Hanakasumi means: “flower mist” and it recalls the elegance of the Sothys protocols, in this exclusive sensorial experience.
Hanakasumi is a body ritual by Sothys Paris with a delicate powdery perfume of lotus and cherry blossoms.
Spring in Japan coincides with the blossoming of the cherry trees, when the branches are covered with beautiful pink flowers that emanate an unmistakable fragrance.
Unfortunately, these flowers have a short life but, when they fall, they create an extraordinary natural spectacle: the flowers slowly and elegantly draw a delicate fragrant pink mist in the air, a silent profile of an almost enchanted atmosphere.
The literal translation of the word Hanakasumi means precisely “flower mist” and that is where the extreme refinement of Sothys protocols and their exclusive sensory experience lead us.
The fragrances of the cherry blossoms are combined with Digi–Esthétique®, a one-of-a kind massage technique.
This fresh, fragrant and “spring” treatment involves 5 moments.
Awakening
The first moment is dedicated to the awakening of the body and the sensations on the skin. The guest is covered with a blanket and contact is made with some maneuvers with the towel.
Cherry Blossom Application – Rice powder for a delicate scrub
This particular product, both delicate and effective, renews and purifies the skin naturally. Manual “scrubbing” movements gently eliminate the dead cells from the skin.
After this exfoliating phase, deeper massaging is carried out.
Foot modeling inspired by reflexology
The goal is to revive the flows of vital energy. To revitalize the whole organismus, it is not enough to eliminate the skin’s dead cells.
It is necessary to restore the balance between the body and mind as well as the vital energies that support us.
Cleaning with soft towels
This is a moment of true pampering. The operator, using special sponges and hot knobs, continues to treat the body in order to eliminate dead cells and give a general sense of pleasure.
Application of shea butter.
The final phase uses Asian perfumes and a massage of about 20 minutes with shea butter dissolved in brûle parfum.
Finally, the ritual is completed, even though you will wish it would never end.
You will leave your treatment cabin fully regenerated and your senses will be stimulated by the delicate powdery and floral fragrance.
