For us here at PAIRFUM, Alison Brooks Architects’ curving ‘smile’ was the stand-out installation this year. As a matter of fact, we are surprised it is not in the Guiness Book of record as the world’s biggest smile !
Another one of our favourites is Asif Khan’s MINI LIVING ‘forests’ installation in shoreditch, london.
It is placed designed to help us relax, increase our productivity and invite meet-ups.

25 Lessons From The London Fashion Week
Couture Fashion Summary
This year’s London Fashion Week has closed and for anybody interested in fashion it is time to sit back to take stock of what they have seen. What are the lessons from the London Fashion Week ?
It was a week with a very busy schedule and around 50 shows, too much for anybody to take in.
Here at PAIRFUM we investigate trends in fashion due to the intrinsic link between perfumery and fashion.
Sadly though, we cannot attend all 50 shows, which is why we prefer a simply summary for the events we could not attend.
Luckily, here is an interesting article with the 25 Lessons from The London Fashion Week.
During this week of fashion excellence, it is worth looking not only at what is being shown on the ‘cat walk’ but what is being worn outside on the street.
Here is a photo series with the best street style fashion looks spotted during the week:

Apartment Blends Modern And Classical
Harmonious Design.
This modern apartment in Kiev accentuates beautifully strong contemporary interior design against classic ornamentation. We would have liked to see more of this intriguing contrast.
The apartment has some spectacular views. We find though that the grey colour pallette, with only variations of brown as an accent colour, dominates too much throughout this luxurious home.
What do you think ?
We are missing some fragrance in this home: perfumed candles, reed diffusers, fragrant hand wash or lotions, eau de parfum sprays.
Unusual Cabin In The Woods
Good Design ?
Here is a link to a photo gallery for an unusual cabin in the woods in the Sugar Bowl Ski Resort of Norden, California.
In our opinion, it could blend in more harmoniously with its surroundings. The concrete foundation and the angular lines are not what one would have expected of an alpine cabin. We suspect as well that the tar-treated wood will probably overpower the fresh, ozonic fragrance of the spruce in the woods and mountains, at least at the beginning.
The views from inside out are fabulous though.
Multi Sensorial Sleep ?
Open Air Hotel
Here on pairfum.com we frequently write about about everything ‘multi-sensorial’. We believe it is one of the major trends unfolding at this moment.
In this context, we read this article with great interest about an Open Air Hotel.

We believe it offers a unique hotel experience. It is hard to believe that you will actually fall asleep with so many senses being stimulated: the natural sounds of the Swiss alps, the night’s stars for your eyes only, the fresh and organic fragrance of the mountains, and the soft touch and comfort of a luxurious hotel bed.
Who would not enjoy sleeping under the stars in such comfort ?
We do have one question though, where are the washroom and practical aspects of every hotel room ?
Pokémon Perfume
Fragrance Of The Game
Now you can also wear a Pokémon perfume whilst you are out and about playing the game. Or, … should you be looking for a fragrance Pikachu ?
