On May 20th 2022, we celebrated World Bee Day with our first-ever Bee Season Pop-Up in Amsterdam. With this world premiere, Gisou wants to raise awareness around the importance of bees and inspire a new generation of beekeepers.  “We are so excited about Bee Season 2022 — bees are at the heart of everything we do at Gisou. Since day one, we have been committed to caring for the Mirsalehi Honey Bees in the same way my family has for six generations and we can’t wait to share everything with our Gisou community.” - Gisou Founder, Negin Mirsalehi The Gisou Bee Season Pop-Up For the first time ever, our Gisou community was able to experience what it feels like to be in our Mirsalehi Bee Garden. We took over Prinsengracht 455 space in Amsterdam for 3 days (May 20-May 22, 2022) to bring the ultimate destination of Gisou heritage and sustainable beekeeping where flowers, honey and haircare come together in one place.  The Mirsalehi Heritage  Visitors could learn about how to become a beekeeper and the craftsmanship of beekeeping directly from our seasoned experts, and unearth one-of-a-kind treasures on display in our Mirsalehi Heritage Museum.  Flowers by Rae Blooms Guests of the Gisou Pop-Up in Amsterdam could also bring home a curated wildflower bouquet courtesy of Australian flower artist and founder of Rae Blooms, Ariella Hill — her unique ability to play with shapes and textures as they relate to flora and fauna turns the botanical world into artistic masterpieces.  Introducing Negar Mirsalehi, Beekeeper-in-Chief This Bee Season - starting May 20 and ending on August 20 for National Honey Bee Day -  we are proud to introduce Negin’s sister, Negar Mirsalehi, who is the brand’s first-ever Beekeeper-in-Chief. The wealth of experience she has accumulated after decades of apprenticeship under her father will be shared throughout Bee Season — with Gisou devotees visiting the Pop-Up, takeovers on our social channels and in the media.

Gisou by Negin Mirsalehi celebrated the opening of The Gisou Gift Shop, its holiday pop-up store in Amsterdam December 12th, 2019 through an evening toast with personal contacts and other influential guests, followed by a public meet & greet with Negin Mirsalehi and The Gisou Family.  Situated in the middle of Amsterdam, past long, cobblestoned streets and winding canals, at the picturesque point where the bridges of the Leidsegracht and Keizersgracht meet, The Gisou Gift Shop was the ultimate holiday meeting point for young and old. The holiday pop-up store was open to the public on December 12-15, 2019 offering the complete Gisou haircare range as well as exclusive, limited edition holiday gifts for purchase.    Gisou is home for the holiday season Gisou hosts pop-up stores in cities around the world to meet its customers that reside there. The concept of each Gisou pop-up is always inspired by the local culture of the city in which it takes place and executed as a Gisou ‘takeover’, staying close to authenticity.  With The Gisou Gift Shop in Amsterdam, Gisou was home for the holidays with a special background story to tell:  Every holiday season, The Gisou Family - Negin, Maurits & Mosey - is on the hunt for the ultimate holiday gift, and this season is no different. Just like every other year, they go on a search through the streets of Amsterdam to check off their holiday shopping lists. This year, they’ll stumble upon the bright light of The Gisou Gift Shop and find just the right gifts for the whole family.  Check out the video here.  Holiday gifts  In addition to the complete range of Gisou haircare products, the Gisou team created a selection of limited edition gifts, exclusively for The Gisou Gift Shop. The star of the pop-up and ultimate holiday gift: The Gisou Turbo Dryer - a limited edition, ionic & fast-drying Gisou Hairdryer, exclusively available at The Gisou Gift Shop.

On September 7th, 2019, Gisou by Negin Mirsalehi opened the doors of its pop-up store in NYC with a VIP event and public meet & greet. The exclusive get together with Negin was attended by respected names in the beauty and fashion scene. The VIP event was followed by a public meet & greet with Negin Mirsalehi, where fans came to meet Negin and visit the pop-up. Gisou takes NYC Gisou hosts pop-ups in cities around the world to meet up with contacts and loyal customers that reside there. The concept of Gisou pop-ups are always inspired by the local culture of the specific destination and executed as a Gisou ‘takeover,’ staying close to authenticity.  Gisou’s Takeout & Refill embraced the typical New York City takeout and fast food culture. A Papaya Dog - a typical New York hot dog chain - in the West Village was turned into a completely Gisou branded pop-up store in New York City fast food-style. Inspired by the typical fast food ‘deal menu,’ pre-selected combination deals were also available for purchase, which gave customers a discount on specific Gisou product combinations.  Customers could also choose to order refills, combinations, or individual products via phone or email for ‘takeout’.   Sustainability & refill In 2019 Gisou launched its Sustainability Promise via Instagram stories, wherein we promised to work on improving the sustainability of the brand in various ways. At Gisou’s Take Out & Refill, we gave customers the chance to reduce and reuse by purchasing refills on their (half) empty Gisou product bottle(s) at a special price.  Through this initiative, Gisou aimed to further communicate its stance on sustainability, to show that it’s serious about its promise, and to influence its customers to be mindful about their own impact as well. Every design element of this pop-up was created with sustainability in mind. 

