Naomi Watts is more sensitive to smells | Entertainment

Naomi Watts stopped wearing perfume every day because she became “more sensitive to smells”.

The ‘The Watcher’ star – who became perimenopause at 36 – created her beauty brand Stripes to cater to menopausal women and one of her favorite body oil products because it can give her a “subtle” odor.

When asked about her favorite product from the collection, she told HarpersBazaar.com: “I really love The Full Monty, it’s our body oil. It leaves such a beautiful, velvety finish without being greasy and packed with antioxidants. And the smell is simply amazing.

“It’s interesting that you become more sensitive to smells in menopause, things you liked before, and suddenly you can’t stand it. So the smell is subtle, but it’s enough.

“I don’t generally wear perfume very often unless I’m out. I don’t want to wear it every day, like I do at different times of my life, so body oils give you that wonderful little scent.”

While the 54-year-old actress loves body oils, her “favorite” product from the collection is serum.

“I’m really in love with the serum,” she says. “It lives on its own; it doesn’t require a moisturizer on top. It’s got five different hyaluronic acid, mushroom extracts, and it’s really great to strengthen the skin barrier. , while creating deep hydration at the cellular level. This is my favorite number one.”

Naomi collaborated with Amyris on her new collection, and she quickly knew they were the right company to work with.

She said: “I knew I wanted to work with a partner because I still had my day job and I really enjoyed it. I had heard about Amyris from ONDA Beauty a few times in the beauty field and I knew I wanted to work with only Lab collaboration using cleaning ingredients.

“I knew they were creating formulas for other brands, but I didn’t know they were creating brands from scratch, so I basically did a cold touch.

“They are definitely a company that believes in clean and sustainable, and has the right alignment in every way, as well as a wealth of resources. I reached out to them at the beginning of the pandemic and discussed ideas, vision and branding with them purpose, they caught it right away.

“I would say it came quickly, but it’s also been stable for 18 months, almost two years, since that call.”
