Clarins is issuing a third fragrance/therapeutic eau de toilette called L'Eau Ensoleillante (Sunshine Fragrance). The eau includes essences of Sicilian mandarin, grapefruit, ylang, Tonka bean, and patchouli. It comes after L'Eau Dynamisante (a long-time favorite of mine) and L'Eau Ressourçante. Griffonia seeds are said to contain a precursor of serotonine and help regulate nervous tensions. Watermelon provides a tonic effect. Extracts of mimosa, linden, and chamomilla are soothing and hydrating.

It will be available from March 2007 for 41 Euros for a 100 ml flacon.

  1. Dear Marie-Helene,
    As I am a sales representative - and visit regularly visit psychiatric clinics.. mental health , mood etc is always on my mind.
    I love the idea that Clarins has made yet another fragrance with aronatherapy in mind .
    To think that serotonin - a neurotransmitter essential for "normal mood " as opposed to dysthymia (low grade depression) etc. is welcome and refreshing .
    BTW, I too loved Eau Dynamisante - I am curious about the Griffonia seeds .. I will check this out . After all what is fragrance but a form of aromatherapy --

  2. Dear Madelyn,

    How interesting that as a sales representatives you visit psychiatric units -- what is the connection?

    Yes, fragrances can have a powerful effect on our moods, even when not aromatherapeuthic per se.

  3. Sounds nice! I like citrus scent for their aromatherapeutic effect.

    Griffonia seeds are said to contain a precursor of serotonine and help regulate nervous tensions.
    Even if it is a serotonine precursor, I highly doubt it can up the serotonine production used only as fragrance ingredient.
    Another silly marketing ploy?
    What`s next, Eau de L-Dopa? Dopaminergic fragrance?
