Pauline Rochas: Cherished Connection 

Pauline Rochas Was born into the world of scent. She uses scents to take us back to our origins, to transform and heal, to allow a sense of wellbeing to emerge. 

The Awakening is based on a bed of sensual and powdery white musk. Its energizing top notes are highlighted by a sea breeze, bringing that feel good factor we associate with sea and summer holidays. With the zesty scent of newly cut grass, tart crisp green apple, and the clean aroma of spearmint, as well as uplifting lime, used to ward off evil spirits. Ginger, “the oil of empowerment”, is said to inspire confidence. It stimulates and enhances concentration. Finally, Vitamin C is the turbo booster against fatigue.

Midnight Breaths is a night oil with its strong woody undertones that evokes a warm earthy and smoky scent with grounding properties allowing one to surrender to the earth. Body and mind. Vetiver is known for alleviating emotional trauma while Cedarwood’s aromatic, yet sedative touch brings sleep and comfort. Sandalwood oil is used in both Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. Anxiety is quietened. Cardamom provides a soothing tonic for the mind and emotions. As CBD is inhaled through the olfactory system, it relaxes, relieves stress and is uplifting. 

Pauline Rochas: The Seven Collection

This unique sensory navigation system responds to personal quests by activating the seven chakras. The 7 unisex perfumes are based on Yogic and Ayurvedic traditions. Essential oils correspond to each chakra mapping out and awakening innermost desires and values. Each elixir is made with rare and luxurious ingredients from all around the world. Think of your perfume as a unique message in a bottle.

With its composition of top, heart and base notes, it communicates through scent. It arouses emotions resonating to the heart all the way down through the body. The most powerful memories are associated with the limbic sense of smell. Intuition, sixth sense and memories will lead you to the right fragrance – your second skin.

New Brand Alert: Monastery

It was in the Greek Cyclades that Athena Hewett first experienced the power of aromatherapy and natural skincare. Her grandmother pressed oil from their own grove and mixed sage, chamomile, and rosemary into tonics to purify and heal her skin. After a decade studying and practicing skincare and aesthetics, Athena realized that technology had not improved on her grandmother’s holistic recipes for purifying and healing skin. In 2011, Athena opened a skincare studio in San Francisco to treat her patients with different methods of oil cleansing, water free moisturizing and alcohol and salt free skincare.

Alongside her practice, Athena introduced a collection of natural skincare — a blend of the best nature has to offer, with essential oils carefully chosen for their non-irritating properties. Each ingredient is of the purest form and highest quality. A tightly curated product range, made in small batches at Monastery's studio in San Francisco. Some of our favorites?
