The Swedish retailer has tapped luxury perfume brand Byredo’s Ben Gorham to “explore new ways of adding scents in your home.”

The collection wants to take a “democratic approach to smell” and will feature a range of candles and perfumes.

 

Byredo’s regular scent range doesn’t come cheap — with candles costing $80 and perfume $150, so let’s hope IKEA helps lower those prices considerably.

Curious to smell! Yours, Fran

NOA Relaxation has combined cutting-edge scientific research with millennia-old traditions. The result is a beverage that helps you cope with stress and maintain focus.

Inspired by Scandinavian nature, NOA Relaxation uses natural herbs, colours, and flavours. The drink contains green tea extract with 200 mg L-theanine plus other active ingredients.

“It helps you to reduce stress and sharpen your mental capability such as increased concentration and memory function. L-theanin stimulates alpha brain waves associated with a relaxed, but alert state of mind. NOA Relaxation also contains Melissa, which decreases stress and increases cognitive function”.

To be honest, I’m very much into the pictures! Looks amazing! Yours, Fran

Anders Sandberg works at the place, where Stockholm’s oldest pharmacy used to be. But in his Pharmarium the guests do not only sit on the bar enjoying cocktails. Sandbergs pharmacybar kidnapps their visitors in a retro-exotic world full of different smells. The master of flavor shows how sensual an unexpected experience can be.

–> So obviously i had to have a closer look *smile*

The cocktail selection was not that easy… starting with ‘Dreamcatcher’ to ‘Perfume Maker’ to ‘Delirium’ and many more.

The presentation of the cocktails was amazing!!! Nothing was conventional: you could see the attention to detail and the love for the unusual.

We ordered, for instance, this cocktail, where the glass was filled with birch tree smoke!!! It was an awesome flavor explosion!

A definite MUST SEE when you are in Stockholm! Yours, Fran
