Sophia Lucina-- Right off the bat, in three words, what does intimacy mean to you?
Yazmin Kazemi— Sensual, it’s letting the nature of your body take the lead. Vulnerable, either letting yourself or someone else into your sphere. Excitement, the tingling sensation your feel on the inside but also physically. Private, intimacy is mine.
Maria Barfod— Trust. Magic. Everything.
What, if anything, frustrates you about society’s view of intimacy?
YK— It’s frustrating that we as a society have evolved away from ourselves, that external values are applauded to such an extent that there is a tendency of loosing touch with our inner selves. Intimacy in my eyes is about being able to feel a need and expressing it, wether its to a partner or with yourself. As a psychotherapist I will tell my clients, that only you, yourself knows what intimacy means to you.
MB—That we should limit our self.
When do you feel most sexy? And/or confident?
YK— I feel most sexy, confident when I am happy on the inside. When I have taken accountability of my boundaries, wishes and my body. I feel sexy when I have accomplished something, and that can vary between a small every day task or a bigger dream. For me it’s living on the verge of “this is scary, but I am going to try and do it anyway.” I feel sexy when I have silenced my primal brain, that at times is on overload and listen to my body. Dancing is the fastest way to make me feel sexy.
MB— When I step out of the shower. Dry and moist.

How has Sitre played a role in your concept of intimacy?
YK— Sitre has opened up a platform of a word we all know, but do we really understand? Sitre has put intimacy and the interpretation of what it means on the agenda. It’s a platform where everyone is invited in, no matter the gender, sexual preferences, or age. For me it has played a role in removing the shame that has been plastered to intimacy.
MB— Dunno where to begin. I have never befor been a lube woman before I tried sitre. I always felt like it was not given g me anything extra. But a new world opened up to me with Sitre. Im an NOT kidding. I have event had sexual partners asking for which brand it was!
Which Sitre product is your favorite?
YK— I am a huge fan of the gel silicone, because of the silky sensation, it makes everything smooth.
MB— No doubt, the first edition lube. I've tried it all but nothing beats it. It is god sent.
Shot amidst the landscape of the Koko Volcano Crater by photographer Asato Iida, the visuals resonate with the boundless potential of the fragrance itself. Just as the desert holds an air of stillness amidst its vastness, Desert Runway embodies that same calm in the midst of life's chaos.
Desert Runway is now available at hawthorne.co, ESSX, and Nordstrom stores.

When speaking with Pink Essay's founder, David Eardley regarding the collab, he shared that the intention was to "create a candle that more than just smells nice, but with a specific purpose: to stimulate the mind and spark creativity through scent. Since Pink Essay is dedicated to the world of design, we wanted a tool that creatives could use to start their design process.” Eardley went on to share his admiration for friend and collaborator Asia Grant, the founder of Redoux.

With a base of White Tea, Mandarin and Sandalwood, middle notes of library accord, moss and green leaves, and top notes of ozone, jasmine and fig, MIND/BEAM is a three-layered journey that awakens your senses, transporting you to a creative ambiance whether that be a mossy forest or muggy library filled with the aroma of leather bound books. It makes getting into the zone easier and hopefully enough to inspire moments that Eardley refers to as "beautifully ritualistic."
