There are people whose presence transforms a room before they even speak. Not because they seek attention, but simply because they carry it. Verune is precisely that type of personality.
The host of The Mag, an influencer with refined taste and a distinctive visual identity, who moves between the worlds of media, fashion, and culture. Her energy is open, vibrant, and naturally confident. When she accepted our invitation to the Circle of Scent, it was clear that it would be a meeting where intuition would decide everything.
Circle of Scent is an intimate Oraculum format. A gathering around a table full of fragrances, where time slows down, and where perfume is chosen not by trend, but by inner consent. Each guest explores individual compositions until they find the one that resonates most precisely with them.
Verune usually reaches for juicier, darker scents. This time, however, she chose differently.
ARABESQUE. Musk, sandalwood, iris. A scent that feels clean, yet is not innocent. A calm composition with subtle tension that stays close to the skin and gradually reveals its structure. It is a perfume for a woman who doesn't need to be loud to be present.
“I’m a complete life freestyler.”
When we asked Verune to describe herself without roles and professional titles, the answer came immediately. "A complete life freestyler." It’s a definition that surprisingly accurately suits her. Her world is visual, fast, and intense, yet she appears calm, grounded, and natural. When asked when she feels most solid, she answers without hesitation:
"When I combine my beloved triangle: relationship – exercise – time with friends. When I have this in my life, I lack nothing." Perhaps this simple balance creates her energy. A mix of openness, healthy self-confidence, and a certain lightness with which she moves through the world.
Authenticity without noise
In an era where being "seen" is almost a discipline in itself, Verune appears surprisingly calm. "Maybe I don't even admit to myself that I'm seen," she says. "I try not to give it much weight and not to pretend to be someone else. I just think more about what I keep to myself and what I release into the world." The path to this naturalness, however, was not without transformation. One of the things she had to consciously unlearn was the fear of other people's opinions. "I stopped caring about what others would say about me. And I started doing what I truly enjoy."
Energy that enters the room
When we asked her what she would want people to feel from her even before she spoke, her answer was brief. "Healthy self-confidence." Not loud. Not demonstrative. Rather, a natural awareness of her own worth. Perhaps that's why her presence feels so effortless. And even though she is extroverted most of the time, silence also has its place in her life. "There are times when I voluntarily choose silence."
Scent as an attitude
When choosing a fragrance during the Circle of Scent, her body decided more than her head. "Probably my body," she says without hesitation. And just as naturally, she admits that she associates some perfumes in her mind with certain types of people. "I don't know if that's a good thing," she laughs. "But some scents I just connect with a specific energy." Perhaps that's the power of perfume, that it can carry more than just a mood. It can carry an attitude.
Courage doesn't have to be loud
When she looks back and thinks about the courage she would want to pass on to her younger self, her answer is surprising. "It doesn't always have to mean loud and grand actions." Sometimes courage is precisely about staying true to oneself. And allowing oneself to act in one's natural energy. "For me, the most genuine thing in womanhood is allowing myself to be in my pure feminine energy."
Sometimes the greatest strength lies in remaining exactly who you are.
