𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 Just this morning, a colleague of mine walked into my office and complimented on my perfume, and it got me thinking about fragrance and the workplace. While it's always nice to receive compliments, it’s a reminder of how powerful fragrances can be in shared spaces. We all want to express our unique personalities, but how do we strike the right balance between making an impression and not overwhelming others especially at the workplace? Body sprays, like Xavier Laurent Perfume Deodorants, are the perfect middle ground—subtle, professional, yet undeniably you. They offer a light, refreshing scent that enhances your presence without taking over the room. It’s about striking that balance between personal expression and respect for your environment. A well-chosen body spray or perfume can keep you feeling confident and fresh throughout the day while respecting the shared space of the office. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference in how you present yourself—without the overpowering effect of heavier perfumes. And if you do opt for a stronger fragrance, remember that just a few spritzes on your pulse points will do the trick. In today’s professional settings, it’s essential to stand out, but also to blend in just right. That’s where body sprays and subtle perfumes shine. What’s your go-to workplace fragrance? #JosienHoldingsLimited #XavierLaurent #PerfumeDeodorant #PersonalBranding #WorkplaceEtiquette

Let's face it – times are tough. The skyrocketing cost of living, rising petrol prices, and endless traffic can test even the calmest of minds. But I believe that calmness is the ultimate superpower to navigate these challenging times. Think about it: • Calmness clarifies thoughts, helping you make better financial decisions. • Calmness boosts resilience, keeping you motivated despite setbacks. • Calmness fosters empathy, strengthening relationships with loved ones. For me, tapping into this superpower begins with a mindful morning routine. It starts with warm hugs from my wife and children, followed by our morning prayers. After some quick exercises, I enjoy a refreshing shower, then spritz of my choice of perfumes for the day—because layering scents not only creates a unique aroma but also adds depth and dimension to it. I finish it off with soul-lifting music on my way to work. Not every time the news—most of it can be quite depressing! Then, I tackle the day with: • Prioritized tasks to maximize productivity • Realistic expectations to manage stress • Gratitude practices to shift focus You, too, can unlock calmness.

𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 For the past three amazing years that I've had the privilege of overseeing the Xavier Laurent perfume deodorant brands, Vanilla Essence without a doubt, has stood out as the undisputed favorite among our customers. It’s not just our fastest-selling variant—it’s the go-to choice for ladies who want to go about their day feeling fresh, confident, and ready to take on the world. What makes Vanilla Essence so popular? It's more than just a deodorant; it's a daily must-have that resonates with its users. Vanilla, with its sweet and aromatic essence, is one of the most cherished and widely used spices globally. It’s also no surprise it dominates the food and beverage industry, being a key ingredient in ice creams, yogurts, pastries and other flavored delights. Even with countless ice cream flavors available, vanilla remains the top choice. 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? The Totonac civilization of Mexico, that discovered Vanilla, considered it sacred - a gift from the gods. The Aztecs even used it to enhance their "Chocolatl," a powerful beverage made from cacao beans, that was consumed primarily by the nobility. Today, Vanilla isn’t just a favorite in desserts; it’s a cornerstone in perfumes too. Elevate your scent game and experience the magic of Vanilla Essence for yourself today. #JosienHoldingsLimited #XavierLaurent #VanillaEssence #PerfumeDeodorant #Perfume

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 - 𝟮 Please refer here for the 1st part of this post. https://lnkd.in/dZPmAiqT 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗼 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆 Body Spray is typically applied after showering and drying off. It is usually sprayed more liberally than perfume due to its lighter strength. However, it’s important not to overapply, as excessive use may lead to irritation. Body Spray is designed to create a pleasant scent rather than mask bad odors, so it’s ideal for freshening up after a shower. 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆 [𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝘆!] It's quite common to layer different yet complementary fragrances to create a unique scent. Since body sprays are less potent than perfumes, they’re an excellent way to add a touch of extra fragrance without being overpowering. Begin by applying the spray to your upper body (neck, chest, armpits, arms) and pulse points (wrists, neck, and behind the ears). Hold the can at least 6 inches away from your skin to avoid any irritation from the pressurized liquid. Press the nozzle and spray for a few seconds. Reapply as needed—typically in the morning after a shower, after exercise, or even after a midday shower. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆 When selecting a body spray, it's important to choose a scent that matches your personal preference. Just like perfumes, body sprays come in various fragrances—some are fruity and sweet, while others are musky. You’ll also find that some scents are mild, while others are more intense. Experience the scents you like and make your choice! Don’t hesitate to try a few different ones to find the perfect match for you. (Check out my past posts about the different XL brands). 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗧𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 Just like with perfumes, scents tend to last longer on well-hydrated skin (I mentioned in a previous post as well). Applying a moisturizing body lotion before using your body spray can help extend the fragrance's longevity. Now you know all there is to know about Body Spray, which of the Xavier Laurent Perfumed Deodorant brands would you go for? #JosienHoldingsLimited #XavierLaurent #PerfumeDeodorant #FragranceTips #Perfume

