French fashion house Courrèges has launched Colognes Imaginaires, a collection of four fragrances intended to imagine the ‘perfumes of the future’: 2030 Verbena Crush, 2040 Nectar Tonka, 2050 Berrie Flash and 2060 Cedar Pulp. Expect a new scent for 2070 to launch later this year…
For some reason I woke up this morning thinking about Tiger Balm. I used to always have a tin in my purse, back in another life. Does anybody still use it? A little 4g tin is $2 at iHerb.

Almost-Friday and Hug Your Cat Day. (PSAs: Your cat might not want a hug. The splitmeet is coming up on Saturday! And if you missed yesterday’s scent of the day, please be aware that we are trying to do a better job of avoiding biased political speech.) What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m smelling cheerful and summery in Ormonde Jayne Osmanthus.

Aha, something I want not-just-for-the-packaging: Parfumerie Générale's Neroli ad Astra hand and body wash. "Parfumerie Generale are expanding their fine perfumes universe with the new hand and body wash. It's perfumed with PG19.1 Neroli ad Astra (@3%), the bestselling neroli perfume from their range. The generously perfumed formula is based on a cocktail of cleansing agents of natural and renewable origin including sodium cocoyl glutamate (this very mild surfactant is derived from the fatty acids of coconut oil and is an amino acid most abundant in the structural protein (collagen) of human skin). This gentle cleansing gel with rich foam can be used for washing hands, body, hair and the face." £39 for 500 ml at Bloom in the UK.
