Budapest Bath Salts
OMOROVICZA
A bath is my favorite part of the day; it's a time to rest, reset, and I like to celebrate it. The Omorovicza blend contains four different types of salts, as well as essential oils of rosemary, sage, geranium and chamomile. It relaxes, reduces inflammation and supposedly rejuvenates — everything I like.

Skin Activator
WESTMAN ATELIER
I was convinced by Marieke from Westman Atelier and Paulina, who works with us; I wrote about it on my Instagram. Importantly, this IS NOT a primer! It's a full-fledged skincare product — a serum after which you supposedly look like a “glazed doughnut” (quoting Paulina). I'll try it!

Reawaken Hand & Body Wash
MAULI
Mauli has been one of my favorite brands for years. Why? Besides the scents that affect the senses, I am sure that every ingredient is thoughtfully chosen; I know the founders don't make compromises, that what they do is the result of their passion, experience and interests. And passion plus knowledge always convinces me.

Milky Soap
SANTA MARIA NOVELLA
I like bar soaps; they seem elegant to me and have something retro about them. My mother kept fragrant soaps sent by my sister from France in her lingerie drawers; she didn't know liquid soap. Today you could add to the list of advantages of bar soaps over liquid ones that they're ecological. There is a bar. There isn't a bottle. Apart from the paper wrapper, nothing is left.

Patera Adélaide
ASTIER DE VILLATTE
I have many interests; I often think too many, because I don't have enough time for them. One of them is ceramics. I admire beautiful ceramic objects “in person” and online. At Galilu we have Astier de Villatte, a French brand known for its dark terracotta porcelain glazed in milky white. Its imperfections and handmade craftsmanship make it unique, and I have a particular weakness for this platter.

Książka De La plante a l'essence/ From plant to essence
NEZ ÉDITIONS
Who would I like to be if I had another life? A gardener, preferably at an old British estate — it could be Sissinghurst. I read a lot and with pleasure about gardens and plants; this book is interesting for everyone who shares two passions: for plants and for scents (or at least for one of them).

The Body Cream
AUGUSTINUS BADER
As with all Augustinus Bader products, its uniqueness lies in the patented TFC8® complex; plus lots of other super ingredients. It really works.

Baby Cheeks Blush Stick
WESTMAN ATELIER
To be honest, I didn't pay attention to it (I don't use many makeup products) until I came under the brush of Amy Prior, a Westman Atelier makeup artist. It turned out that cool shades suit my complexion and light eyes, like Petal — perfect; the stick itself is fabulously easy to use.
