Ladurée London Scented Wax Ball

From Ladurée, the London Scented Wax Ball: "a black perfumed ball with intense notes of leather and wax, presented in a gift box decorated with geometric patterns inspired by silk fabrics of elegant gentlemen. this perfectly sized perfumed balls are perfect for hanging in your closet to make sure all your clothes smell amazing. [sic]" $100 (ack!) for 200g at Beauty Bar Cosmetics. You can find the same leather fragrance in the Ladurée London candle.

    Why do I feel like this is some type of social experiment? A ball of hard black wax that smells like leather and and and and… wax, for $100. That sound? Marketers’ hands rubbing together as they laugh until they cry. Amazing, truly.

      It’s basically a very expensive sachet. It sort of cracked me up. The London Candle — which is really the same thing! wax + scent! — is probably more tempting to me, but would not pay this much in any case.

        I was going to suggest buying a leather conditioning kit and leave it open in the closet or a pair of leather shoes that you toss anywhere in the closet.
