Dispatch from Madrid

When in Madrid… you host a sun-drenched afternoon at one of the city’s most enchanting spots. For Anne’s Table's debut, our Managing Director Anne Zimmermann partnered with everyone’s favorite muse and honorary Madrileña, Cleo von Oettingen, to bring together 25 brilliant women. Founders, creatives, visionaries. The kind of crowd where conversation flows, ideas spark, and inspiration feels effortless.

Set against the lush, quietly iconic backdrop of Hotel Orfila, the afternoon was about connection, slow luxury, and the kind of beauty that doesn’t try too hard. Joined by Noble Panacea’s CEO Céline Talabaza — the woman behind some of the most innovative skincare on the planet — the gathering hit that rare sweet spot that felt considered, easy, and quietly magnetic.

And Madrid? The city delivered in its signature “golden-hour light, linen everything, and just the right amount of late-night glamour”-style. With that in mind, whether you're zipping off for a long weekend or just channeling that classy Madrid lifestyle from home, these are the products that bring the energy (and deserve a permanent spot in your suitcase).

1. The Overnight Skin Transformer

Noble Panacea The Exceptional Chronobiology Sleep Mask

Powered by Nobel Prize-winning science, this mask works overnight to hydrate, detox, and renew. It syncs with your skin’s natural rhythm to deliver exactly what it needs, when it needs it. The result? Skin that’s luminous, smooth, and wide awake, even if you’re not. (Pro tip: pairs well with midnight dinners and too much Verdejo.)

2. The Madrid Lip Mood
Westman Atelier Lip Suede Matte Lipstick & Lip Shape Lip Liner

Bold, flattering color with a hydrating matte finish — basically, your passport to looking pulled-together in 30 seconds. Packed with peptides, vitamins, and lip-loving tech, it’s made for balmy nights, clinking glasses, and dancing between courses. Don’t skip the liner. This duo is a power move.

3. The Scent of the City
Byredo Blanche Absolu 

If Madrid had a scent, this would be it. Blanche Absolu layers crisp linen and warm skin with soft florals, musk, and just a whisper of black pepper. It’s sensual, elevated, and made to linger. Like the best memories do.
