“ To care & consider is about the relationship between each other and being a sustainable company. ”
Jeroen Oude Sogtoen studied fashion design at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute.
He worked for 10 years as a fashion designer and changed focus from fashion to interior design, and created alongside field specialists the concept for a boutique hotel in Amsterdam. Whilst creating an amenity line for this boutique hotel, in 2004 he started his brand ZENOLOGY.
“In my career, I have been fortunate enough to travel the globe and experience luxury travel first-hand. What struck my attention was the lack of qualitatively caring yet sustainable beauty products in hotels. So, I decided to create ZENOLOGY. A lifestyle brand, developing products on the edge of sustainable and nourishing technologies, whilst delivering a zen experience through the power of scent. All the while adhering to one guiding principle: to care & consider. To me, this goes beyond delivering the highest quality product. At ZENOLOGY, to care & consider is as much about the relationship with each one of our clients as it is about continuing to push the envelope on being a sustainable company, striving to be as green as possible.
Every day, thousands of people use our products in hotels worldwide. It fills me with pride to see how ZENOLOGY’s values of quality and sustainability are increasingly shared globally. It is my passion as founder of ZENOLOGY to give you the opportunity to bring hotel luxury home, through our exquisite ambiance fragrances and nourishing beauty products.”
