In 2023, Romanova launched Aman Essential Skin, the hospitality brand’s first foray into functional and active skincare with Japanese beauty company Kosé. “The idea was to let you take a piece of Aman with you,” she told the Post last year. “We started working on this line during the pandemic, so it was a challenging experience,” adding that she was thankful to Kosé “for giving me the chance to be involved in the development and for following my direction”.
