NARS Cosmetics opens its third India standalone boutique at Ambience Mall, Gurugram—a 320 sq ft space—less than three years after its October 2023 India debut, signaling continued luxury-beauty expansion via Shiseido India and GSSBB.

Why this matters

NARS is scaling India's owned-retail footprint rapidly—three boutiques in under two years since its October 2023 entry—mirroring Shiseido's broader push to control luxury-beauty distribution beyond department-store and multi-brand channels.

Store-openings holding steady at 139 signals over the last 90 days.
