In case you have plenty of extra cash lying about this holiday, just screaming for a purpose, here's the D-Air diffuser from Dior: "Born from a collaboration between the excellence of La Collection Privée Christian Dior's savoir-faire and the technological expertise of the French brand Compoz Paris, the D-Air fragrance diffuser is a singular object, a genuine manifesto of beauty with a pure and contrasting design. Intuitive to use, it features a simple refill system, a one-touch start, and an ajustable diffusion time. This exceptional piece works with capsules that diffuse the olfactory notes of Thé Osmanthus, Ambre Nuit, Oud Supreme, Jardin d'Orangers and Figue Méditerranée." $2900. I think it includes the 5 fragrance capsules but I'm not sure and hey, what's the difference. Refill capsules are $95 each or $475 for the set of 5.
Waking up in a room that smells like a citrus grove is divine
Waking up in a room that smells like a citrus grove is divine. When I open my eyes and turn off my alarm in a cloud of confusion, the scent helps ground me into reality. Of course, if I didn't get enough sleep the night before, the smell of oranges doesn't change the fact that I'll wake up tired. However, it helps to pull me out of that groggy state and into a pleasant wake-up routine.
