THE RITUAL OF SCENT — JAN KONINK

Discover the role Laundry Day plays in the daily life of graphic designer Jan Konink, who balances his time between photography, vintage lamp hunting, modeling, and sustainable initiatives for future-proofing homes.

Born and raised in The Hague, Jan shares his favourite new rooftop spot and why he chooses 100% natural fragrance.

“With the start of spring and longer sunlit days, this scent puts me in the mood for warm summer evenings ahead.”

"At the moment, it’s Laundry Day. With the start of spring and the longer hours of sunshine, this scent gets me in the mood for the warm summer evenings ahead."

"The mini (which is actually bigger than you’d think) is always by my side. I love to take it on the go. You never know how your day will unfold!"

"I love using the scent in the morning to set a fresh and uplifting tone for the day. Depending on my plans, I might reapply it later in the day for a little refresh. It brings energy that keeps me going. Laundry Day sets the tone for the day!"

"Right now, my favorite new spot in The Hague is restaurant/cinema, Flora. It’s located on the top floor of an old, iconic building with a panoramic view of the city. I could spend an entire day here—starting with a movie, followed by dinner or drinks with friends. There’s something special about watching the day turn into night from above."

"In the fast-changing world we live in, it’s essential for me to be conscious of my choices. Everything we do has an impact on our environment, and working in sustainability has made me even more aware of that.

Small changes, like Abel's new 100% degradable cap, show that sustainability is possible and can have a big impact without compromising the usability and experience of the products we use daily."
