Wednesday scent of the day 10/6
It’s Hump Day! Also, National Noodle Day and German-American Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in By Kilian Intoxicated, one of the fragrances I was looking for when we did coffee last week. Of course I found it over the weekend when I was looking for something else. It needs more coffee, though, and if I still had any Demeter Espresso I would layer.
Reminder: 10/8 will be Thinking of You Friday…

[Artist Anicka] Yi’s work is often olfactory, honouring the sense she thinks humans have neglected in favour of the optical. “I’ve always maintained that when you’re on death row,” she once said, “you should get last scents or last sounds, the same way you get last meals.”

The (almost) daily lemming
And here we have the 2022 crystal limited edition of Lalique de Lalique, Fougères. (You can see the 2021 model here.) "Renowned the world over for the unmatched skills of its craftsmen, Lalique dedicates its magnificent 2022 Limited Edition to the art of glassmaking. The “Fougères” flacon evokes the impressive moment when the glassmaker takes up a glowing drop of molten crystal from the crucible with a slender cane: the birth of the spectacular piece. In another nod to the delicate process of crystal-making, the flacon is decorated with ferns (fougères in French). The plant, which grows in the forests surrounding the Cristallerie Lalique in Wingen-sur-Moder (Alsace), is also a major element of glassmaking. Rich in potash, fern ash has been produced for centuries to lower the melting temperature of glass to 1400-1500 degrees centigrade." 80 ml Parfum, $1800.
