Franz and his wife, Edith, experimented with blend after blend, seeking the definitive formulation. In 1931, they finally perfected an oil of extraordinary quality, with the preternatural therapeutic and restorative qualities they sought. As the reputation of their exceptional elixir grew, the Kleins could barely keep up with demand. Then fate intervened, in a typically unusual form. Michael Hawksley chanced upon the oil while visiting his Mayfair hairdresser, who had been asked to carry a small number of bottles for the Royal Household. Intrigued, Michael tried the oil for himself, and was so impressed he knew he had to bring it to a wider audience. In 2014, the Hawksley family acquired OLVERUM in its entirety, creating new packaging to embody the quality and impeccable attention to detail which defines the brand. With a vision to preserve OLVERUM’s unique heritage for another generation, Michael’s son, Dominic, began work to develop the brand further. OLVERUM has now embarked on a new chapter with the launch of several new extensions to the line. Honouring the authentic spirit, traditions, and therapeutic ethos that have stood the test of time for almost nine decades, be assured that OLVERUM is a new word in luxurious self-care.
