Jennifer Lopez has launched One, her latest fragrance for women…
Tuesday scent of the day 9/21
It’s Tuesday, the International Day of Peace, World Gratitude Day, and Leonard Cohen’s birthday. You have a whole week left to make your deal in the swapmeet. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m wearing Chopard Néroli à la Cardamome du Guatemala. Tea at the moment is a blend of 2/3 Dikom Estate Assam from Upton and 1/3 Rishi Chocolate Chai.
Reminder: 9/24 is the birth date of Jim Henson and F. Scott Fitzgerald…
A confidant that makes you feel safe
Vanilla, a comforting smell. When I think of friendship, I think of being close to each other; not just physically, but emotionally, and that’s vanilla for me. It’s like a confidant that makes you feel safe.
— Perfumer Jérôme Epinette on what friendship smells like. Read more in The Perfumer Who Created a New Way to Wear Rose Gold at The Cut.
The daily lemming
New from the (luxury) Loewe home collection (most of which I've been lemming since it came out in late 2020), new soaps, available in liquid or exfoliating bars-on-rope, in Liquorice, Marihuana and Oregano. The description for the Liquorice bar soap: "The Liquorice solid soap is a cleansing bar perfumed with the sweet aroma of the liquorice plant’s roots that leaves the skin feeling soft and refreshed. The aromatic scent reveals deep, woody notes over time. [...] Exfoliating particles of red algae infuse the soap with their properties—red algae has been used for thousands of years to fight skin inflammation, dry skin and wrinkles, being rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals—while shea butter is a skin-nourishing, soothing and deeply moisturising element." $48 for the 290g bar, $60 for the 360 ml liquid soap, at Parfums Loewe.
