Lazy weekend poll ~ open thread, last gasp of March 2019

Posted by Robin on 30 March 2019 260 Comments

Saturday is Doctors’ Day and Pencil Day and Vincent Willem van Gogh’s birthday, and Sunday is Eiffel Tower Day and Cesar Chavez Day and a bunch of other birthdays, including Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol and Christopher Walken. (Oh, and a quick reminder that Donatella will be dropping by for a visit on Tuesday.)

Luxury and attention to detail

Posted by Robin on 30 March 2019 5 Comments

When you look at the niche artisanal perfume industry 15 years ago, it was really not a big thing yet.

My ambition was to really create a collection of scents that would have this feeling of luxury and attention to detail, but translated into the 21st century.
