The world of perfume inspires ‘Lights’

A tribute to the world of fragrance.

‘‘Eau de Lumière‘‘ created by designer Davide Oppizzi takes its inspiration from the world of Luxury Perfume.

From a sculptural point of view, it symbolizes the iconic form of the perfume bottle. It extracts the essence and finesse of fragrance flacons, plays with the volume of bottles and the refraction of light in fine lines, folds and creases with the glass.

A light for HER and HIM

The design work focused on the masculine and feminine forms, with curves or angles and in different sizes, by combining them and using natural materials such as wood, marble and fabrics to produce a complete and rich collection. These shapes, materials and colors, used in the same space allowed the designer to inject a homogeneous but varied spirit and a strong personality. The collection offers several forms (table lamps, wall lamps, suspensions, and chandeliers) and sizes of lights, some them of shown in this article.

For more details please refer to the manufacturer’s website:

Thanks to Oppizzi’s technical expertise, the integrated LED source illuminates perfectly, retro-lighting the interior color and the fine materials of the lamp. He offers a choice of finishing in wood (oak) or white Carrara marble, together with matching textiles.

Based in France, Designheure is a manufacturer of modern, contemporary lights. Its offers interior architects and designers, tailor-made lighting solutions to set accents in unique projects or custom installations. On the other hand, Designheure’s collections produces contemporary, elegant and yet innovative lights.

The Power of Presence

Hi Beautiful People,

Recently I had to make a large IMPACT at an event. I was both excited and nervous about it at the same time. I knew I was going to be in the company of some big hitters and I wanted to be memorable – but for all the right reasons. To gain the respect of the group, I have a number of hints and tips that have worked for me for years.

I shared my secret tips with one of the conference members and they thought it was so good I was asked to come and share my tips with their whole executive team. You see, after 30-odd years in the fashion and beauty industry, you pick up stage secrets and esteem-boosters and they become second nature. These exact same skills can be taught to boardroom and C-Suite executives. You won’t find these in a Leadership manual; but the role of a Leader is often the one of a performer. If you lead a team of people, you need to have style, swagger and be in the state of total focus.

Confidence is King when it comes to holding court. People need to trust you. Confidence is not arrogance. It’s not about being better than others; it is about trusting in your own ability.

Respect is both earned and learned. The first respect needs to be self respect. For example, walking the talk; being the type of person you would want to meet. It’s then you gain respect from others. When these skills align, you gain influence and this evolves as presence. People who trust you will change their behaviour or thinking in your favour. It’s why high profile people have influence over their fans. “I’ll have what she’s having!” attitude.

‘Presence’ is not reserved for the elite. Far from it. In fact when you have unique #presence, it is your gift to the world. People admire you and they want to be around you. In return, you make others feel special and wonderful; because it is the real connection, the authentic interest, that people crave.

I went to two funerals last month within 5 days of each other. Although sad, they are a good reminder of how precious life is and how quickly it can be over. So please please don’t play it small. Spread out those beautiful wings and fly! If you can’t do it alone – you have my email address. Let’s do it together! It’s what I do. Let me show you how amazing you truly are!

Signature Scent In Lingerie Drawer

Keep your perfume in your lingerie drawer. Perfume works best on warm skin rather than fabric so the best time to apply it is when you are putting on your underwear. (Yes, nude!)

The bonus is you’ll remember to apply it daily as well as increasing its shelf life by keeping the perfume out of the sunlight. You’ll be just smelling beautiful. x

How Predictable Are You ?

Yes, we crave routine. It helps us remain sane in our ever busy lives. However, this basic need can also become our ball and chain. Sometimes you need a gentle shove to stop being so predictable (aka Boring to even thyself!). To create a refreshing, engaging life try simple things like … Walk a different route. Order a different coffee from a different coffee shop. Wear something you already own differently or mix up accessories like you’ve never done before.

“It’s easier to stay in one look and one comfort zone. It’s inspiring to see someone whose only predictable quality is being unpredictable.”

Put your hair up in a new style. Go and speak to the woman at work you’ve not spoken to before. Give your neighbour some home-made muffins. Instead of having the meeting in the board room, tell everyone it’s a walking meeting and take it outside. Mix two lipstick colours together. Eat differently at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Seriously – the opportunities are endless. Get excited about your life again! And do so with gusto! Why? … Because you are worth it! ‪

Colour Combo’s | What works

The best colour combinations always come from mother nature. Simply put together the colours you see around you.  For example, dusty rose and grey.   These work perfectly.

A guest post by Trish Murray – trish@trishmurray.com.au – www.trishmurray.com.au

Think about last night:

• Did you experience the fragrance notes of your last meal ?
• Did you feel the texture of the food in your mouth ?
• Do you feast on a banquet with your eyes ?

Why not create a ‘dinner for your senses’ ?

A ‘sense dinner’ feeds and stimulates all of your senses, not just your taste buds. It is the combination of a fine meal, exquisite wine, fantastic table decorations, a fabulously scented room with luxuriously fragranced candles.

