Flying Fearless

She is sweet and sexy and maybe you wouldn´t instantly be aware of her super powers. But this girl really rocks! Marie Le Febvre is going after her dreams – and she shows no signs of hesitation or fear. She is one of the 70 persons in the world, who is qualified to be a parfumeur and belongs to the group of „Fine Fragrancy“: Parfumeurs, who only create perfums.

Two years ago Marie decided to move from Paris to Berlin with her husband and little son. Here she fulfilled her dream of opening her  own perfume laboratory and launched the fragrance brand “Urban Scents”.

Marie

 

As you can see in her Urban Scents logo, Maries hobby is flying an aeroplane (!) and her attitude towards life is characterized by curiosity and being positive. When she found out about her family´s history – her grandparents helped american soldiers in World War II – she decided to write a book about it. Risking and resistance is a true and inspiring story and very worthwhile to read, as it invites all of us to explore our past and connect with it.

Maries journey into her family’s past influences also her current work as she sources ingredients that help provide income for people impacted by economic and political unrest. She’s developing a fragrance named “Utopia,” a scent that blends materials from around the world, including elements from countries at odds with one another. This fragrance is her personal expression of peace.

And this family of Marie has a lot more going on: her husband Alexander Urban is a lover of art and exhibits in his gallery Cavuspace. Just recently he realized a new amazing project:  the opening of the Habibi Interiors. An amazing space in the middle of Berlin where you can find the most delicate mosaic tiles from marocco – and enjoy the spa area to relax or rent out for a private event.

You´ll find Habibi Interiors in the Eisenacherstr. 58, Berlin Schöneberg. Right next to it is the „Urban Scents“ shop of Marie and the Cavuspace gallery of Alexander Urban.

Hey gorgeous!

I hope this finds you well!

I often walk through town and just love to watch how other people dress – especially elder ones! And I find amazing inspiration in it when they style  themselves in a unique or unusual personal way.

This is really a fun game to play!

I often take those women as a rolemodel and start thinking of how I will dress like and wrap myself up in maybe 20 or 30 years!

It´s like looking into a future mirror!

Would I wear a quirky dress like e.g. that 80 year old woman? Would I go for white hair or dye it purple? Will I still dare to wear a neoncoloured dress?  And will still I run around in golden shoes ?

Will figure still matter?

To share some inspiration I would love to introduce to you the stimulating blog by Ari Seth Cohen.

Ari Seth Cohen

It´s called Advanced Style . Ari lives in New York and this is his mission:

I roam the streets of New York looking for the most stylish and creative older folks. Respect your elders and let these ladies and gents teach you a thing or two about living life to the fullest. Advanced Style offers proof from the wise and silver-haired set that personal style advances with age.

Ari Seth Cohen has also done an awesome documentary about some of those wonderful women and you can find easily on you tube a trailer, which is worthwhile seeing!

What will your style be like in the future – will you still consider what other people might think of you?

I can tell you that much – you won´t bother anymore after seeing this documentary ;)

Have fun!

xoxo
