Fountain Cleaning Routine at CARON

Hello everybody,

last week I was Invited to CARON at Plaza Indonesia for a fountain cleaning routine. It is an event that they have periodically but this time they invited some medias and me to witness the beautiful process.

When I entered the store which looks like a Parisian lounge, completed with chandelier, marbles decor and luxurious layout, I immediately noticed the amazing scents. It's like very delicate, strong, floral, aromatic and everything in between. For me, this is my dream place, like I just granted a wish and enter a perfumer world.

CARON was established in 1904 in Paris by Ernest Daltroff. In 1930's one of the finest powder in the world CARON's powder, is made. In South East Asia, this is the only CARON shop you'll find.

Their most coveted collections for ladies are My Ylang, Nocturnes, and my favorite, Fleur De Rocaille. In men's department, Pour Un Homme, Yuzu, and Yatagan.

Their perfumes are unlike the scents we usually find in the market, the ones where trends and contemporary play part, these are the timeless and what I can surely called as, a true fragrances from Paris.

Beside the perfume and the loose powder, CARON also owns the most delicate powder puff in the world, made of genuine soft goose down, so delicate and it is by far the most wonderful puff I ever tried. So fluffy and beautiful at the same time.

I named them the cotton candy puff, oh wait, even cotton candy feels harsh compared to this.

Soon after that, the routine starts.

The fountains are made for perfumes, this is the art of perfumery, a legendary tradition that are well kept. The fragrance is dispensed from a little bronze tap into the bottles, so when you purchase one at CARON, you'll be able to see the process and at the same time, dwell in the amazing scents before it closes.

The team carefully dismantle the fountain, brushes the container to remove the debris and last, use alcohol to 'sterilize' the glass.

Everything was so precise and like watching an art being preserved.

CARON Indonesia also features some the porcelain, hand made and manufactured in limited quality.

-*-


The number one customers are ladies for sure, but the collection for men also available at the store. Some of the fragrances also known as unisex.

-*-



Most of their collection are Eau De Parfum, but you could also find cologne and perfume. Floral such as rose are loved and available here in many of their collection and in extract as well. The ultra soft loose powder also scented with Bulgarian Rose.

Thank you so much for having me CARON Indonesia, and really hope to see you soon.
