Signature Trait: Knows the fabric content of every item in their closet.
Words to Live By: “Fewer, better things” and “less is more.”
The Gift: Gold Imperial Oscietra, because nothing is more luxe than gold.
The Refined Aesthete
This friend’s exquisite taste is not a matter of opinion. With an eye for excellence, standout personal style, and a rare talent for transforming basic to beautiful, this individual will splurge on true quality but never overpay even a little for anything they deem “less than.”
Always there for your curation and coordination needs, this is who you call to decode a dress code, decorate any room, or put the finishing touch on pretty much anything.

You’ll Often Hear: “I found this, and it’s so you!”
The Gift: Anything from the Curated Collection gifted with a caviar key they will be excited to add to their keychain.
The Luxe Health Enthusiast
For this friend, wellness is anything but routine—it’s a fully curated experience. Their “essentials” include private pilates sessions, weekly IV drips at a luxury clinic, and a personal chef crafting organic, anti-inflammatory meals.
Signature Trait: Their wellness routine is more thorough than most people’s yearly health appointments.
You’ll Often Hear: “Can we make it a late lunch? I have my standing cryo appointment that day.”

Altima Caviar is not only selling and promoting a delicious, celebratory food, but one that is full of tangible benefits.
The Boujee Purist
With standards as high as the ceilings in their impressive foyer, this friend has little patience for anything subpar. Whether it’s a particular vintage of wine, a precisely mixed cocktail, or a specific ply of cashmere, they know exactly what they want—and settling for less is never an option.

You’ll Often Hear: “Not good enough.”
The Gift: Beluga Hybrid, because nothing says “high standards” like Beluga caviar.
The Host Extraordinaire
Their invitations arrive well in advance, their tablescapes are stunning, and their seating arrangements are always spot-on. At this friend’s home, everything is always in order, there’s a closet dedicated to dinner party decor, and fresh flowers are always on display.
The One Who: Introduced you to your favorite caterer and florist.
You’ll Often Hear: “Oh, I’m so glad you’ll be in town for my annual season kick-off/Christmas/ New Year’s event this year!”
The Gift: Amber Oscietra because it’s a crowd pleaser and this one’s always serving a crowd.
The Jet-Setting Nomad
Always “just back from” or “about to head to.” This is the wanderlust in your life with whom every conversation starts with, “Wait, when did you get back?”
Tell-Tale Sign: You never cancel plans with this friend because you never know when they’ll be back in town.
You’ll Often Hear: “OMG, it’s like I’m sitting at my favorite restaurant in (always a different city).”
