Ritual of Sakura Candle

Just like these beautiful things, we now spend more time indoors, especially on Sundays. Make it the coziest place on the planet: light some scented candles, add some extra-comfy cushions, and snuggle up.

The ancient Hanami ceremony from Japan celebrates the fleeting beauty of the Sakura blossom. As with life itself, its beauty is short- lived and precious and should be enjoyed to the fullest. Discover the Ritual of Sakura and celebrate each day as a new beginning.

Make every day feel like a new beginning and rejuvenate mind, body & soul. Light your way to a new beginning with this luxurious scented candle from the Ritual of Sakura collection. Based on the renewing fragrance of cherry blossom and rice milk. The candle lasts for up to 50 hours.

Rice milk

Throughout Asia, rice is a symbol of abundance, happiness, and fertility. Rice Milk extract makes your skin soft and supple, and gives it a healthy glow.

Cherry Blossom

The fragile blossoms of the Sakura tree (Japanese cherry) are often described as spring snow by Japanese poets. For the Japanese, Cherry Blossom has symbolised the rebirth of nature and purity since ancient times. The delicate fragrance is wonderfully relaxing.

Let the candle burn for at least 3-4 hours for the first time to melt the top layer for an even burn. Meditation tip: Focus on the flickering flame and allow this single image to occupy your mind. Imagine you’re inhaling and exhaling the candlelight.

The Ritual of Sakura collection is available at Rituals boutiques and selected stores worldwide. Come into the beautiful world of Rituals.

New Rituals Fragrance: L’Eclat

Founded in the year 2000 by Raymond Cloosterman, Dutch cosmetics, home scents and fragrance company Rituals, offers a luxurious collection of high quality products, from body and facial care to scented candles, clothing, perfumes, make-up, and tea. The various Rituals collections have over the years found inspiration in Eastern traditions, for instance the ritualistic Persian tradition of Yalda, the ancient Chinese concept of Jing, or the Japanese legend of the Tsuru.

One of the perfume collections of this house is called Oriental Essences, it revolves around memories of journeys into the Orient, where the perfumers of this line uncovered a fragrant treasure box of exclusive spices and ingredients to compose a bespoke collection of Eau de Parfum.

Now the Oriental Essences Collection was expanded this Fall with a new perfume: L’Éclat, the nomad in their Eau de Parfum collection. The L’Éclat unisex perfume travels along different notes of a fragrant universe, leaving behind a uniquely scented footprint that is exlusive as well as captivating. Based on the clean, smooth undertones of neroli and enriched with sandalwood notes, l’Éclat can be layered or applied on its own to create an individual and bespoke bouquet.

Neroli is the name of the invigorating and stimulating essential oil distilled from the fragrant flowers of the bitter orange tree. The fresh, delicate, and sweet floral fragrance has an invigorating and energising effect. Mimosa, also known as the symbol of spring, has a floral and green scent, with powdery and honey notes. The mimosa flowers are mainly cultivated in Morocco, Egypt, India and Southern France.

The innovative fragrance can be layered with any Rituals perfume or used on its own. Rituals L’Éclat is offered in a travel size of 15 ml Eau de Parfum and a 50 ml flacon of Eau de Parfum and are available at Rituals boutiques and selected stores worldwide, and through the Rituals Website.

Rituals The Ritual of Ayurveda Dry Oils

The collection, inspired by the Asian science of life, the ancient wisdom of attaining a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit, now welcomes three 100% natural dry oils, each formulated to cleanse a specific dosha, or type of energy, and keep them in balance. In addition, the whole collection is relaunched in a new design, featuring some new, luxurious products as well as beloved bestsellers – 16 products in total.

If you’re new to Ayurveda, let me note that dosha is the central concept of Ayurvedic medicine. There are three doshas – Vata (airy element), Pitta (fiery element), and Kapha (watery element) – and the state of health is defined as a balance between these three elements. Since doshas are found everywhere, but in different ratios, the aim of The Ritual of Ayurveda collection is to help restore their balance, and subsequently improve health and well-being.

 

Three new dosha-balancing oils are formulated with 100% natural ingredients and Ayurvedic herbs, while all of the products of the range share the same base ingredients: Indian rose with Himalaya honey and sweet almond oil.

Rituals The Ritual of Ayurveda Vata Oil

 

The Ritual of Ayurveda Vata Oil is enriched with sweet almond oil and basil.

When Vata is balanced, you are joyful, creative and vital, but when Vata is imbalanced you are fearful and anxious.

 

Rituals The Ritual of Ayurveda Kapha Oil

 

The Ritual of Ayurveda Kapha Oil is formulated with invigorating ingredients such as ginger and cinnamon.

When Kapha is balanced, you are loving, forgiving and loyal, but when it is imbalanced, you can be insecure, envious and stubborn.

 

Rituals The Ritual of Ayurveda Pitta Oil 

 

The Ritual of Ayurveda Pitta Oil is based on soothing lavender and ylang ylang.

When Pitta is balanced, you are intelligent, content and a good leader, but when your Pitta is out of balance, you can be controlling, aggressive and demanding.

The rest of the product range includes shower foam, body scrub, hand lotion, bed & body mist and fragrance sticks. The collection is available for purchase at Rituals boutiques and selected stores.

 

 

 

 

Rituals Conquest of Paradise

Rituals started with the conquest of France. Dutch cosmetic house Rituals openend in Paris his very first boutique, in French territory. For the year end Paris gets there at least another two boutiques.

Rituals new shop at 24 Rue Vieille du Temple, Le Marais, Paris (Click photo to enlarge).

Now four weeks ago, the first French Rituals opened are doors in the Paris Le Marais district (photo). The boutique is 50 m² in size and let the Parisians meet the counting range with 400 credentials (for French) unusual-sounding names such as Laughing Buddha, Ancient Samurai, Sakura or Tao.

This year two boutiques, in the Paris Forum des Halles and the rue de Rivoli will come, possibly also one or more in the outskirts of Paris. Top Chief Executive Raymond Cloosterman, who founded Rituals in 2000, says: “there is a potential for 200 Rituals-boutiques in France within this and 10 years”, it sounds ambitious in the French newspaper Le Figaro.

The French openings are part of an ambitious expansion plan: after the first steps in the United States, Brazil, Switzerland and Norway last year, the Dutch cosmetics brand this year set his sights on Luxembourg (early February), the Middle East, Australia and France. All together the retailer wants to open 80 new boutiques, that brings the total to 420, and another 300 install sales corners in department stores (which is to bring the total to about 1,400).

Except their own boutiques wants Raymond Cloosterman, bring also the proven concept of the ‘Rituals shop-in-shop’ rolling out to the French (luxury) department stores and perfumeries, along the lines of what the group already does at ‘De Bijenkorf’ in Netherlands or at ‘Douglas’ in Germany.

So, you Rituals addicts, when you are on your trip to Paris, and you can’t sleep because you forgot your most favorite shower mouse,… don’t worry: take a run to Rue Vieille du Temple, and you are the happiest girl in town again!