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 Body spray is a perfume product, it is just another way to deliver a fragrance elsewhere on the body besides the armpits. Body sprays are lighter in strength than perfume. Usually, they’re made with higher levels of alcohol and water, and a lower level of fragrance oil—typically 3 to 5 percent, versus the 10 to 20 percent of a parfum or 5 to 15 percent of a toilette (expect a separate post on fragrance strengths). It can be made with essential oils or synthetic compounds. Body Spray containers use pressure to create a fine mist, allowing for easy and even application all over the body, unlike perfumes or colognes that deliver a more concentrated spray. Some body sprays also have a light moisturizer in them so they will moisturize the skin. If you are interested in this, you should look for a body spray that is oil based. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗗𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆? Body spray serves several purposes, making it a popular personal care product: 1. Fragrance: Body sprays help you smell fresh and pleasant throughout the day, offering a lighter alternative to traditional perfumes. 2. Confidence Boost: A good scent can boost your confidence and make you feel more put-together, especially in social or professional settings. 3. Sweat and Odor Control: While not all body sprays are antiperspirants, they contain ingredients that help mask or reduce body odor, keeping one feeling fresher. 4. Convenience: Body sprays are easy to apply and portable, making them ideal for quick touch-ups on the go. Which is why we have all the Xavier Laurent brands in 75ml bottles, pop one into your bag and you are good to go! 5. Layering: They can be used to layer with other scents, such as perfumes or lotions, to create a unique fragrance profile. Watch out for the continuation in my next post but until then, don't settle for just any fragrance—choose one of the Xavier Laurent brands to enhance your personal style and keep you feeling great all day long. #JosienHoldingsLimited #XavierLaurent #PerfumeDeodorant #FragranceTips #Perfume

𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗢𝗱𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗕𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 We’ve all had those moments when someone walks past, and we catch a whiff of well "marinated” body odor. Or imagine running into a friend or acquaintance and you excitedly lean in for a hug when suddenly, something catches your nose and the vibe changes. The thing is body odor isn't just a personal issue; it can have a profound impact on relationships professional and otherwise. It's uncomfortable, not just for you but potentially for the persons around you as well. Let’s talk about first impressions. We make judgments about people within seconds of meeting them, and everything from a firm handshake to a smile and yes, even how someone smells contribute to that initial assessment. While body odor might seem like a minor detail, it can be a deal-breaker, especially in client-facing roles. First impressions are everything, and scent plays a significant role alongside that confident smile and firm handshake. But let’s flip the script for a moment. Body odor can be an embarrassing topic and handling it with empathy is important. Discussing hygiene doesn’t have to be awkward—sometimes people aren’t even aware they have a problem. So, how do we approach it? With subtlety, of course! A bit of humor, kindness, and a reminder that smelling good is part of our overall 'packaging'—whether in the office, at an 'owambe,' or anywhere else. Ultimately, body odor isn’t just about hygiene; it’s about respect for yourself and those around you. In life, every detail matters, and even the smallest things can impact how we engage with others. Sometimes it’s the unsaid things that make the loudest statement. So, spray on some Xavier Laurent deodorant, flash that confident smile, and step forward knowing you’ll be remembered for all the right reasons. With just one spritz, you’re always ready to leave a lasting, pleasant impression. #SmellGoodFeelGood #XavierLaurent #FirstImpressionsMatter #Perfume #PerfumeDeodorant

As the world celebrates 𝗠𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 let's remember that true strength isn't just about muscles. It's also about having the courage to speak up and seek help when needed. As fathers, husbands, and breadwinners, the pressure is real. Let’s not forget the responsibilities that weigh on our shoulders, especially in the face of the current harsh economy, mixed with frustration, despair, and confusion. As a Nigerian man, I've heard it all from, "Na man you be!", "Why you de do like woman?", "Ol’ boy man up abeg!", "Man no de cry!", to "Chest am like man!" But I've come to realize that being a man also means taking care of your mind as much as your body. We need to break the stigma and start the conversation, even if it’s over a bottle of some favorite beverage and some nkwobi, isi ewu, asun, or grilled fish 😉. Let's check in on our brothers, uncles, fathers, friends and even colleagues. Encourage them to talk about their feelings, stress, and mental health. Dear men, remember, 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. It's time we redefine what it means to be a man in today's world. As with the whole world, God has got us all in his hands. #mensmentalhealthmonth #mentalhealthmatters #breakthestigma #mentalhealthawareness
