The daily lemming
Maison Francis Kurkdjian's holiday fragrance, Mon Beau Sapin, in taper candles: "These limited-edition candles pay tribute to the Art de Vivre à la Française and to tableware, so dear to Francis Kurkdjian's heart. They come in an elegant box decorated with the Mon Beau Sapin pattern." 3 candles for $45 at Bloomingdales.
A question of timing
It’s a question of timing because what is ‘masculine’ today may not have been ‘masculine’ a decade ago and it may not be ‘masculine’ two or three decades from now. The idea or ‘masculinity’ and ‘feminity,’ they are conventions and they are concepts that evolve with society.
When I started working in perfume 25 years ago, fruity notes were not appealing for men. What I mean by fruity notes- it could be pineapple or pear or apple, which are very commonly used in male perfume now but were not popular in male perfumes 25 years ago.
