Hotel beauty products we love: Hotel De Durgerdam x Zenology Camellia Sinensis
Here, at Barts Boekje Wellbeing, you discover hotels and hideaways with en casa products are really worth it, so you simply take that nothing-is-required-everything-is-allowed feeling home with you. Take: Hotel De Durgerdam in, you guessed it, Durgerdam, part of Amsterdam. Okay, we are (just) staying in Amsterdam, but it feels like you are miles away. Less than fifteen minutes from the center lies De Durgerdam, tucked away on the IJmeer amidst reeds, water, and a row of almost picturesque gabled houses.
De Durgerdam is small, with fourteen rooms, and precisely because of that, so good. Everything is just right: the use of color that blends seamlessly with the landscape, the soft fabrics, the hand-painted woodwork, and the subtle references to the region's past. Outside awaits the village, consisting of: one street, lots of water, lots of sky.
De Durgerdam has got it right. The looks – mouthwatering. The restaurant, De Mark – likewise. In short: you want it. And how do you take that "you want it" home with you? With the scent. And we just happen to know exactly that scent for you: the bath products in Camellia Sinensis from Zenology.
Fresh and soft, yet with character: bergamot, nutmeg, and a hint of pepper in the top, followed by black tea and sage, and a warm base of guaiac wood. A fragrance that both invigorates and soothes. You want that here. You want that at home.
Zenology, incidentally, originates from the hotel industry and was developed for luxury venues, where experience is just as important as comfort. The products are plant based, free from unnecessary additives and sustainable. Think: care that not only feels good, but also does good. And that is how you sneak a little bit of De Durgerdam home with you. Where to buy? Here!
