Catching up on some brand videos we’ve missed while I’ve been showcasing gardens: first we have How to Use Bubble Bars from Lush, followed by (below the jump) Lily-Rose Depp doing a voiceover for Chanel’s I Am A Chanel Flower (about Grasse jasmine), then Cooking with the Gucci Osteria Chefs: Karime López Makes Gyoza Dumplings (if you click through to YouTube you’ll find the printed recipe, and there are a few more cooking demos on their YouTube channel), followed by We’re All In This Together from Hugo Boss. Last up, from Bvlgari, how to make a Tea Cocktail (again, if you click through to YouTube you’ll find the printed recipe, plus their channel has a few other home activity videos).
Tuesday scent of the day 5/5
Happy Cinco de Mayo! What fragrance are you wearing?
Points for me today — I’m in Honoré des Prés I Love Les Carottes, which I included in 5 perfumes: iris fragrances for spring. Tea at the moment is an organic Ceylon from Indulgashinna Estate, via Upton, with a bit of shaved nutmeg.
Reminder: 5/8 is Iris Day…
The daily lemming
From Lush, the reusable Keep It Fluffy bath bubble bar: "If your bath isn't absolutely filled to the brim with big, bodacious and beautiful bubbles...then really, what's the point? Keep It Fluffy is a hot pink bubbler that lets you enjoy bath after bath of our famous Hollywood-style foam. Just run this bottle under the tap to release its heady jasmine, lemongrass and ylang ylang oil fragrance. Then hop in and see why it's always better on the fluffy side of life." $14.95, should be enough for 6-8 baths.
Strictly for display purposes
The directive requires sales associates to sanitize hands in front of the customer, sanitize the bottle with alcohol spray and a tissue and spritz the sample on a blotting card to hand to the customer to smell the scent. Testers on counters will be strictly for display purposes.
— From the new 'tester practices' protocol Saks Fifth Avenue will reportedly use at the perfume counter when stores reopen. (Not surprisingly, fragrance is doing much worse than other beauty categories during the lock down.) Read more in How Will We Buy Our Perfume Now? at The New York Times. Hat tip to Kevin!
