Kathryn Bernardo gracefully steps into a new phase of life as she turns 28 on March 26, 2024.

Taking to social media to mark this special occasion, Kathryn joyfully announces yet another milestone alongside her birthday.

In her post, she shares an empowering message: “Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re not allowed to redefine who you are.

“Everyone’s a work in progress. Here’s to you — because you can be your own Idôle.”

The “Idôle” mentioned in her post refers to the reputable perfume line of renowned French luxury brand Lancôme.

It is also a French word that means “greatly admired.”

In a video she uploaded, the Kapamilya actress elegantly handles a deck of cards, each representing a unique scent from the Lancôme Idôle collection.

According to Lancôme’s official website, the Idôle fragrance line boasts five exquisite scents: Idôle Eau De Toilette, Idôle Eau De Parfum, Idôle Now Eau De Parfum, Idôle Eau De Parfum Nectar, and Idôle Aura Eau De Parfum.

These fragrances are available for purchase ranging from USD 60 to USD 118 or PHP 3,379.86 to PHP 6,647.06.

Just as her caption suggests, Kathryn emphasizes that individuals are multifaceted, and these fragrances symbolize the diverse aspects of one’s identity while maintaining their intrinsic essence.

Kathryn concludes her post with a heartfelt acknowledgment to Lancôme for entrusting her with the role of being the inaugural Filipino ambassador.

She writes, “Thank you @lancomeofficial for welcoming me as the first-ever Lancôme Philippines Ambassador!”
