On Monday, the Ministry of Industry and Trade announced that the perfume and cosmetic brands Lancome, Redken, Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani and Kerastase were excluded from the list of parallel imports.

This became possible thanks to the decision of the companies to resume deliveries of their products to Russia.

The Kering holding (the owner of Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, etc.) at the beginning of March said: we will close stores in Russia, but we will continue to “provide support to local teams and closely monitor the development of the situation.”
