More from Paddywax: the National Parks collection, with crackling wood wicks. A portion of the proceeds goes to the National Park Foundation. If you shop around you can find candles for Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, Olympic, Acadia and Great Smokey Mountains (and possibly others I missed). Nordstrom has some of them at the moment ($33-34, plus there is a cute Mr. Kringle Candle plus Match Holder stack), and you'll also find a selection at Amazon.
The spot for Boucheron Serpent Bohème.
Actor Anthony Hopkins has introduced his debut fragrance, AH. A portion of the proceeds* will benefit No Kid Hungry…
Happy Tuesday! Also, International Sloth Day (that’s the mammal, not the sin), International Chefs Day, World Osteoporosis Day and World Statistics Day. Plus a bunch of birthdays: Arthur Rimbaud, Jelly Roll Morton, Bela Lugosi, Tom Petty, Viggo Mortensen. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Fendi Theorema, and drinking my second cup of Numi Breakfast Blend with nutmeg.
Reminder: on 10/23, wear a floriental, if you have one…
The smokiness of the galbanum and pink peppercorn stung my nostrils. Prior to developing anosmia, I wore subtle, floral scents but I instantly felt invigorated by the sheer potency of this unopened perfume. It soon became an integral part of my morning ritual – shower, brush teeth, make coffee, spritz perfume – and a way of ‘dressing up’ for Zoom meetings for my own pleasure and relaxation.
