African Safari, Amazonian Discovery, Asian Journey and Mediterranean Escape are four new spa products and treatment lines in Germaine de Capuccini’s Sperience collection.

The lines feature techniques and ingredients inspired by holistic wellness rituals from different worldwide regions, as well as two other standout features.

Firstly, Germaine de Capuccini has collaborated with a company called Symrise to use its patented Actimood fragrance system to craft skincare with emotionally impactful aromas.

“A product’s scent can evoke memories, influence mood and even increase perceived effectiveness,” says global technical director Ana Gonzalvez. “It’s the first impression a product makes and often the one that persists in the consumer’s memory.”

Secondly, the therapies incorporate specifically-designed accessories – from a traditional rain stick mimicking the noises of a South American rainforest, to an African walnut shell shaker and headscarf to stretch the feet.
