As guests ascended the subtly-lit staircase, greeted by champagne in hand, the luminescence of Baccarat-encased LOUIS XIII quickly drew all eyes in the room. Scarlet-hued carte du jours garnished the white-linen tabletop as guests sat down to a four-course culinary experience showcasing classic Mammoliti family recipes, including its decadent ravioli crowned with truffles.

The afterparty took place at none other than swanky celebrity hotspot Provocateur, where guests were welcomed by three private tables lined with trays upon trays of bespoke Louis XIII glassware. Not before long, a parade of sparklers lit up the night as the coveted LOUIS XIII coffret emerged, complete with white glove service, to the tune of Rihanna’s hit paying homage to the cognac. Set amidst walls clad with towering Haute Living x JetSmarter backdrops, guests and onlookers alike raised a glass to the future of an unprecedented partnership in the luxury world.
