You Smell Like GREEN

【法式簡約。零化學物的綠色香氣】

女生,總喜歡聞上去香香的。

身邊有些朋友卻容易皮膚敏感,就算無論有多喜歡香氣,也沒法使用香水。早陣子受 100BON 的邀請,做過一個 “100BON EXPERIENCE” - 對這個綠色品牌概念非常有好感,所以希望在這邊介紹一下。

Fragrance is an invisible (& the most attractive) accessory.

However, some friends of mine have to avoid perfume because of allergies (chemicals). Last week, I was happy to be invited by 100BON for a "100BON EXPERIENCE" - and I’ve fall in love with the green concept behind the brand immediately.

它來自法國,兩位創辦人以前都是國際香水品牌的香水專家,不過因為想專心製作好(BON)、健康及純淨的香氛,也不願意添加對人和地球有害的化學物,所以才創立 100BON。當中,所有香水來也是來自於100%天然原材料——不含石化原料、人工香精、致敏物質等等,讓擁有敏感肌膚,甚至是懷孕女性都可以安心使用。

此外,你會發現這個品牌有一點不同:它捨去過度包裝,也不做動物試驗,原料也是來自可持續的農業。100Bon,英文唸出是Scent Bon,意思是美好的香氣,回歸『香味』本質。

的確,有理念的綠色品牌是美好的。

100BON is the first French perfume manufacturer 100% dedicated to natural ingredients. With a collection of 100% natural fragrances, which are rechargeable, green and accessible. The perfumes are designed and developed in France based on essential oils, without colour, phtalates and petrochemicals - a safe & clean perfume for those with sensitive skin, even during pregnancy.

Their products are not tested on animal, with 100% vegetables ingredients, and minimises costly bottles and too much packaging, with a holistic “Green” philosophy.

自己搭配的專屬香氣

那天,我上了一課「香水體驗課程」,在三十多種不同香氣中找出自己喜歡的香氣,把多款香調堆疊——搭配出屬於自己的味道。每支100BON香水都可根據其香調分類分成前、中、後調,並按照個人喜好組合出完整香水結構;100BON特別之處,就是可以根據個人對香味的取向,選擇自己使用的順序而疊噴出獨特的香水組合,每款香水的呈現方式亦因此變得各有不同。基本上,是沒可能和別人「撞味」!

這個Tailor-made的過程其實很好玩~

Tailor-made & Layering

On that day, I took a “Discovery Workshop” - learning their concepts and natural perfumes as well as learning how to mix and match for creating my personalized perfume. With over 20 kinds of scents, I played with endless possibility with the sequence of layering. There were a lot of “experiments”, but that was really fun.

“So what is Charlotte’s Layering Combination?”

“The secret ingredient is always LOVE.” 太喜歡這一句了。

真正的可持續香氣

最後,最令我深刻的是,每一家店也可以重覆補充香水——只要拿回空瓶就可以了(價格也很相宜!)這樣不但減少耗材,也為地球盡一分力。

環保不只是說,而是要做啊!


A Sustainable & Rechargeable Perfume

What impressed me the most is their GREEN 100% REFILLABLE method. All of their perfumes can be recharged and refill this as many time as you wish in 10/10 HOPE store. Not only this minimise the waste, it also make each perfume much more affordable.
