Our discoveries of the month: fragrance as a travel companion
This month feels like a time between two worlds. Summer is still in full swing, but the days are slowly taking on a softer edge. Your skin carries the warmth of being outdoors; your routine can feel a little lighter, and scent becomes a reminder of places you’ve been – or still long to visit.
This month, we’re highlighting four brands that perfectly capture that feeling. COOLA offers sun protection with the laid-back energy of California. goop elevates daily self-care to a moment you consciously savour. ānti makes perfume exciting, playful and culturally rich. Memo Paris makes scent feel like a book full of travel memories.
Together, they form a selection for those days in August when your skin needs protection, your routine calls for a bit of attention, and your senses long to be somewhere else for a while.
Why we’re highlighting these brands now
Late summer calls for products that move with you naturally. An SPF you’ll enjoy applying. A cleanser that gently washes the heat of the day from your skin. A fragrance that transports you back to a place, a moment, a mood.
COOLA
COOLA comes from California and embodies that lifestyle: lots of time outdoors, plenty of sun, and a mindful approach to what you put on your skin. COOLA’s sun cream contains plant-based ingredients such as algae and red raspberry seed oil. Rich in antioxidants and designed to protect the skin gently, without unnecessary additives.

ānti
ānti views perfume as if it were a treasure hidden beneath layers of time. The brand is inspired by the very first perfume known to humankind: a sacred Egyptian blend of myrrh and frankincense. From this starting point, ānti delves into forgotten fragrance traditions, rituals and pop culture. Founders Larissa and Brieuc call this ‘olfactory archaeology’.
