The new Aroma-Zone store welcomes its customers in a complete eco-designed environment made of copper, wood and wicker.

The store counts 1.500 references, including around 200 essential oils from all around the world, ingredients dedicated to DIY cosmetics, and the ready-to-use skincare range.

There are also chemists, advisers, and digital search points to meet demands according to people’s needs.

The program of public and professional workshops, which take place in the training area, reinforce the customer intimacy. Each participant can prepare one or several recipes of natural, ultra-fresh skincare products in groups of 8 to 12 people.

There are two stores in Paris so far.

Lots of love! Yours, Fran

Do your own Rum at home!

Bramsrum is a surprising innovation of the traditional spirits bottle. The BRUM bottle speeds up the aging process of the alcohol considerably and moves it from the distillers cellars to your living room. 

Distillates, such as rum and whiskey, grow in quality by prolonged aging in oak casks. During this process, the wood gives off its flavor and the most volatile compounds evaporate through the wood, called: ‘The Angels’ Share’. It is the evaporation of this “angels’ share” which makes the beverage become softer and rounder. By replacing part of the bottle with a section of oak the BRUM bottle combines the best of both worlds: the benefits of a bottle and the aging qualities of a barrel.

Another example of the DIY trend. Indeed, we can do it ourselves! Yours, Fran

May Kukula’s Aroma set produces homemade room fragrances

German design student May Kukula has created a Moroccan-inspired pot and a set of tools that enable users to “cook” their own bespoke scents.

To create smells, a mixture of ingredients is boiled in a porcelain bowl; simmered over a candle flame, the smell evaporates through a hole in the lid and emits a scent for fragrancing a room.

This is how it works:

Beautiful design and great natural approach! Loving it! Yours, Fran

The Perfume Blend Kit / Fred Segal

Create Your Signature Scent at Home with Fred Segal’s DIY Fragrance Kit

The Blend contains 10 scented roller balls, each numbered and colour-coded, that can either be worn alone or mixed together to create thousands of customized scents.

The kit includes single-note fragrance oils, each one stored inside a convenient rollerball bottle for you to swipe on as you go. While the oils, ranging from clean and citrus to warm and spicy, are intoxicating on their own, the idea is to mix them together to create a scent (or several) that are unique to you alone.

But anyone who’s not so confident in their perfumer skills, need not worry—you’ll also be provided with recipes for 10 different scents to help get you started. So if you want to create “Morning Musk,” all you have to do is apply two swirls of Forest Patchouli on the skin, and then add five swirls of Clean Musk. Blend and voilà—you’re a master perfumer.

The Blend is available for $150 at sephora.com.

Let’s get ready for a crazy New Year’s Eve with scented sparkles! Yours, Fran

There are definitely strange new formats popping up, such as the hair conditioning cocktail from ORS. The range is called Shealicious and is made for curly hair.

Being inspired by yoghurts, the company claims that you can mix your fresh hair cocktail yourself. This could create more engagement and more transparency.

An easy DIY Cocktail for healthy hair.
