“Elevating the daily ritual of Well-Being”
心身ともに良い状態であるための日々のリチュアルの探求
Pearl+ is pleased to announce the launch of a line of new bar soap and incense made with utmost care to use natural ingredients whilst searching for ways to shape a ritual in daily life and bring "Well-Being" to mind and body.
Over the past few years, we have entered a new era where we have taken a deep look at our daily lives and reaffirmed the top priorities. The concept of "Well-Being" is more relevant than ever, and maintaining our mind and body in a “good state” is now considered essential.
Pearl+, founded in 2008 in Portland, Oregon, by Janet Jay, seeks to continue the ancient traditions of Eastern culture and beauty regimens while optimizing them for modern life. With the cross-cultural, genderless, and ageless fragrance and the iconic designs of black rope and black & white swirls on the bar, our product has been the favorite soap of ACE HOTEL for many years.
When ACE HOTEL KYOTO opened in 2020, Pearl+ moved its production base to Japan to provide amenity soaps to the hotel and bring "Well-Being" to the ever-changing world. The brand has continued to design and develop our products with a new team and partners across Japan and worldwide.
To embody the concept of the brand, which is to respect Eastern traditions and cultures that value harmony with nature, and to propose daily rituals for a “Well-being” of body and mind in this day and age, we developed a new essential oil with the long-established Kyoto-based Yamadamatsu Incense-wood Co., Ltd. To bring universal modernity to the traditional Japanese fragrance, the fragrance was directed by Soran Nomura, a bar and beverage consultant based in Tokyo who has trained in London.
The newly developed soaps are made by Botanical Factory in Kagoshima, Japan, which uses natural ingredients and is chemical-free. The incense is made by Kyoto-based Yamadamatsu Incense-wood Co., Ltd., which respects the traditional method of incense making while minimizing environmental impacts as much as possible.To celebrate the brand's relaunch, soap dishes and incense holders, developed with Keigo Kamide of Kutani Choemon in Ishikawa, will also be available in limited quantities.