On July 4th, 2019, Gisou and Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées celebrated the launch of the Gisou Propolis Infused Polishing Primer, exclusively in-store at Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées. In celebration of the launch, Gisou came to Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées July 4-6 to highlight the urban beekeeping culture through a co-branded pop-up experience. The aim of the collaboration was to raise awareness for the honey bees and to support local honey bee populations in France. Gisou BHV Beehives As part of the collaboration, Gisou brought a piece of the Mirsalehi Bee Garden to Paris by installing beehives on top of the urban rooftop garden of BHV (part of the Groupe Galeries Lafayette). In doing so, Gisou not only launched the Gisou Propolis Infused Polishing Primer with this event, but also the honorary ‘Gisou at Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées Beehives’.  To further extend the thread of urban beekeeping, Gisou translated the urban rooftop garden to a co-branded Gisou pop-up shop inside of Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées. Inside the pop-up shop, all Gisou products, including the new Propolis Infused Polishing Primer, were available for sale. Bee-friendly wildflower seeds were given as a gift with any Gisou purchase to give customers a chance to help save the honey bees.   Beepeekers on Location Raising awareness for the honey bees lied at the forefront of the Gisou at Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées collaboration. To educate visitors, bee experts were on location to tell the story of the honey bees. As a sixth generation beekeeper herself, Gisou founder Negin Mirsalehi was present to lend her insights on the importance of honey bees, Gisou’s key ingredients, and beekeeping during a Q&A session with Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées Creative & Merchandising Director, Clara Cornet. Negin extracted a batch of ‘Gisou Honey’ by hand during the launch, and jars of this ‘Gisou Honey’ were gifted to select loyal Gisou customers. Launching the Propolis Infused Polishing Primer Gisou at Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées was, in essence, a celebration of the exclusive in-store launch of Gisou’s latest product, the Propolis Infused Polishing Primer at Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées. The key ingredient of the Propolis Infused Polishing Primer is propolis, the meaning of which served as a connecting thread for this collaboration.  Although propolis in a literal sense is a natural, bee-derived product, the word propolis comes from the Greek words “pro” (before) and “polis” (city). Taking this meaning into account, propolis served as a unifying element that linked the launch of the Propolis Infused Polishing Primer to the events’ simultaneous ode to urban beekeeping ‘for the city.’ Where to buy Gisou in Paris? Gisou is available at Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées - 60 Av. des Champs-Élysées in Paris and via www.gisou.com. 

Gisou at Angelina represents the collaboration of two masters in their crafts as they were brought together through the binding nature of honey. On September 26th 2018, Gisou by Negin Mirsalehi and Angelina celebrated their collaboration with an exclusive press & influencer event at the premier Angelina Boutique on 226 Rue de Rivoli. Gisou at Angelina Paris As they joined forces for this exclusive event, the haircare line, Gisou, and pâtissier, Angelina, aimed to bring more awareness to the importance of bees and the increasing scarcity of honey by presenting an unforgettable taste experience. Exclusive Gisou At Angelina Honey Pastry Honey is the binding agent that linked Gisou and Angelina for this exclusive collaboration: honey from the Mirsalehi Bee Garden is the key ingredient in Gisou haircare products, just as it serves as the key ingredient in the exclusive Gisou at Angelina pastry. The Taste of Mirsalehi Honey The special Mirsalehi honey incorporated in Angelina’s exclusive pastries was hand-extracted from the hive by Negin and her father. Mirsalehi honey boasts hints of spiciness from surrounding Hogweed plants to bring an overall rich and unique taste experience. The taste of Gisou’s Mirsalehi honey is unlike any other and inspired Angelina’s patissiers to create the special Gisou at Angelina pastry, emphasizing its unique flavor. Christophe Appert, Angelina's pastry Chef, created a refined éclair pastry decorated with a chocolate plate décor, shaped like hive alveolus. He had the aim to create a pastry revealing the purity of honey through a gourmet experience: transpose its shiny and bright texture and enhance the perfect balance between its sweet taste and its powerful floral notes.  A smooth choux pastry was filled with a Mirsalehi honey infused cream and caramelized almonds to provide hints of sweetness and richness. A delicate honey jelly served to release a fresh flavor. A light honey ganache and the modern alveolus chocolate plate décor finalized this indulgent and elegant éclair pastry. An ode to the bees! Gisou at Angelina Pop-up Boutique The Gisou at Angelina Pop-Up Boutique ran during Paris Fashion Week, from 26-28 September 2018 at Angelina at 226 Rue de Rivoli. In the boutique, Gisou and Angelina products were both available for purchase. Special attention was given to the livelihood of honey bees and the tenuous process of harvesting pure honey. Guests gained more insight into the decline in the honey bee population, the increasing scarcity of honey, and the importance and necessity of flowers and bees to our ecosystem.
