What I almost posted yesterday before I got sidetracked by food...from Ladurée's limited edition Tropical Body collection for summer 2019, body powder, rumored to smell like pineapples. The collection also includes Body Sorbet and Shower Gel. I am not sure if it is out yet or where you can buy it, although if you're in Australia, Bon Bon Cosmetics already has part of this collection, and they also have the heliotrope hand cream I was hankering after earlier this year.
We’re starting off this year’s holiday gift series with scented body products of all kinds, and as always, do add any of your own recommendations in the comments! There are seven more posts to come.
My own favorite, just for the spiffy packaging: Cartier La Panthére Powder De Parfum Étincelante. “A shimmering La Panthére Perfume Powder leaving on the skin a velvety veil. A product offering a new sensual gesture, to be layered with the Eau de Parfum and the Shimmering Eau de Parfum for a perfect ritual.” $75 for 100g at Neiman Marcus…
A lemming for Halloween, courtesy of Jessica: Bewitching Body Powder. "Be hauntingly sensational with this bewitchingly soft powder. Caress your body with Rose Petal, Jasmine & Patchouli. Put him under your spell... [...] This is one for those who love timeless and ancient scents.. and of course patchouli." 32g for $15 at Little Bits at Etsy.
More limited edition Rose Pompon from Annick Goutal: the prettily packaged Poudre irisée corps et décolleté. It promises to leave a silky veil with a pearlized finish. 80g for €50 at Annick Goutal in France.
Byredo's new Kabuki Perfumes are brush-on scented powders in lacquer tubes. They will be available in Bal d’Afrique, Blanche and Gypsy Water, and are due to launch soon. They can be pre-ordered now from Essenza Nobile in Germany, €45 each for 7g.
