From the Tonka in Vanillary to the Rose in Rose Jam, Jasmine in Lust or Patchouli in Lord Of Misrule. Wear a story with a spritz of these fine fragrances." Four 15 ml bottles, £49. (More choices: the Retrospective set has Pansy, Dirty, Breath Of God and Karma for the same price, or if you have £99, you can get the Renaissance set with Sappho, Nero, Confetti and Frangipani.)
From Aftelier, pomanders in any of the brand's fragrances: "Our modern interpretation of a medieval pomander: an amulet that people carried with them, filled with sweet-smelling aromas to brighten their day. Our Perfume Pomander kit contains an elegant dropper-bottle of eau de parfum, 3 felt balls and a silk carrying pouch. Put 5 drops of the perfume on a felt ball and carry it in its pouch or your pocket. Touch and smell the felt ball whenever you want to feel soothed and uplifted. You can also simply wear the perfume on your skin." Shown is the new Violet Ambrosia, $60.
If you happen into Galeries Lafayette this week, please pick me up one of these pretty vintage-ish soap tins from Portuguese Brazilian brand Granado. Coffret de Savons Limão & Néroli features four 90g soaps scented with Tahitian lime and neroli, currently on markdown for €24.50.
Or if you like, pop over to one of the Granado stores in Paris or Lisbon…
