The story behind the name
aruem [ ah-room ] • (noun) a fragrant heart
The Aruem is a blend of two significant ideas—the Indonesian word Harum, meaning beautiful fragrance, and the Japanese word Arumi, meaning kindness. Each carries special ties to our founder, Clara's, background and self-love journey. Blended together, the two words became Aruem, meaning a fragrant heart.
Her vision through bringing these two words together was to emphasize the importance of being kind and to encourage others to find beauty in its purest form, which begins from within.
Because a kind heart has a beautiful fragrance—regardless of race, age or appearance.
