Indie natural perfumer Ayala Moriel has launched <3, a new limited edition floriental fragrance.
...We walked from the top of the hill to the sea and savoured the salted air. We buried our faces in the white blooming foliage of clematis armandii, covering us in a shower of meteorites and drowning our nostrils in their dreamy orange blossom scent.
Up the hill again, and in the garden. We sat under the blossoming cherry trees, observing their white petals fall one by one into the black pond. Just as our present moments are disappearing into the bleak past. We will never forget that night. It was equal to the day. Only that after that, the days will begin to lengthen, and we will have to wake up from this dream. Things will become more clear. More real. More light. Lightheaded from gin and tonic, washed down with salty tears of grateful appreciation muddled by the silent anger and deep sadness that is the inevitable realization that what is never will be again.
The new perfume is a blank slate in the shape of a black heart upon which you write and re-write your lover's past, present and future.
The notes feature cardamom, peppermint, clematis accord, incense and musk.
Ayala Moriel <3 is available in 4 or 15 ml Eau de Parfum or 5 ml Perfume Oil ($62 - $156); samples are also available.

That was exhausting
Sorry!
That 4 mL mini is so cute. Truth be told, I was more attracted to the backgammon board. My dad was an avid backgammon player and he taught us kids and the grandkids how to play so we can play with him. One of his happiest moments was discovering fellow backgammon ethusuiasts at Wegmans!
Yes! I was tempted to go search for inlaid backgammon boards on ebay, but I resisted the urge.
It’s a great board, and I like the way she used it in the image.
When I saw the bottle with the black heart label, I thought it was CdG Play.
And agree with Aspara.
It is like Play. Like the idea of the chalkboard label though.
Agree, that is interesting.
