VALJUES

The Cologne-based manufacturer produces perfumes with over 25% fragrance oil, which not only emphasize personality but also make special moments unforgettable. The collection is now being supplemented by the new fragrance 4 | FOUR.


Your company is based in Cologne. How would you describe the city in three words?

Heidi: historic, warm, home


Do you have any insider tips?

Heidi: What we understand as "perfume" today was revolutionized here in Cologne. You should definitely check it out, for example in the Farina House!

Jenni: As the sunniest city in Germany, Cologne is perfect for sitting outside in cafés at
and enjoying a good aperitif.

What special moment would you like to bottle?

Heidi: The sense of smell really does capture emotions better than any other sense. But I wish you could also capture sounds, colors, visual impressions or conversations with new people in unfamiliar places in a bottle. Translating such things into fragrances is exactly what we create with every creation.


Do you enjoy traveling to unknown places, or do you enjoy the relaxation in the repetition of a destination?

Heidi: Both! New destinations often inspire even more, and familiar places provide more relaxation.

Jenni: I want to discover new places and beauty trends this year - I love trying the coolest spas and it products in new cities.


What destinations are on your bucket list?

Jenni: We've both been talking about South Korea and Japan a lot recently - both countries are definitely at the top of our bucket list.


What's a must when traveling?

Jenni: I always have 9 | NINE in my handbag! I never leave the house without it, and I also have to have a 50 ml bottle with me when I travel!

Heidi: Of course, we never go on vacation without SPF! I also love to take a new fragrance with me on vacation and to connect the memories of those days with that fragrance forever.

Your personal beauty hack?

Jenni: I often use my vacation in the sun to take a break from make-up: Just a fragrance and good skincare - and off to the beach!

Heidi: On the train or plane, definitely moisturize your skin well - inside and out. Traveling, especially with air conditioning, can otherwise dry you out really quickly.


What music puts you in the vacation mood?

Jenni: Anything by Harry Styles plays up and down for me - perfect for a good vacation mood.

Heidi: I've had SZA on repeat for months - whether I'm in the office or out and about!


Your desert island product?

Heidi: A perfume and the Kindle! Jenni and I love reading!

Jenni: True! With good perfume and new fantasy books, we'd be set for a very long time.
