My favorite (which is not saying much because this is not really my style) is the Petal Head Candle Holder ("Embrace your candles with a ceramic flower girl, designed by Shona Heath. Handcrafted by renowned artisan producers 1882 Ltd in the UK. Includes a complimentary Home Candle that will fall automatically into your basket at checkout"), £392 (!!), but there's also a Lesser Spotter Zebra Diffuser Cover (£384 / !), a Daisy Cheeks Candle Lid (£98 / !) and a couple other items.

Reminder: on 7/2, Donatella will be dropping by for the damage poll, so wear one of your recent purchases…

Fragrance is having a moment

Posted by Robin on 30 June 2021 2 Comments

Fragrance is having a moment. After the 2020 slump, US and UK sales are up 32 per cent and 20 per cent respectively so far this year, according to market research firm NPD Group. China is particularly strong: Euromonitor estimates fragrance sales will climb 24 per cent to $2.4 billion in China next year.
