product ranges for different hair concerns and its signature fragrance when used.
Cote d'Azur is the scent's name, and it is was carefully concocted by a French fragrance house to evoke a calm yet sensual and invigorating experience throughout the day. With bright notes of Italian bergamot and white peach; soft woody notes of cedarwood, white amber, musk and Cuba's national flower, la mariposa blanca, the fragrance is unmistakably Oribe's and sets it apart from other fruity-scented hair brands in the market.
Oribe is also well-known for its sleek and luxe packaging that makes you want to keep the bottle even after you're through with the product inside. Housed in jewel-toned bottles with a strong architectural slant, the products evoke old-world charm while maintaining their modern sensibility with sleek lines. Oh, and more recently they have also launched a lipstick range.
Celebrities like Zooey Deschanel, Scarlett Johansson, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Jennifer Lopez love these luxurious hair care products!

1. Oribe Signature Shampoo and Conditioner
These are one of the first things you should try from Oribe! While Oribe has a few ranges of hair shampoo and conditioner for different hair concerns, their signature range is your best bet if you're just starting out.
This is aptly named as Oribe's signature set for a reason: these two products are star performers in the range and work some magic on your hair. Both the shampoo and conditioner are moisturising and indulgent, concocted to silken, detangle and protect your hair with every use, leaving it weightless and smooth. Both the shampoo and the conditioner are free from parabens and sodium chlorides, and contain Oribe's Signature Complex (Watermelon, Lychee and Edelweiss Flower Extracts) and other natural extracts and oils meant to gently cleanse and protect the hair from UV rays.
The Signature Shampoo and Conditioner are both available in three sizes, and we recommend trying out the travel size one first to see if you like it.
These are available at selected premium salons in Singapore.
