Spine surgery was the most interesting one to me, says Dr. Steven Cyr, even when it is considered the most complex one. In 1992, Dr. Cyr entered medical school on a United States Air Force scholarship. As he graduated, he started working in the Air Force at Wilford Hall Medical Center. He was a flight surgeon for the next two years and had begun his orthopaedic residency program with due permission from the Air Force.

Dr. Cyr chose spine surgery as his scope of study and was granted the single fellowship for spine surgery. It was the most complicated and intimidating specialty for many but Dr. Cyr found it the most interesting one. One can understand his passion and dedication for the study in spine surgery as he was the only fellow from the country to get the Mayo Clinic fellowship in spine surgery.

Dr. Cyr served as the chief of Air Force Spine Surgery and the spine surgery consultant to the Surgeon General of the Air Force after completion of the fellowship. He worked in the position for six years and then rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel and deployed twice to the Air Force Theater Hospital in Balad, Iraq.

Not only as a surgeon, but Dr. Cyr has also worked as an assistant professor of surgery for the Uniformed Services University for the Health Sciences and trained many orthopaedic residents and physician assistant fellows while at Wilford Hall. Teaching is one of his passions that he is pursuing till today. He is a preceptor for UT Health providing clinical and surgical guidance to students in the physician assistant program.

SPOTLIGHT: Sweet vinyl by DREAMOUR

What happens when two immensely talented visionaries come together to create elegance and ingenuity in a sculptural glass fragranced candle? Dreamour. That is the long and short version of how Dreamour was created. Founded by Karissa Rowe and Neal Klotsman in late September 2022, Dreamour was founded with the goal of creating a luxury fragrance brand that operates at the intersection of functional art in the candle market space.

Rowe, a Parsons School of Design graduate, set out to fill the niche of integrating design in the candle marketplace. Unlike most candle vessels that are mass-produced, Dreamour’s founders desired to prioritize the artisanal craftsmanship of glass in their production processes of the sculptural glass designs. This resulted in a long timeline of sourcing the globe for talented glass artisans who could transform a sketch into a functional and sophisticated candle vessel. Each and every candle vessel is hand-blown, inherently resulting in a one-of-a-kind product and unique experience for the consumer. These functional fragrant candles also act as a piece of décor due to its sculptural and alluring appearance.

Sweet Vinyl, Dreamour’s first candle scent, fills the room with musky & leathery notes combined with earthy notes of vetiver and cypriol, topped with a citrus touch of bergamot and mandarin. The founders worked with master perfumers in Grasse, France, to create a scent that invoked notes of memorable moments, emphasizing high quality ingredients in the fragrances in a soy wax blend. This resulted in candles that consist of clean ingredients, a vegan formula, and is entirely cruelty-free.

It is the personification of the glass blowers’ spirit, the heart of Grasse imprisoned in a bottle, and the narrative of two visionaries that sets Dreamour at the top of the candle market pedestal. Dreamour embodies the sophistication and savior-faire French perfumery as a luxury brand, while being a NYC based brand. Dreamour is currently stocked at Patron of the New in New York, along with other major designer luxury known brands. Rowe and Klotsman are currently expanding their production lines and will drop new fragrances and designs in early 2023. Don’t expect anything ordinary with Dreamour, as they will continue to bring a unique perspective to the marketplace of home fragrances.