In fact, with a ‘sense dinner’ you will enjoy multi-sensorial dinner:

• Taste: this is fine dining but you only taste in four dimensions: sweet, sour, bitter and salty. The mulitverse of flavours you experience when dinning all come from the nose.
• Nose: this is the olfactory part of the dinner. It turns a meal into fine dining through the scents of the food you prepared. It is the aroma you notice before you eat and the richness of the flavours while you dine.
• Eyes: the presentation of the meal, fantastic table settings and the beauty of the room will all enhance your meal.
• Touch: do you sit comfortably ? What does the cutlery feel like to the touch but also when you place it in your mouth ?

When you prepare the next dinner for somebody special, think about all of these senses ! They will sense the difference.

How about reviewing the next restaurant you are going to dine in ? Ask you friends & family around the table what their senses think of the meal and the restaurant. You may be surprised.

Have you ever given your dinner a ‘Scent Theme’ ?

Here are some thoughts:

• ‘chocolate’: Mexican Chocolate Chicken, chocolates with the coffee, a chocolate scented candle in the room, …
• ‘rose’: Chinese shrimp in rose Schnapps to start, grilled sirloin steak and rose chutney, rose scented turkish delight with the coffee, a reed diffuser with beautifully rose fragrance on the sideboard, …
• ‘lavender’: lavender scented bisquits

Let a ‘dinner for your senses’ inspire your creativity.

Here at PAIRFUM we automatically sense the ‘fragrance’. What do you do ? Do you taste first and then enjoy the aroma ?

1. Find the Perfect Niche Fragrance

Picking the perfect niche fragrance for your mum is an art that requires a deep understanding of her perfume preferences. Niche fragrances are highly sought after for their unique and sophisticated aromas, making them the perfect gift for a discerning mother. 

To find the ideal niche fragrance, consider her personal style and the types of fragrances she typically wears. Pay attention to the occasions she wears them for, such as everyday wear or special events. Ask for recommendations from her friends or family members, and consider the brands and perfumes that she already loves. 

With this information, you can select a niche fragrance that perfectly captures your mum’s unique personality and style. Whether it’s a floral, woody, or fresh note, a niche fragrance is a luxurious and memorable gift that your mum will treasure for years to come.

Having trouble picking just one niche fragrance from our incredible collection? Check out our perfume experience box that allows you to try 12 different fragrances, each with exceptional notes.

2. Choose Aromatic Candles and Essential Oils

Aromatic candles and essential oils would make an ideal gift for a relaxing Mother’s Day. These fragrant products not only add a beautiful aroma to any room, but they also provide a sense of calm and relaxation that your mum will surely appreciate, making them an all-time favourite amongst Perfect Mother’s Day Gifts.

Our natural candles come in a variety of fragrances, from fresh and invigorating to warm and cosy. Choose one that reflects your mum’s personal preferences or one that will create a calming atmosphere for her. Essential oils, on the other hand, can be used in a diffuser or blended with a carrier oil for a massage. 

Whether she uses them for aromatherapy, stress relief, or simply to create a cosy ambiance, your mum will love these fragrant gifts. Both fragrant candles and essential oils make wonderful additions to a soothing spa day or even a quiet evening at home. So, light a candle, diffuse some essential oils, and let your mum unwind during this Mother’s Day.

3. Find Aromatic Room Sprays and Room Diffusers

Room sprays and room diffusers make thoughtful gifts that will create a fragrant home environment for your mum. Room sprays are a quick and easy way to add a burst of freshness to any room. They come in a variety of aromas, from floral and fruity to earthy and musky, so you’re sure to find one that your mum will love. 

Room diffusers are a more long-lasting option and perfect for creating a continuous and subtle fragrance in your mum’s home. These diffusers come in a range of styles, from sleek and modern to charming and decorative. Choose one that matches your mum’s home decor and personal style. 

Both room sprays and diffusers make wonderful gifts that will help your mum turn her home into a fragrant haven. Whether she uses them to freshen up the living room, bedroom, or bathroom, your mum will love these thoughtful gifts that make her home smell as beautiful as she is.

4. Create a Personalised Fragrant Gift Basket

If you’re overwhelmed with the variety of aromatic products, why not create a personalised fragrant gift basket for your mum as a thoughtful and unique way to show her how much you care? Choose a selection of her favourite fragrances, such as candles, niche perfumes, skin-care products, or essential oils, and present them in a beautiful basket. 

You can also add a few special touches, such as a handwritten note, a bouquet of fresh flowers, perfumed botanicals, or a cosy blanket. Consider your mum’s personal preferences and choose products that will truly delight her. For example, if she loves spa days, include luxurious bath products and a soothing candle. If she loves nature, choose floral aromas and essential oils. 

A personalised fragrant gift basket is a wonderful way to show your mum that you’ve put thought and care into her gift. It’s a sentimental and practical present that she’ll cherish for years to come.

Some Of Her Life’s Highlights

Gabrielle Coco Chanel lived an inspirational life and these are some of the highlights:

• She created THE iconic brand in fashion (not to mention her ‘little jacket’).
• Gabrielle (Coco was her nickname) was an orphan and it was the nuns in her orphanage that taught her how to sew! She started as a singer in Paris and it was designing & making her own costumes that led her into fashion design.
• It is inspiring to remember that “Chanel”, her fashion label, was forced to close during World War II, and only re-opened in 1954, when she was 71 years old !
• After World War I, Coco Chanel liberated women from the “corseted silhouette” and introduced a sportive, casual chic for women.
