Offering more than 70 different sweets and chocolates, The BonBonist will launch in Pacific Place next month.

It is the brainchild of French confectionery expert Olivia Niddam, the former GM of French chocolatier Jean-Paul Hevin Hong Kong.

Presented in 10 themes, each with a virtual character, the treats are sourced from all over Europe, ranging from low-fat Guilt-Free Gloria to Sour Ninja Nino.

Customised packaging is available, and customers can mix and match to suit themselves, or for gifts or corporate occasions.

There will also be festive-season specials.

Niddam has had more than 10 years’ experience in France, Hong Kong and Japan, and has also worked for confectionary brand L’Eclair de Genie.

“The BonBonist combines luxury, sophistication and playfulness,” she says.
