After months of teasing everyone through their social media accounts, style siblings Vern and Verniece Enciso have finally unraveled what their newest endeavour—VV and Co—is all about in an intimate and exclusive lunch with MEGA.

Influential guests and friends of the sisters arrived at Mango Tree Bistro all sporting their own interpretation of the day’s theme of pastel chic—a fitting tribute to the Enciso sisters’ signature style.
The Enciso sisters stole the show with their own take on sheer dressing, revealing how similar yet different they are from one another. Verniece dolled up in an embellished tulle number and Vern showing her vampy side with a wine red Patty Ang ensemble.
Before revealing what VV and Co finally is, the sisters further teased everyone with a carefully orchestrated game wherein their very willing players—Tessa Prieto-Valdes and Tim Yap—guessed various scents, hinting at what the cosmetic brand is all about. Afterwards, the guests were presented with two immaculate boxes with the VV and Co stamp, eagerly awaiting to be opened.
During this exclusive and private lunch with MEGA, the sisters also shared their dream of over 10 years of having a perfume of their own, and through their own determination has finally come to fruition. When asked why fragrance is important to them, the sisters coyly replied that they are attracted to people who smell good. They then specifically sourced the oils and curated the mix themselves. The result are two fragrances that share a delicately feminine allure yet remain distinctly different.
The Vern perfume calls to mind the sophisticated woman with its combination of citrus, woody, and amber notes juxtaposed with hints of florals via jasmine and freesia. While the Verniece eau de toilette is a delicate mix of florals with jasmine, violets, and roses notes fuses with the zest of melon and orange—perfect for the sweet and young lady. Both scents are bottled in a brilliant bottle selected by the sisters.
All the guests were treated with a first-ever look—and smell—of the fragrances. The brand’s website went live and was ready for orders simultaneously with all the posts on social media coming in about VV and Co. The launch might have proved to be too successful as the website crashed shortly after it opened. But worry not as VV and Co has started accepting orders via social media.
