From summer wardrobes to healthier living, everything we are loving this week is a mood booster.
This includes ways to tantalise your olfactory receptors for a more balanced you and the best watch on Netflix this week. Plus, Europe’s first museum opens celebrating female artists. This is one to visit. Enjoy this week’s Citizen Femme hotlist.
FAMM (Female Artists of the Mougins Museum/ Femmes Artistes du Musée de Mougins) has unveiled over a hundred works created by more than 80 female artists from around the world in what is the first private museum in Europe dedicated to female artists, launched by Simon de Pury and MTArt Agency. Situated in Mougins, near Cannes, the four floors of the former MACM (Mougins Museum of Classic Art), now houses a breathtaking array of incredible artworks, including paintings, sculptures, and photographs, by top women artists who have marked the major artistic movements from Impressionism to the present day. Christian Levett, an art collector for nearly thirty years and recognised for his philanthropic commitments in the arts and other causes, is the originator of this ambitious project. Among the great names in art history, FAMM exhibits works by Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès, Barbara Hepworth, Frida Kahlo, Joan Mitchell, Marina Abramović, Tracey Emin, as well as numerous works by top emerging female artists including French-senegalese Delphine Diallo and Colombian artist Stefania Tejada. FAMM will prove to be the ultimate voyage in artistic discovery for the visitor.
Ever thought of fragrance as a conduit to wellbeing? Science has often revealed the profound impact of scent on our brains, the way scent molecules bind to olfactory receptors, igniting signals to our emotional self. We know the feeling of a fragrance stirring a memory, but it can play a central part in grounding our moods when formulated for wellbeing. anatomē has created a collection of parfums, sourcing natural botanical essences, rich in the terpenes to support wellbeing. The collection has focused on blending natural oils based on their benefits to help us perform, find focus or be still, supporting us throughout the day. The first 4 in the collection feature Expression, Energy, Balance and Focus, followed by Order and Support in July. Find a more balanced you, throughout the day, whatever life throws at you.

The quest to live to 100 may not be what we’re longing for. But is there some elixir or lifestyle that we can adapt in urban environments for healthier living? CF’s Beauty Editor explores this in more detail later this week. But before you delve into this piece, catch Dan Buettner, the National Geographic fellow who has spent decades researching and popularising the concept of Blue Zones, navigate how we can change the physical and social environments that cause shorter lives in this excellent 4-part documentary. Buettner’s spotlighted zones are Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; Nicoya, Costa Rica, and Loma Linda, California, concluding that long life is more about environment than behaviour. As we zone in on wellness this month and no doubt a summer of indulgence, its certainly a worthy watch to note how to live happily, well, and long.
