I’m doing pink pepper with L’Artisan Parfumeur Timbuktu.
Reminder: on 11/18, wear a fragrance with a peppercorn note…

When Grande partnered with Luxe Brands to release her first fragrance in 2015, she was jumping into a market well past its peak. Celebrity perfume lines from her predecessors like Rihanna and Katy Perry had drifted into unmemorable releases; Taylor Swift had already given up the game a year prior. Grande’s A-list counterparts have since taken to launching high-end skincare faster than you can shake a sheet mask at them. Perfume is a surprisingly old-school strategy for bolstering the image of a young pop star, but it works for Grande, not only because her fragrance storytelling is so sharply aligned with her musical stardom, but also because her fragrances, bolstered by Cloud’s runaway success, are hyped enough to command a fan base wholly unconnected to hard-core Arianators.

I am indeed tired enough that this looks really appealing: Sleep Body Oil Mist, from From J.R. Watkins. "The SLEEP Body Oil Mist by J.R. Watkins is a hydrating body oil that leaves your skin moisturized, soft, and glowing with every use. Infused with floral monoi (A.K.A. gardenia) and musky sandalwood for a relaxing and calming aroma and skin-nourishing ingredients." $15 for 142 ml at Ulta.

I’m taking pepper points today in Marni, and after a long weekend of lattes and cappucinos, I’m back to my usual black tea. This morning, it’s a mix of leftover chai teas (probably mostly Mariage Frères Chandernagor) mixed with Upton Idulgashinna Estate Organic.
