Happy Black Friday / Buy Nothing Day! Our community project for today: pick your Black Friday poison…wear the last fragrance you bought, wear a cheap thrill, or wear a fragrance you love but refuse to buy in a full size because it’s too expensive.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
I’m in one of the last fragrances I bought, Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille…
A quick spot for Diptyque's limited edition Baies candle.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who is celebrating today!
Whether you’re celebrating or not, feel free to talk about anything you like: what fragrance you’re wearing today, what perfume you’re especially thankful for, what you’re going to cook or eat today…whatever you like, so long as it doesn’t conflict with our comment policy…
From Rituals' limited edition Holiday 2018 collection, The Ritual of Yalda, a burning papers set. "Celebrate the longer nights in good company and create your own wishing ceremony with this wishing box. 1. Tear out a sheet of perfumed paper. 2. Write down your wish & fold it. 3. Light it, blow it out & place it in the tray. 4. Watch it glow as it sends your wish into the universe. 5. Enjoy the mesmerising scent of pomegranate & watermelon." The set comes with 36 perfumed wishing papers, the bowl and a box of matches. €17.50 at Rituals in the Netherlands (it is also available elsewhere, but at the moment I cannot find it in the US although parts of this collection are here.)
The 2018 holiday video from Burberry, with Naomi and Valerie Morris-Campbell, Kristin Scott Thomas, M.I.A. and Matt Smith. (Vogue UK says: “In contrast to the festive campaigns under Christopher Bailey, which were as warm-and-fuzzy as they come thanks to a line-up of British favourites including Julie Walters, Riccardo Tisci’s holiday outlook is less saccharine, more eccentric.” If you were hoping for more warm fuzzies, here are the 2015 and 2016 extravaganzas. I missed the 2017 one — featuring Cara Delevingne and Matt Smith — altogether so I’ve included it below the jump.)
