JAFRA has been spreading joy and beauty professionally since 1956, and their newest fragrance allows you to become an active participant in doing the same! Certain design features have been thoughtfully inspired by nature; and every note of this new fragrance has been delicately placed to compose a sweet symphony of feminine floral fragrance. Joyfulness and beauty are all around you; how can you indulge in self-care while bringing the bright blooms of spring into your home? Introducing
JAFRA You Bloom!
The Inspiration Behind the Bloom
JAFRA You Bloom is inspired by the journey of a flower from bud to full bloom and beyond! You Bloom’s connection to nature is expressed from “head to toe” starting with the cap’s earthy hue, warm natural-like texture, and artisanal design. The journey of the flower continues in the design of the bottle; a lovely botanical print is emblazoned around the bottle. The free-hand floral illustration draws you in to the story of You Bloom. The floral design is mirrored from the bottle on the exterior sleeve as well. In addition, the outer packaging sleeve is made from 95% recycled paper, with no cellophane used in the packaging.
The bottle concept for JAFRA You Bloom was selected from a glass design contest for university students in Mexico City. The contest encouraged innovation and creativity, while promoting professional development.
Grow Your Own Garden
Perhaps the best part of the packaging (
other than the amazing pen-and-ink style illustration on the front that makes me want to whip out my markers) are the instructions on how to use your hexagonal cartons to grow your own garden. This feature also makes JAFRA’s You Bloom an amazing multi-purpose gifting opportunity for many occasions.
When you open your You Bloom fragrance, set aside and save your paper cartons. You will need to purchase seeds of your choice and some potting soil.
- Fill the cartons with potting soil, leaving about half an inch at the top.
- Poke a hole in the center for your seed (pay attention to the seed packet you purchase as some seeds may need to be planted deeper or shallower), then cover seed and water.
- Be sure to give your seed water and sunlight according to their individual instructions.
- Once your seed has germinated and grown large enough, you can consider planting your carton inside another larger pot or in your garden outside.
- The carton is made from recycled paper and is biodegradable so it will break down over time.
Using these cartons to begin your seed’s life indoors is especially great for starting your garden in winter, or allowing your kids to learn about growing, too! Since the cartons are lightweight, they are easy for kids or grandparents to help with, making it a great family activity as well.
