Emmy nominee Fiona Dourif receives her gift of Betenoir, the newest fragrance by L’Entropiste from Denis Bellaiche.
LOS ANGELES,CA (LA ELEMENTS) 9/20/2026 – “We received the award of the year for this fragrance, L’Entropiste Dorian’s Spleen,” says Xions Group co-founder and CEO, Denis Bellaiche. “This is the best fragrance of 2026 in the world. It’s for both men and women. It’s very special, very intense, very creative and the creation is from Bertrand Duchaufour. He is the master in the world of fragrance and all the people love this.”
What is the alchemy behind the fragrance of 2026, L’Entropiste Dorian’s Spleen? This winner of the prestigious Fragrance Foundation France Award has tantalizing notes of whiskey and chocolate.
Besides Dorian’s Spleen, guests of the DPA Pre-awards Gift Suite in honor of the Emmys, had a very exclusive preview of L’Entropiste’s newest fragrance, Betenoir. Although the official launch won’t be until next month, VIP guests took home special gift bags from this fragrance line. Bellaiche also gifted products from Masqly Paris. These are anti-aging masks for the other parts of your body that need but don’t often get enough anti-aging skincare attention such as hands, arms, feet, and legs.

Few things can be more luxurious than having your own private chef – especially one who can make French and Mediterranean cuisine with a California twist like Private Chef Mathias. Guests had the chance to enjoy dishes specially prepared for this event. There was the deeply French classic, French roque monsieur. Also on the menu was quinoa salad mixed with green apple and cranberry, orzo salad and creamy Bayou chicken. But that is only a taste of what Chef Mathias has to offer. Once the private chef to the former Prime Minister of France Édouard Balladur, Chef Mathias is at your service with an even more extensive menu for your next special event.
Carlos Manuel Vesga from can celebrate his Emmy nomination on the beautiful island of Bora Bora at the Bloody Mary Hotel.
You can always count on amazing luxury getaways to be offered at any DPA event. This year’s Emmy celebration promised to whisk VIP guests away to the paradise of French Polynesia. The accommodations for this dream getaway was a choice between Bloody Mary’s Bora Bora Hotel or Le Taha’a by Pearl Resorts. Bloody Mary’s Bora Bora Hotel is built around the iconic Bloody Mary restaurant and features overwater and hillside rooms. Le Taha’a by Pearl Resorts is a luxurious intimate 5-star Relais & Châteaux resort located on its own private motu (islet).

Nursery Developed by estheticians, this Kyoto based company is a natural aromatic brand that specializes in skincare cleansers. There is nothing artificial in this line. Instead, Nursery uses carefully selected natural essential oils and plant extracts, especially the signature fresh scented Japanese yuzu. What does yuzu smell like? A glorious fusion of citrus. Guests received both the popular cleansing balm and cleansing gel in their gift bags.
Philanthropy is always central to any DPA event and this year, there were three notable charities in the spotlight. The Plumery is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the rescue of parrots. Parrots were never meant to be pets because they have complex needs over and above what the average pet owner can provide. As a result, many are caught in a cycle of being rehomed, neglected or surrendered. The Plumery steps in to take care of these birds by providing an expansive brick and mortar home as well as medical care and high-quality nutrition.
Founded by Father Greg Boyle in Los Angeles, Home Boy Industries is the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world. They have also made a name for themselves in the culinary world. Their artisan breads, pastries, cakes, cookies and more can be found in LA farmers markets including Studio City, and also at their own cafes and diners.
Representatives from the American Diabetes Association were on hand to educate and spread awareness of a disease that affects 12% of Americans.

What sets Haize & Honey apart from other cookies? “The fact that it’s a 36 hour process and they’re made by hand,” says founder Taira Bagley. “It’s so intentional the ingredients. I developed this recipe myself and I perfected it. Along with that it’s an elevated experience-better with a glass of wine thatn with a glass of milk, and when you have that Haize & Honey experience, it’s different from other chocolate chunk cookies.” Our verdict: decadent and delicious!
Celebrities also received a gift bag filled with treats for the special pup in their lives, curated by none other than @orsonpetitcoeur (if you know you know). Stella and Chewys Dog Food, dog treats from Charlie Bear and Natoo Pet Foods, Backyard Balcony,toys from Jolly Pets, 3 Dogs Bakery, accessories from Loving Pets, Better Bone chew products, and Puppy Fades by Homeboy were among the brands in the bag for one lucky dog.
Other outstanding gift sponsors in the spotlight at this event were 28 Wishes Ice Cream, Davos Coffee, Moda Mocktails, and author Oshri Hakak.
