What's in a name

Although we intend to only review products on our main sister site latestinbeauty.com, that doesn't stop us from relaying fun and interesting stories about some of our favourite brands yet. We love REN Skincare, it's philosophy, its ambiance and its products. A while ago they introduced a fragrance line called Rosa Maya with a lovely floral yet sophisticated scent, which quickly established itself as a popular member of our perfume shelf. Then all of a sudden it went quiet, until it reappeared recently as if had never been away. So as we were chatting to one of our 'sources' about REN, the conversation quickly turned to the lovely perfume and we were asked whether we knew where the name came from. Not then, but now we do: One owner has a daughter called Rosa, the other's daughter is called Maya. Ahhh!
