Another option for your holiday shimmer: Chanel's limited edition No. 5 The Gold Body Oil / Huile d'Or. (I know they did a similar product in 2017, and possibly there have been others as well.) "The bottle houses golden-colored fragments that appear weightlessly suspended. The nourishing formula imparts a soft, satiny veil and subtle sheen for a radiant result. Inspired by the silky blend of May rose and grasse jasmine featured in the original fragrance, the body oil brings the floral-aldehydic bouquet of the timeless scent to life with voluptuous flair." $100 for 250 ml at Nordstrom.

Voicing an animated version of Coco Chanel in both English and French, the Oscar-winning actress plays the designer at the height of her Queen of Paris fame, as a 38-year-old doyenne and magnetic pole for the city’s modernist and avant-garde scenes.

Allow nature to do its job
First, they allow nature to do its job by maintaining grass to attract aphids, an insect that ladybugs and others feed off of, which keeps the ecosystem’s balance, hence helping with the fungus. And second, they introduced something a bit more experimental: They play piano notes to the roses. “We perceive it as music, but plants perceive it as frequency,” said [Jospeh] Mul. According to him, they’ve observed a positive effect on the roses, boosting their immune system and allowing them to ward off the fungus better.
