Switzerland-based perfumer Andy Tauer has launched three room perfumes, which can also perfume your skin and fabrics. Tauer says, “The room fragrances are rich in naturals, and are micro encapsulated in a carrier, making them last. And because they are water based: they are safe to use, too.” He adds “the sprayer is simply amazing. This is actually pretty hightech. It even sprays upside down!”
Enjoy your After-Work drinks! You deserve it! Yours, Fran

Here’s an interesting set of masks from South Korean Tony Moly. It’s a 5 days project to beautiful skin, with 5 different masks.
I can imagine all different kinds of applications for these weekday projects… such as home fragrances or hair care etc., where you have different products for each day!
Vinésime, a skincare company, takes us to Burgundy.
From Burgundy’s prodigal nature, Vinésime develops “vintage-inspired” cosmetic extracts originating in prestigious vineyards, and combines them with extracts of fruits, flowers and plants such as the Burgundy Blackcurrant, Montmorency Cherry, Burgundy Truffle and many others…
VINÉSIME is the fruit of the meeting of two enthusiasts: Edouard Damidot (left), reviving his family’s tradition in blackcurrants, and Bernard Bouvier (right), following his family’s footsteps in the vineyard.
We have been educated that eliminating bacteria from our body and skin would result in greater cleanliness. Although, having a decent balance of bacteria on our skin is a precursor to healthy skin. Useful bacteria once lived on humans until we started disinfecting our body with an abundant amount of lotions. One trillion microbes live on our skin, why try to suddenly get rid of them?
David Whitlock, an MIT-trained chemical engineer and founding scientist of Mother Dirt, thought differently. He was curious to comprehend why the horses would surprisingly roll themselves into the soil. Following countless reflections and experiments he realized that the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, found in soil, was helping the animal clean itself. He believed that vaporizing a live-bacteria solution on the face and the body helped reduce user’s dependence on soap, deodorant and moisturizer.
This is when AOBiome – the leading skin micro biome company and first cosmetics company to market product purposely containing live bacteria – came into the picture. The Cambridge-based startup helped commercializing Whitlock’s idea that was once just a curiosity. The new line of personal care products, known as Mother Dirt, includes AO+ Mist spray, a shampoo and cleanser. They all either restore or help maintain good bacteria on the skin.
AOBiome targets to change our prevailing beliefs around cleanliness – and to teach us to embrace our skin as a rich living ecosystem. Here is their video:
It is well-known that massaging your skin is good against wrinkles, but Shiseido takes it one step further! Their approach is based on the movement of touching the skin whilst listening to the comfortable sound of water droplets. This music software allows the customer to appreciate the comfort of skin care techniques: take 4 minutes of your time before going to sleep or after waking up and listen to the sound whilst creaming your skin.
There is also a video showing you the massage techniques step-by-step.
I guess Shiseido aims more for the inner beauty with this new product, since taking a moment for yourself has always proven to be beneficial! Nice idea! Yours, Fran
South Korean BRTC has a new line featuring Omega oils derived from salmon roe. The marketing claim is supported by the special texture: capsules mimicking roe.
