Advent calendar (purchasing) season is upon us. Always my first vote: Diptyque. For the 2020 version, you'll get seven 10 ml fragrances, plus one 70g candle, eleven 35g candles and an assortment of other goodies. Due to launch mid October, £320. (I think the 2019 version was $425 in the US?)
The daily lemming
Oh please, hold the holiday stuff until November, yes? But if you must know, The Body Shop is doing three holiday edition fragrances this year. Warm Vanilla is a repeat, then you've got Festive Berry (with cranberry) and my (possibly, unsniffed) pick, Winter Jasmine, available in just about any body product you might think of, and described as a "fresh, crisp and white" floral. Out in the UK already, presumably it will be in the US soon enough.
Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays! We’ll be back on Thursday.
In the meantime, feel free to talk about whatever you like: what perfume you’re wearing today, what you’re cooking (or eating) over the holidays, anything at all.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
The daily lemming
The Holiday 2019 collector bottle of Yves Rocher Comme Une Evidence. Full price is €40 for 50 ml Eau de Parfum, but currently €25 in France or €23 in Belgium.
#DGPanettone
Fiasconaro (of Sicily) make panettone with Candied Chestnuts and Gianduja for Dolce & Gabbana. If you live in the EU and want to see the whole range, go here. If you live in the US, Neiman Marcus does not have this particular one, but they have some other Fiasconaro + Dolce & Gabbana panettone, including one with citrus and saffron for $65. (And I did not do an exhaustive search, other stores might have these.)
