From the founders

The genesis of
EDONÉ by ED.

Why Vlorë

In Vlorë, we love the sea, the light, the landscape and the pleasure of being beside the water. We wanted to offer that same pleasure in the way we look after people. EDONÉ is our expression of luxury shaped by this city—bringing its warmth and character into skincare, rituals and hospitality. Our ambition is to make the experience of being here as rich as the setting itself, with something distinctive to offer in every season.

Built from our experience

Between us, we have lived in ten cities, from U.S. to Australia, from European metropolises to small college towns and Mediterranean cities. We travel frequently for work and have tried treatments in many different places. Over time, we have become more particular about the skincare, hospitality and experiences we enjoy.

When we created EDONÉ, we drew on those experiences. We kept what we loved, questioned what had disappointed us and developed our own approach to skincare and hospitality.

Why we named it EDONÉ

EDONÉ comes from hedonism: the pursuit of pleasure. A facial should feel indulgent, without resembling a doctor’s appointment or becoming a sales pitch built around your insecurities. We wanted excellent treatments to be something you look forward to, with no pressure to leave with another bag of products.

Our definition ofLuxury

We built EDONÉ around a more generous idea of luxury: the freedom to expect more from the same experience. Effective skincare, indulgence and the pleasure of feeling at ease belong together. Our ambition is to make that combination part of how you live, with the expertise and hospitality to sustain it.

The freedom to have it all

A treatment should deliver on its purpose and be a pleasure to receive. We bring scientifically developed skincare, nature-derived ingredients and sensory design together so you can expect both. Neither the seriousness of the science nor the richness of the experience should require sacrificing the other.

Expertise without the burden

Access to exceptional skincare should not require becoming an expert in it. We do the work of comparing products, assessing the evidence and composing the treatments, then adapt a concise collection of rituals to you. You can understand every choice without having to make every decision.

Pleasure as a way of living

We want indulgence to belong in ordinary life: a facial you anticipate, a familiar place to retreat to, the pleasure of being known. EDONÉ is intimate because we want that relationship to develop. Its value comes from the richness of the experience, never from creating artificial scarcity or another standard you must live up to.

The choices behind EDONÉ

How we select
our skincare.

Why Dr. Spiller

Dr. Spiller builds its philosophy around supporting the skin’s natural functions. Its biomimetic approach brings together ingredients drawn from nature and formulations developed in its own laboratories, taking the skin’s protective film as a model.

We chose Dr. Spiller as our house partner because we value its approach to hydration and barrier support, and enjoy using its products ourselves. We love the textures and how they feel during a treatment as much as the thinking behind the formulas.

We use these brands ourselves. For EDONÉ, we select individual products for what they do, how they feel and how well they work within a treatment. A well-known name or fashionable ingredient is never enough on its own.

Supporting the skin barrier

The skin’s outer barrier helps retain moisture and protect against external irritants. That is why hydration and barrier support underpin our selection: ingredients that attract water, emollients that soften, and formulas that help limit moisture loss. We choose their balance for the skin in front of us.

Evidence for the intended result

We examine what the research measures, whether it concerns the ingredient or the product, and how closely it matches the benefit being promised. Evidence for hydration cannot establish every anti-ageing claim. We use those findings to select products and explain what to expect from them.

Treatment matched to skin

Skin type is a starting point, not a complete prescription. We consider current dryness, sensitivity, sun exposure and the products used at home. We adapt exfoliation and active ingredients accordingly, paying particular attention to tolerance when the skin is already exposed to retinoids or other exfoliants.

Compatibility across the ritual

A longer list of active ingredients does not automatically make a better treatment. Repeated exfoliation or overlapping intensive products can increase irritation. We examine the combined routine, follow product guidance and choose complementary functions, so each addition has a reason beyond making the ritual more elaborate.

Products we love using

We want products that do their job and feel good to use. We try them ourselves to assess texture, application and finish, and examine their formulations to understand their skincare function. We choose each product individually, rather than taking an entire range on reputation.

Designing the experience

How sensory design
guided our ritual house.

We experience a treatment through more than its effect on our skin. What we hear, smell, taste and feel matters too. At EDONÉ, we give each of these the attention it deserves.

Light

We chose warm light for the intimacy of an evening spent somewhere you love. Lamps below 2700 K, arranged in layers rather than a bright overhead wash, create the setting for unwinding and enjoying the ritual.

Music

We remember whole periods of our lives through the music we listened to. A familiar song can bring back a person, a place, a version of ourselves. What we hear during a ritual deserves that same attention. We create EDONÉ playlists for the pleasure of listening while someone looks after you, choosing the music as carefully as the treatment. You can enjoy our selection, bring your own, or spend the visit in silence.

Touch

The pleasure of a treatment depends as much on how it feels as on the products we use. We choose our tools and product textures with that in mind, and train our estheticians in technique, pressure and pace. For the textiles, we use pure cotton: bed linen with a thread count above 300 and towels above 450 GSM, washed with eco-friendly detergents.

Scent

Sometimes you recognise a place by its scent before you can put the memory into words. Fragrance can make a visit feel familiar long after it ends. We want the scents at EDONÉ to be worth remembering, and we care about their composition as much as their character. We chose soy-wax candles and selected our fragrance oils with the same attention to ingredients as to scent. We use them sparingly, with a fragrance-free setting available.

Taste

Offering someone a drink is one of the simplest ways to welcome them. You sit down, hold the cup and enjoy something prepared for you. At EDONÉ, that small act of hospitality has its own place in the ritual. We prepare tea, infusions and coffee in-house, giving you fifteen minutes to enjoy the flavour and the welcome before your treatment begins.

A lighter footprint

We are committed to reducing plastic throughout the house and eliminating it wherever possible. We consider plastic when buying products and supplies, and look for ways to use less of it in our daily work.

The rituals

Before your ritual

Fifteen minutes
to shift your mindset.

Every treatment begins with fifteen minutes of refreshments to help you shift your mindset and prepare to receive the ritual.

Over a tea, an infusion or a coffee, leave your worries and responsibilities—as a partner, parent, child, sibling or professional—outside the door. This is your time to receive attention.
