Transforming The Senses With Umm Skincare

Instead of a metamorphosis, an amendment is made like when the sun is undeviatingly above the Equator. Add and subtract like a pH balancing titration to retain who we really are and ultimately prevent disease and disorientation. The most delightful and immediate method is through beauty routines. Umm Skincare champions this odyssey with a collection that transforms the senses. They describe it as “neuro-sensory” based on ‘ancient bath ritual’ from India. While the carefully curated amalgamation of scents travels from the olfactory system to the GBA and HPA axis (gut-brain and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal), we travel to a moment of becoming.

Cedar in the Club: Diptyque Jazzes Up Orphéon

Orphéon has elements that summon intrigue and renewal- forbidden tonka bean, boho vintage Paris and a brand story. Thinking of an old Parisian jazz club conjures images of plush velvet blue seating and dark oak round drink tables. Its grains lit up by a small votive candle and intimate stage lights. Only fine wisps of high-quality tobacco smoke and tunes of Satchmo fill the air. Unfortunately, hypnotic is not the adjective for it. This product line and experience is held together like tobacco. Essentially, Diptyque’s Jazz Club in NYC is a free little coffee shop where candles are available for purchase and a live band plays jazz.
