In 1978 RON ROBINSON lifestyle stores were created  with a curatorial approach to product in many categories, celebrating fine design, quality and innovation. The stores were often recognized as an incubator for creative people with cool product ideas. Those developers and products, paired with my desire to search for and offer new products in a wonderful space and  provide first class service to our customers, earned us a world renown reputation as the place to go. 
 

25 years ago, I began a fine fragrance line, named APOTHIA for our stores. Apothia grew and won several awards, including Interior Scent of the Year for 8 of our scents from the Fragrance Foundation, US.
Additionally, APOTHIA was nominated for two scents in the UK Fragrance Foundation. Design awards for our packaging followed as did awards for our brand in the hospitality industry. APOTHIA now distributes in the US and Japan, to many first class retailers as well as online direct to consumers at apothia.com.

Today APOTHIA is my craft and love. Our son, Max, after learning the business from the bottom up for the last 10 years, has earned the role of Director of the APOTHIA brand. He has his own vision and goals for the future. My dear partner, spouse and friend for 35 years, Stacy, is still involved as well. Yes it's a family affair.
Our wonderful talented team, several who have been with us for many years, and those who have joined recently, are all considered, in my eyes, our extended family. They are involved to help nurture, maintain and build Apothia based on our shared ethos and values, and to provide exceptional premium product and service for our valued community. 
Much love -
