I am sending you energy and love from Puglia, south of Italy! This is my first Yoga Retreat experience, and I have to say that I really enjoy!

We are 14 people from different countries, enjoying good food, nice weather and relaxation.

Yesterday we did a wine tasting at an old castle – what a great experience !

Our teacher for the 5 days.

I smell wonderful flowers (such as gardenia, jasmine, etc.), eat super nice food and relaxing by the pool is also not bad 😉

Yoga in nature! Or on the rooftop…

Thanks to Do.Be.See for organizing this!!!

Yours, Fran

Last week I went to Annindriya Perfume Lounge, a beautiful niche perfume store in Amsterdam, where Christophe Laudamiel presented his new collection THE ZOO. 


Christophe Laudamiel is a Master Perfumer, scent composer, lecturer, writer, and chemist champion.

He has co-created top 10 fragrances for major Houses such as Polo Blue for men by Ralph Lauren, Happy Heart by Clinique, Fierce by Abercrombie & Fitch, and other scents for the likes of Beyoncé, Tom Ford, Burberry, Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger.

He recently won the Art and Olfaction Award for the artisan category with his scent “Club Design”. Congrats!!!

Christophe Laudamiel

The nice thing about Christophe is that he openly tells stories about his creations, hurdles, collaborations, ingredients etc., which makes it very interesting to listen to him!

I wish you a lovely weekend! Yours, Fran

clock, copper, design, fragrance, Franziska Josteit, IMM Cologne, In-Imitable, marketing, olfaction, Patrick Palcic, perfume, scent, time

German designer Patrick Palcic presented at this year’s IMM Cologne a copper clock, where perfume leaks at hourly intervals onto the copper face.

IMM: Es Liegt Was in Der Luft by Patrick Palcic

Palcic created the clock, named “Es Liegt was in Der Luft” – or There Is Something in the Air – to offer an alternative way to tell the time.

Afbeeldingsresultaat voor Copper clock by Patrick Palcic

“The olfactory clock allows the user to experience the passage of time in a different way: Instead of the time being read, as with other timepieces, it hangs in the air and is inhaled” says the artist.

Seems like a fun project! Have a nice week. Yours, Fran

London Design Festival 2016: London artist Zuza Mengham has created an exhibition of crystal-shaped resin sculptures as a physical interpretation of Laboratory Perfumes‘ range of scents.

Mengham based each brightly coloured sculpture in the exhibition, titled Sculpting Scent, around the brand’s gender-neutral fragrances.

This includes scents like Atlas, containing notes of pipe tobacco alongside rum, vanilla and hay.

Mengham interpreted the different compositions of the fragrances as contrasting colours, angles and visual effects using resin.

She shows citrus scents as clear yellow, and layers translucent resin over speckled, slate-coloured sections to reflect combinations of notes.

The artist has also created pieces with internal patterns that resemble smoke, bubbles, and ink dropped into water. Transparent and opaque sections are placed alongside one another to create light and colour effects.

To me, those sculptures seem to be the perfect encapsulation of scent! Yours, Fran

Welcome to the first museum that reacts to emotions—and turns them into art.

Bildergebnis fĂŒr Museum of feelings

Is New York feeling exhilarated, calm, optimistic? The Museum’s exterior changes color to reflect the mood of the city by scraping social media and other real-time data.

Each installation invites emotional interaction. Touch, feel, play, listen, imagine and breathe. You can even step into the first kaleidoscope controlled by emotion.

“Float through the feeling of calm on a lavender cloud. Use your own biometric data to create a MoodLens—or unique emotional selfie—and match it with a perfect custom fragrance.”

Sponsored by Glade, the bigggest american airfreshener company, you quickly notice that the museum is ‘merely’ a great marketing campaign.

I hope you could still enjoyed the story! Yours, Fran

SmellSCAPES performance by Klara Ravat

Amsterdam, art, blog, distillation, experience, fragrance, Franziska Josteit, In-Imitable, Klara Ravat, Mediamatic, multi-sensory, Odorama, perfume, perfumery, scent, smell

In line with last weeks post, I went to the Odorama session called Art + Distillation, and one of the speakers was Klara Ravat with an impressive olfactory performance.

2 women were laying on a podium, when an electronic voice told the audience to gather 11 people around each of the laying woman. “Go on your knees. Take the perfume that is standing in front of you and spray/ drop it on the closest skin-point. Smell. Come closer and smell again. What do you feel? What do you smell?”

I observed the audience and found some puzzled faces… quite funny… e.g. on the foot, on the hair etc. Btw: the perfums were distallation works from Klara, whereas one was the Scent of Amsterdam that we distilled last Saturday in the workshop (see previous post).

The intention of Klara was to break that barrier of personal contact and to actually come closer to each other.

Nice message for a sunny start of the week! Yours, Fran
