Lanvin's latest scratch-and-sniff clothing: a t-shirt ($450) and sweatshirt ($590), both in 100% cotton and featuring a visual of an old Cosmétiques Lanvin advert. "The special print gives off a soft floral scent (violet) when rubbed. It can last up to 15 cold hand washes." At Lanvin.
Silk ribbons from Atelier Boivin threaded with scented ceramics from The Different Company. "Our perfumed ribbon is a new way to wear perfume while accessorizing your outfit. For both men and women, to wear as you want, according to your mood or to the occasion: on the wrist, around the neck or even in the hair, do not limit yourself and create your own (perfumed) style! Choose your ribbon, from our selection of 10 styles, and your scented ceramic, available in 3 fragrances. You can, if you want to, add a second ceramic to intensify the sillage of your perfumed ribbon or to create a unique sillage by combining two scents." In Tokyo Bloom, AlSahra or MajaïnaSin, €25 each.
At present, there are just about 7.7 billion people on this planet, and most of them couldn’t fashion you a scratch-n-sniff garment if you paid them. By this measurement, Lanvin comes out ahead. But does it make admirable use of its advantage?
That is one of the thousands of questions the T-shirts inspire.
— Caity Weaver on Lanvin's scratch-n-sniff T-shirts, which sold out before I ever heard about them (from Kelly Red, thank you) or got my hands on the article about them (hat tip to Kevin). Read more in What in the World Is a $590 Scratch-and-Sniff T-shirt Doing in 2020? at The New York Times.
For Frenesia Pink, I created a musky-fruity eau de parfum with a rose-litchi impression. A drop of jasmine adds an impression of strawberry. For the first chapter, [with] Fendifrenesia Yellow, I wanted a bright leather note impression with no darkness nor dirtiness. A musky-leather eau de parfum with a daring twist of iris oil, which is very soft, enveloping and comfortable to wear.
