Lily-Rose Depp for Chanel No. 5 L’Eau.
Tuesday scent of the day 10/29
It’s Tuesday and National Cat Day! What fragrance are you wearing?

She describes her family as “Irish potato-famine people” on her father’s side and “cotton pickers from Arkansas” on her mother’s.

The daily lemming
From the new Art de Vivre collection at L'Occitane, Douceur Immortelle, shown in bar soap ($14) and candle ($29), also available in room spray ($34) and diffuser refill ($19). "After a long warm day, the sun-drenched soil of Provence releases a scent beautifully infused with flowers and herbs. The warmth of these summer evenings has a splendor that deserves to be shared. L'OCCITANE has captured this warmth in a candle with a blend of essential oils of Immortelle, Basil, Cypress, Eucalyptus and Litsea Cubeba. Together, they express that exquisite, enchanting softness of the evening air and bring you a moment of well-being and conviviality."
