Labor Day means so many things: among them, a day to commemorate the working class; the end of summer; the start of a new school year; and for the sartorially correct, the last day to wear white shoes and seersucker. What perfume feels right to you for Labor Day?
Here are a few choices of the top of my head:
Estée Lauder White Linen: O.K., I admit I chose this one for its name. From the sound of it, White Linen should herald summer and tea parties on long, sloping lawns with people dressed like Jay Gatsby playing croquet. The truth is, White Linen is sharp and clean and infinitely more versatile than its name implies, as long as its wearer has combed her hair and powdered her nose.
L’Artisan Parfumeur Piment Brûlant: Time for summer salads and barbeque! Piment Brûlant smells like a freshly snapped red bell pepper on a bed of vanilla-scented rose petals and cut grass…
Actor Robert Pattinson and model Camille Rowe hang out, kiss, swim, and drive on the beach for Dior Homme. This is the Uncensored Official Director’s Cut (almost 2 minutes long); the shorter censored version (about 1 minute) leaves out the smoking and some other stuff, but is not particularly more tame otherwise.
Below the jump, le making of. If that’s not enough, or if you’d just like to see Mr. Pattinson with a beard, you can check out this interview in which he talks about working with director Romain Gavras.
