How do we capture a memory? Olfactory sensation is one of the most effective ways to whisk us immediately back to a special moment. The & Other Stories Stockholm Atelier beauty department was tasked with capturing the idea of ‘vacation’ in a bottle, and created “Fornillo”.
Think of Positano and one imagines the Mediterranean, that particular sunlight, the deep greenery on the hillsides and the sands of the Amalfi coast lapped by the salt of the Tyrrhenian Sea. “Fornillo” embodies the very idea of a dreamy holiday, this time represented by the Italian Riviera, and named after one of Positano’s most iconic beaches.
The limited-edition fragrance is the latest addition to the brand’s, often location inspired, bath and body range. Detailed thought has been put into the specifically curated blend of notes, bringing together the breeze of fresh fruit markets and salt water washed Mediterranean driftwood, making you dream of endless days on the beach. The fragrance triangle features a blend of notes to bring that endless Summer feeling to mind. Building on a base of White Cedarwood and Liquid Musks, the mid notes become more floral with Dewy Apple Blossom, Ocean Orchid and Spring Lilac. The lightest notes of Fresh Cotton and Watermelon top this treasure of a trinity.
To add to the luxuriousness of it all, and to enable people to remember your enigmatic presence once you leave the room, you should layer “Fornillo” products. The limited-edition range includes a selection of & Other Stories customers’ favorites but introduces an entirely new product: Body Jelly. As the summer heats up, you will feel as comfortable as you are elegantly fragranced because the Body Jelly is deeply moisturizing, and at the same time lightweight, absorbs quickly and has a non-sticky formula. After starting with the Body Scrub and the Body Wash, continue to layer “Fornillo” by smoothing on the Body Jelly and add the finishing touches with a liberal spritz of the Body Mist, and a roll of the “Fornillo” Perfume Oil on your pulse points to ensure you keep that Summer feeling as long as possible. & Other Stories describes the “Fornillo” experience as “Fresh cotton and liquid musks, night -swimming in the glittering orchid waters of Positano.” Get ready to dive in.
The “Fornillo” range features Hand Soap, Body Mist, Body Wash, Body Lotion, Body Scrub, Mini Hand Cream, Perfume Oil as well as the new product Body Jelly. The whole range is now available at the & Other Stories’ stores in Grand Avenue – The Avenues, and on www.stories.com. Follow @andotherstories on Instagram for more lifestyle ideas.
