InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah and Tom Ford Beauty Unveil 

Soleil Neige Inspired Afternoon Tea at The Lounge

A collaboration born of scent, light, and the art of the unhurried afternoon

Some collaborations are born of commerce. Others, of a shared belief in what an experience can be. The Soleil Neige Afternoon Tea, launching 5 May 2026 at The Lounge, InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah, belongs entirely to the latter marking the first ever Tom Ford Beauty collaboration in Indonesia, and the debut of Soleil Neige's iconic new bottle on Indonesian soil. It is an afternoon conceived not merely to be enjoyed, but to be remembered.

South Jakarta has long been a quiet arbiter of taste, discerning, unhurried, and elegantly certain of what it values. It is fitting that it is here where luxury hospitality and luxury fragrance find their first common table. Two distinct worlds, one shared language. Available throughout May 2026, The Soleil Neige Afternoon Tea is an experience that begins with scent, unfolds through flavour, and lingers long after the afternoon has passed.

Soleil Neige, French for snow sun is a fragrance of contrasts in elegant balance: the crisp luminosity of alpine air against the warmth of skin, citrus brightened and softened by white musk and sandalwood. A scent of arrival and departure at once like standing at the edge of a mountain morning, fully present. The new bottle carries the same duality in form: cold in its clarity, warm in its intention. It is from this world that the afternoon takes its shape.

The menu at The Lounge is a sensory translation, each tier a movement, each dish a note. Behind the composition: Pastry Chef Consultant Kim Pangestu, whose creative vision guides the collection, and resident Pastry Chef Ketut Suyarsa, whose craft brings each piece quietly to life. A duet that speaks only through what it produces.

The sweets move as the fragrance does white, luminous, layered: vanilla that envelops, citrus that clarifies, florals that soften. The savoury tier answers with equal precision, oceanic, refined, richness held in sharp relief. The full composition is best discovered at the table. Each piece has been named. The rest belongs to the guest.

Throughout May, The Lounge becomes something more. Tom Ford Beauty's visual merchandising team brings the world of Soleil Neige into the space, the fragrance's iconic new bottle, installed with characteristic precision, available to encounter firsthand. The display does not overwhelm. It inhabits, the way a great fragrance inhabits a room: present without insistence, noticed without being seen.

Every guest departs with a curated keepsake: a postcard from the afternoon, a Soleil Neige fragrance sample, and an exclusive invitation to explore the fragrance further at Tom Ford Beauty, Metro Pondok Indah Mall 1.

An afternoon that does not end when the last cup is cleared but continues, gently, wherever the guest chooses to take it.
