By Dorianne Frère
Is it still possible to innovate in perfumery? Absolutely. Poécile, a niche perfume brand from Auvergne launching in 2021, is proof enough. Its creator, Léa Chonier, wanted to take us on a journey with her fragrances, vibrant references to our French landscapes. Since the brand's creation, 6 fragrances have been created, distributed mainly in niche perfumeries.

WHY IS IT INTERESTING FOR BEAUTICIANS?
Beauty salon customers are evolving. They're looking for experiences. Experiences you can create by integrating different textures, fragrances and sounds into your treatments.
A treatment in Alpine country
For example, you can offer an immersive experience in the Alps.
To achieve this, you can offer your customers a welcome drink such as alpine herbal tea, and decorate the cabin around natural elements such as wood, stone... During the treatment, you can incorporate mountain-scented cosmetics into your protocol: pine essential oil, edelweiss extracts... And to create a real mountain atmosphere in winter, you can perfume your cabin with Mont Cristal fragrance. At the end of the treatment, you can apply a fresh mist of alpine herbs to energize the skin.
