Plus, the perfume she calls a forever fragrance.
Adria Arjona exudes a quiet confidence.
2021 was no ones year, but all signs point to 2022 being the year of Adria.
I tend to like woody smells mixed with a floral, she says.
What are the best smells in the world to you?
I think coffee is one of my favorite smells.
Just waking up and having coffee… Its like, ugh, okay, Im going to be fine.
Another one of my favorites is orange blossom.
I think its so refreshing.
It reminds me of childhood.
How would you describe My Way Intense and how does it differ from the original My Way?
I think My Way Intense is like a layer of confidence.
It makes me feel like a woman.
Its quite sexy, and I find it to be a really sensual fragrance.
Its very feminine with a touch of that sandalwood, which sort of gives it a lift.
I think its very elegant.
The original My Way is very joyful and inviting an open fragrance.
It smells very clean and fresh and its definitely a forever fragrance.
Go to a different shop and have a conversation with that person.
Have a genuine connection, even if its behind a mask.
[I love] watching movies from different countries.
Try reading books from outside of your comfort zone.
Maybe instead of being on Instagram for 30 minutes, watch a documentary about Guatemala.
What are some of the biggest beauty lessons youve learned in your twenties?
I personally feel more confident that way than hiding behind a lot of makeup.
It just doesnt feel like myself.
I prefer having less.
If you feel beautiful that way, then amen to that.
You do look beautiful.
Sometimes, makeup is part of someones culture and identity.
Sometimes its non-existent and they feel perfectly fine without it.
I think we should stay away from judging or giving an opinion on it.
If they think its beautiful, then its beautiful.
You just have a different perspective.
Do you have any skincare products that you swear by while youre filming?
I drink insane amounts of water when I film because I see a big difference.
I always ice my face.
I also see a very big difference when Im icing my face its so simple.
If Im having a good day, its more light.
I usually do a double cleanse when I work because its just so much makeup.
Im really into Emma Hardies oil-based cleanser the Moringa cleanser and then I use theTatcha Rice Cleanser.
I love that one.
I think that works wonders, especially when traveling, when youre tired, and you need more moisture.
Ill probably use Crema Nera all fall and winter.
How do you like to ice your face?
I usually grab a big cube of ice and a cloth.
Then, Ill just put the ice all over my face.
Ive seen people do a bowl of ice and then just stick their face in it.
I like to go one ice cube at a time.
I feel like when I put the products on, they really sink into my skin better.
I like to put on products when my skin is not completely dry.
I dont completely dry my face or my body, for moisture.
Can you talk a little bit about what it was like to work on these projects?
I filmedMorbiusbefore lockdown, and that was an incredible experience.
I wish I could say more but I cant.
Im like, what can I say so that I wont get in trouble?
They have the wrong person.
Im so bad at keeping secrets.
I would get tested every day, and I would show up in masks and face shields.
I feel like when youre filming you create this tight family.
You spend so many hours together and so many days together.
Im like, Okay, okay, now I know what you look like.
The day will come when I can.
Father of the Bridewas probably one of the most fun movies Ive ever filmed.
We would have breakfast, lunch, and dinner together.
We were like, we filmed for 18 hours, how are we still together?
I love you all so much, but too much!
It was just a blast.
Gloria [Estefan] is my new idol.
Who are your other personal beauty icons?
I have so many.
I think Bianca Jagger is one.
Oh god, there are just so many.
There are so many….My mother.
She thinks everythings beautiful and gives it importance, but not too much importance.
She has always taught me that its from within.
I also think shes the most beautiful woman Ive ever seen.
Maybe Im looking at her with daughter’s eyes, but I think so.
Whats one thing that youre looking forward to?
Im excited to be in Paris.
Im excited to explore.
I will eat all the croissants in France.
Im excited to explore it.
