Huages, Hôtel de Crillon & the Soft Power of High-Frequency Wellness

*HUAGES X HÔTEL CRILLON
There are certain experiences that feel less like an event and more like a recalibration. A slow, quiet return to something elemental, sound, water, stillness, breath.
This spring, Huages, the Paris-based CBD wellness brand known for its gentle precision and sensory philosophy, deepens its presence in the city with a new monthly ritual: a crystal bowl sound bath at the Hôtel de Crillon’s luminous Sense Spa.
Held poolside at dawn, these gatherings offer more than a moment of relaxation. They invite a shift in rhythm — a softening of the body's internal architecture, a quiet attunement to the present.
Whether you're a Parisian weaving stillness into the week, or a traveler seeking a more intimate entry point into the city’s evolving wellness culture, Huages’ sound bath promises something rare: a space to land, to listen, and to begin again.
Some brands create products. Others create states of being.
Huages belongs to the latter.
Born during a moment of global pause in 2020, Huages was imagined by Hélène Aubier as a new kind of wellness proposition, one grounded not in noise, but in nuance. With a background shaped by years at Estée Lauder, Sézane, and Rouje, Hélène Aubier understood something essential: true connection isn’t built by broadcasting louder, but by cultivating presence.
Today, Huages stands quietly but unmistakably at the forefront of France’s premium CBD space. Its positioning is deliberately subtle: oils cold-pressed in Provence, drink blends ( Matcha tea, Raw Cacao, and Golden Latte), and a sensory world where texture, fragrance, and function are woven into everyday ritual.
Even the name, an invented word echoing nuage, cloud, offers a hint at the brand’s philosophy. Huages doesn’t promise escape. It suggests a soft landing, a return to self, a daily architecture of care. In a culture that often frames wellness as achievement, Huages invites something gentler: integration.
Now, this sensibility is extending beyond products, into experience.
A New Kind of Morning at the Crillon
Once a month, just before the city fully stirs awake, Huages hosts an intimate sound bath at the Sense Spa pool inside the Hôtel de Crillon.
Held beside the water’s luminous surface, under soaring ceilings, the experience is more than a meditation; it’s an act of attunement.
Crystal bowls resonate across the pool and through the body, creating a field of vibration that invites the nervous system to soften without effort. It’s a reminder that the most profound forms of restoration often come not through doing, but through allowing.
This elemental approach, water, sound, air, feels particularly resonant right now. Across the broader landscape of wellness, there’s a discernible return to practices that work not by stimulating the body, but by recalibrating its natural rhythms. Sound baths, hydrotherapy, breathwork…
Experiences like these don’t just feel good in the moment; they ripple through the body’s internal systems. When the nervous system enters true parasympathetic rest, circulation improves, inflammation eases, cortisol drops. Even the skin reflects these internal shifts, regaining luminosity, suppleness, a quieter glow.
Following the meditation, guests are offered a Huages drink, and a bottle of CBD oil to continue the ritual in their own time. Every detail is designed to support a feeling of resonance, not interruption.
For Parisians and Wellness Travelers Alike
For Parisians, the Huages x Crillon sound bath offers something rare: a restoration practice that feels deeply rooted in the city itself, not imported from elsewhere. It’s a way to step back into rhythm without stepping out of daily life.
For travelers, it’s an invitation into a more intimate, sensory experience of Paris toward something inward, elemental.
Each monthly gathering offers a moment to move differently through the city: slower, softer, more attuned. It’s a subtle but significant reminder that wellness doesn’t have to be performative to be profound.
