When you stroll through Zurich's Niederdorf district, you'll find yourself in a neighbourhood full of charm and history. Nestled between narrow streets, cosy cafés and unique boutiques is a place that feels like a secret: Süskind. Mayumi's perfumery isn't a shop in the traditional sense, but rather a fragrance library, a refuge for curious people who want to travel with their noses.
Mayumi, founder of Süskind, curates fragrances from all over the world – always with a special focus on quality, craftsmanship and emotion. ‘For me, every fragrance is a story waiting to be discovered,’ she says. That's exactly why she decided to include the CERVO fragrance Beyond Exploring No. 6 in her range.
From Zermatt to Zurich – how it all began
Mayumi first encountered the CERVO fragrance on site at the CERVO Mountain Resort in Zermatt. ‘I was immediately impressed by how it captures the special atmosphere of the hotel – this blend of alpine authenticity and modern luxury. It's rare for a hotel to develop its own fragrance world so consistently.’
It wasn't just the first impression that counted, but also the depth and balance of the fragrance: adventurous and free like a walk through the forest, yet grounded at the same time, with spicy, woody and warm balsamic notes. Just right for Mayumi: a fragrance that evokes emotions and tells stories – just as she loves at Süskind.
Authenticity instead of trends
Süskind is known for a selection that is not guided by the fast pace of trends. Instead, Mayumi is interested in finding fragrances that have a clear identity. ‘For me, a fragrance must be authentic and wearable at the same time. It should give people something real, not just a fleeting impression.’
This is something she also associates with CERVO: both worlds value quality, authenticity and experiences that leave a lasting impression.
Fragrances as an invisible language
During the conversation, it becomes clear that fragrances are more than just an accessory for Mayumi. She describes them as something intimate, almost like a secret language that each of us carries. ‘Fragrances reveal so much about us without us having to say a word. And at the same time, they can also make a statement – it depends on how you use them.’
Beyond Exploring No. 6 immediately reminds her of her memories of Zermatt: the clear mountain air, the special atmosphere and the stylish, warm ambience at CERVO.
A piece of CERVO in Zurich
The fact that this fragrance has now found its way to Zurich feels almost like a small bridge between the mountains and the city. Anyone who stops by Süskind in Niederdorf can be transported straight back to Zermatt with a spritz – or be inspired to take the trip there themselves.
Because whether in the mountains or in the city, fragrances have the power to remind us of places and moods that we never want to forget.
Curious? Then discover Beyond Exploring No. 6 at Süskind in Zurich or directly at the CERVO Mountain Resort in Zermatt – and let this special fragrance transport you to a world of adventure, tranquillity and authenticity.
