History
Growing up in Southeast Asia, Thai-American sisters Lisa and Roslyn Gillespie were captivated by the scents that surrounded them: eucalyptus, jasmine, ginger, lemongrass, may chang and ylang ylang, to name a few. After stints as a clothing designer/professional ballet dancer (Lisa) and marketing expert for agricultural exports and international education (Rosyln), the duo teamed up with French-born, Asian-based spa consultants Marie-Eve Cadouin and Florence Jaffre in 2006 to found Akhassa, a holistic home spa collection that utilizes the fragrances the Gillespies' loved from childhood.
