Looking for a refreshment in these hot summer times? Juniper Sling is probably the brightest interpretation of juniper berries ever made. The fresh and spicy #gin-tonic vibe is rendered extra spicy through pepper and cardamom, after which the scent slowly evolves to the more green and woody facets over #vetiver. Top notes: angelica, cinnamon, orange, juniper berries Heart notes: cardamom, iris, leather, pepper Base notes: vetiver, cherry, amber #junipersling #penhaligons #necessitiesantwerp 📷 @penhaligons_london

Dark by @akrofragrances Dark is a remarkable interpretation of #chocolate. Where most #fragrances would fully embrace the sweetness of its gourmand source of inspiration, Dark explores the bitter and sometimes animalic side of black chocolate. This eccentric eau de #parfum surprises by combining the edible creaminess of #cacao and #vanilla with a dark blend of natural #agarwood (oud), #patchouli and #leather. Nutty, smokey, creamy, sweet, bitter, animal-like. A very faceted fragrance by master perfumer Olivier Cresp. #Dark #Akro #ChocolatePerfume #OlivierCresp #NecessitiesAntwerp #chocolatebyguntherwatte

Floris has been around for almost 300 years. The British #perfume house was established in 1730 and is still purveyor of British nobility such as the Duke of Malborough and the Prince of Wales. For Neroli Voyage, the perfume house found a beautiful blend between tradition and innovation. Neroli is the twin sister of orange blossom, and while it also smells of honey, white flowers and citrus, there’s a purifying green, aromatic side to it that feels very #summery. This was blended with a more #aquatic, marine undertone alongside ginger and #jasmine. The result is a #Mediterranean #fragrance that feels perfect for summer. #nerolivoyage #floris #necessitiesantwerp 📷 @florislondon

Escentric Molecules always comes in pairs. The #Molecule consists of a single ingredient, whereas the #Escentric is a more complex composition built around the component. Molecule 05 is built around #Cashmeran. Cashmeran is a complex ingredient, with touches of #wood, #patchouli, fruit, rich #spices and #vanilla. The #scent is supposed to evoke the soft sensuality of cashmere. The effect is characterful but #minimalistic, ideal for people who enjoy a modern wood scent. In Escentric 05 Cashmeran is still the main player, but many more ingredients have been added. The idea was to create a #summery, sea-like #fragrance without using traditional marine notes. A day on a #Mediterranean island, with all the #aromatic and resinous facets of the plants and trees. The fragrances consist of the #citrusy freshness of #bergamot, the aromatic greenness of #juniper berries, #rosemary and laurel, while the richer base is built around Cashmeran, #cypress and labdanum. The first customers that order a 100 ml bottle of Escentric 05 or Molecule 05 will receive a complimentary discovery set with Escentric Molecules’ eight previous fragrances.

Due to many requests, we went looking for a partner that brings together hand sanitizing and artisanal production. Our eye fell on @bravanariz, a small Spanish manufacturer that works with 100% #natural essential oils. Bravanariz hand #sanitizers do not contain petroleum-derived gels or thickeners. Instead, the brand opts for vegetal #glycerin and organic aloe vera to naturally hydrate the skin. The #fragrance is rustic and full of character, with an #aromatic and invigorating combination of #pine wood, #rosemary and #bergamot. This is a liquid hand sanitizer containing 70% alcohol, not a hand gel. Available in a 500 ml pump and a 100 ml bottle. #Washyourhands #handsanitizer #Bravanariz #NecessitiesAntwerp

Un Matin d’Orage is a celebration of #Spring, the smell of purified nature after rain. This eau de parfum starts off as a playful combination of spicy freshness thanks to #ginger and #lemon, whereas the green, watery facets enhance the spring-like effect. Although this freshness is maintained, the #fragrance becomes more floral thanks to a dominant bouquet of #gardenia and #jasmin. 💐🍋☀️🌿 #springinabottle #unmatindorage #goutalparis #necessitiesantwerp

We’re washing our hands more than ever, but keeping them moisturized is just as important. Luckily, @diptyque’s got us covered with their luxurious hand #soap, scented bar soaps, hand #lotion and hand balm. It’s the little luxuries that count these days... #washyourhands #staysafe #diptyque #necessitiesantwerp
