O-KARI HAMMAM SPA EXCLUSIVELY FOR WOMEN

To bring the age-old traditions of the Hammam (steam room) to modern life, and to transmit the precious values of this practice to other women – these are the desires that motivated Karisma Lasfar to share her culture and its history. The opening of O'Kari Hammam-spa was the fulfilment of these long-cherished aspirations.

How much time do you have ? Karima wants to know if you have enough time to spare to receive the true Hammam experience. Two hours at least! And three would be much better! That's because the Hammam experience at O'Kari is the polar opposite of all those "express" beauty treatments offered elsewhere.

A sign of refinement and civilization in antiquity, the Hammam is an art of living, a rite dedicated to the harmony and the beauty of the body. This deserves all the time we can spare. At the heart of the hammam is a holistic treatment of the body. This treatment must follow a careful process, which if properly carried out, gives the most exceptional results: an overwhelming sensation of relaxation coupled with a healthy bodily fatigue. It is hard to imagine it until you try….

The purification and relaxation process begins with a session in the steamy atmosphere of the Hammam to eliminate toxins and relax muscles, and continues with a "savon noir" exfoliation. The pores are opened and the skin is ready for the exfoliation. This first step is followed by a long and gentle body scrub to remove dead layers of skin. Next comes the rich lathering from a natural soap made with the best olive oil varieties that Karima has brought herself from the north of Algeria. If you wish you can continue the experience with a pink, green, grey or white clay wrap (according to your skin type) and a hair mask.  Massage or modelling, the choice is yours: the essential oils come directly from the famous Mitidja distillery in Algiers, where such famous perfumers as Chanel, Dior and Guerlain acquire components for their fragrances.

MAITRE PARFUMEUR

Like an alchemist who seeks the formula to make gold, Nicolas de Barry is one of those master perfumers who lifted  perfume to a work of art. Located in his castle near Blois, he rethinks forgotten smells. Anxious to make perfume as it was in the eighteenth century, Nicolas de Barry travels the world in search of natural raw materials such as aloe wood, commonly called oud, rare and precious wood, blue lotus, the ylang or rose of Grasse. Thanks to him, the perfumery found acclaim and attracts enthusiasts eager to learn from the master.

Beyond pure creation, Nicolas de Barry is an institution that trains designers and they invent rare fragrances tailored for celebrities around the world, created lectures, master classes and positions itself as a major player in the creation of luxury perfume, inspired by history and its iconic characters

In its Marais salon, you will be greeted and guided by experts whose perfume culture captivate you. The rarest Paris perfume brands all come together at Maitre Parfumeur where you'll find your happiness between literature, prestigious cabinets, "eau de parfum" inherited from the mythical characters in the history of Europe: Madame de Pompadour, Sissi, Napoleon, Louis XV and many others ... An olfactory journey through time - unique in the world - awaits you.
