The daily lemming
Paradise does not come cheap. Jamaica ("Inspired by a trip to Jamaica, this balm smells just like bananas.

Tuesday scent of the day 2/11
Tuesday and Inventor’s Day! (Plus, if you live in New Mexico, Extraterrestrial Culture Day.) What fragrance are you wearing?
Me: still on vacation, (still behind on reading comments), still in Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess. Tea at the moment is Numi Chinese Breakfast.
Reminder: 2/14 we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day…
Very frustrating
Today it would be impossible to launch a perfume like Poison de Dior, for example. Brand interlocutors now mostly have a marketing approach. Furthermore, to alleviate the burden and responsibility of a launch, we now work with ten teammates on the development of a fragrance before it is tested.

It’s very frustrating.
