Layering scents is wonderful and rewarding, but sometimes it would be great to be able to blend your own scent and just carry it around with you in a bottle.

Now you can.
The Demeter Blending Tool Kit includes:
• ONE Fragrance Funnel
• SIX Droppers
• ONE 1 oz Refillable Bottle with Pump, Cap and a Customizable Label
• BLENDING STRIPS for easy blending

Everything you need to blend and personalize your own fragrance, using Demeter single note scents as your palette.  
All Demeter colognes are reusable, so they can be opened and the fragrances mixed in the Blending Bottle.

Express your scent-creativity the way you want! Lots of love from Romania. Yours, Fran

The absolute Customisation Trend – Twist’d

Tags

blog, consumers, customization, flavor, fragrance, Franziska Josteit, Hornall Anderson, In-Imitable, marketing, perfume, scent, snacks, spices, Twist'd

A UK retail magazine challenged the design industry to develop new snack concepts.

Hornall Anderson’s Twist’d concept has a lid that dispenses flavours onto the snack.

The snacks are without seasoning – until the lid is twisted. Consumers just have to give the lid a little twist to add the range of four quirky flavours, including Sea Salt & Seaweed, BBQ & Honey, Chilli & Chocolate and Cheddar & Stilton.

I guess non-food companies could easily borrow this idea to spice up your product.

Have a nice start of the week! Yours, Fran

No1 Rosemary Water… the new youth drink

The beginning of the Rosemary Water idea came for the following fact:

In the peaceful coastal hamlet of Acciaroli, Italy, villagers enjoy the good life – and they enjoy it for a while longer than the rest of us. More than one in ten residents make it up to (and well past) their hundredth birthdays, and without many of the problems that plague aging populations elsewhere around the globe.

Knowing this, the company investigated what ingredients the inhabitants use, and surpise… the villagers ate rosemary, and a lot of it.

Nice packaging combined with a great story –> successful start!

Yours, Fran

It always seems to be quite boring to explain to people how we really smell; I specifically mean the difference between the Ortho-nasal (through the nose) and the Retro-nasal (through the mouth) olfaction… Until The Right Cup came along!

Basically it’s a flavored cup that tricks the brain into thinking your plain water is flavored.

Here is the video that explains it all:

And of course there are multiple flavors to spice up your everyday!

This revolution will impact our eating habits for sure. Let’s keep an eye on it! Yours, Fran

Eating habits – let’s get healthy again!

A few days ago I’ve been at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven and i saw this inspiring concept of a young Dutch designer called Naomi Jansen, who wants to change the way of thinking in the healthcare sector.

She founded a company called Genees-Smakelijk based on the fact that industrial food makes 10% of our population sick. Our eating habits have more influence on our bodies than we might think.

Consequently, Naomi suggests that we should give patients pure natural ingredients that have a known effect on the health instead of giving chemical pills again.

Simple, but powerful approach! Well done! Yours, Fran

You probably know all about the discussions about a new world where medicinal Cannabis might be legal, or at least permitted, so it can be processed in food for medicinal purposes…

But it is award winning Madame Munchie who is really creating a new category of edibles. These products not only use local North California’s organic, but also medicinal and gluten-free ingredients.

Their focus is on providing wellness, relief and delicious smoke alternatives for their patients. This is a very interesting development, as the only edible alternative is the space cake so far…

I personally love the looks of the macarons! So cool! Yours, Fran

 

Cheesy stories…

I lately noticed a lot of dairy product claims on the beauty shelfs. Things you would not expect in your facial cream!

For instance, Tony Moly’s Wonder Cheese firming cream contains extracts from Gruyere & milk protein.

The Face Shop has launcheed a “Fresh Milk” cream.

Or how would you like oats on your skin? South Korean beauty care company Missha dared to do it!

Do you see what i mean? Yours, Fran
