Spendy but fun: a Les Bulles d'Agathe discovery set from Maison Francis Kurkdjian (we've posted this before, some years back, but some of the fragrances are new). "Agathe's scented bubbles discovery set invites children to discover their sense of smell, and adults to have some fun. This set will take you on a woody, floral and fruity olfactive journey, thanks to a selection of iconic and exclusive scents. With playful reflections and bucolic scents, these scented soap bubbles are deliciously nostalgic. You will find in this set : Lavender, Strawberry, Rose, Pear and Mon beau Sapin." Five x 42 ml, $95.

The holiday candle trio from Maison Francis Kurkdjian for 2023 includes Rose des Neiges ("tangy, gourmand raspberry notes with elegant rose"), Mon Beau Sapin ("a pleasant walk deep in a snowy forest") and Jasmin d’Hiver ("a snow-capped flower garden where notes of jasmine are paired with the fullness of mango"). The set of three 95g candles is $145 at Saks (and you can also find the individual candles in 280g, although I am not sure if they are in the US as of yet).

You may remember that the Perfumer’s Garden at the Estate of Trianon (at the Palace of Versailles), created with the support of Maison Francis Kurkdjian, was due to open this spring. It will open on May 30. In the video below, Alain Baraton, Head gardener of the estate of Trianon, and Francis Kurkdjian, Perfumer and Artistic Director, conduct a tour. About 4 minutes.
