The fragrances of ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND – Natural Beauty. A sensuous promise. People respond to smells on a very subliminal level. Although we’re often not even consciously aware of them, they nonetheless evoke strong emotions. The feeling for whether something will be perceived to smell good or bad, is connected to experiences that are deeply rooted within us. Smells trigger memories, spark associations, and influence whether we dislike something or find it fantastic. We at ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND make great efforts to consciously shape the fragrances of our natural cosmetics – a very demanding task, because natural cosmetics ingredients have an inherent smell that interacts with the fragrances added. Creating products with these components is a challenge that we take up with all our innovational strength. The basic benefits of cosmetics are care and beauty. But we want to offer more. We want the benefits of our products to be experienced on an emotional plane – through their fragrances – as soon as they’re applied. The fragrances of ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND products are a promise. A promise that is fulfilled by the effects of the products.
