founder’s notes

“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.

Every day, thousands of people use our products at home and in hotels worldwide. it fills me with pride to see how our values of quality and sustainability are increasingly shared globally.”

Jeroen Oude Sogtoen, b 1967 The Netherlands

fragrance driven

As founder of ZENOLOGY, Jeroen Oude Sogtoen wanted to ensure all of ZENOLOGY’s products were composed from the very best materials, which led him to Accords et Parfums in Cabris, France. This is where Jeroen met Fredrik Dalman, ZENOLOGY’s current in-house perfumer. Together they create each fragrance uniquely for ZENOLOGY.

Fredrik Dalman: “What inspires me when I’m working on a new fragrance is the idea of travel. A well-constructed fragrance can take you to beautiful places or memories that you love. I want to capture that and translate it to an olfactory experience. I believe a fragrance has that power.

What makes ZENOLOGY such a unique and creatively inspiring environment for me to work at, is the fact that it is built on the craftmanship and rich heritage of Accords et Parfums.

ZENOLOGY’s ambiance fragrances are carefully crafted to form a symbiosis between people and their environment. They are the sensorial structure of any space and allow you to instantly enhance its feeling.

A fragrance can relax, it can invigorate, or it can give us warmth and comfort. But it’s true power is that it allows us to fully embrace the moment. Awakening a recollection of knowledge and becoming a memory of its own.
