HOTLIST: Duygu Özen

Summer is about carving your own space and staying there until the sun sets. Duygu Özen’s space is all about golden hours, juicy peaches, silky sand, and sea salt. Laid-back, unfiltered, and just the right amount of messy—just how we like it. Hotlist bottles that vibe, the kind that makes you forget time exists.
