Victoria’s Secret has introduced Tease Rebel. Tease Rebel is a roundabout sort of flanker to 2007’s Sexy Little Things, via 2010’s Sexy Little Things Noir Tease (which became Noir Tease for short), and which was a flanker to 2008’s Sexy Little Things Noir. See also: 2017’s Tease Flower…

Our community project for today: in honor of Pluto Demoted Day, wear a fragrance you used to obsess over, but don’t care so much about anymore. If you can, tell us why you don’t love it anymore. Thank you to Katrina for the suggestion!
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 had a hard time with this one because I have given away my biggest contenders. I ended up with Houbigant Aperçu, a fragrance I bought because it was the closest thing to Guerlain Mitsouko that I found wearable. I was never really obsessed with it, but I probably thought I’d enjoy it more than I do, or that I’d grow into the style eventually. Nope. I probably wear it twice a year, and that’s enough…
Bath bombs for the shower? Yuzu Soap's shower tablets promise to scent your shower if not your person: "To use, place one tablet on the shower floor or bathtub edge in one of the two corners closest to the water stream (but not directly in the water stream). Drizzle water onto the tablet to activate. As the tablet fizzes, the essential oils will be released into the shower. For best use and to help prolong the scent, it is highly recommended to place the tablet in a small dish (so the water doesn’t drain immediately after activating the tablet)." (Not surprisingly, they also sell a small square dish for that purpose.) Available at Anthropologie in Lavender Sage or Verdant Variety (3 each lavender sage, eucalyptus mint and orange mint), $26 for 9 tablets. If you buy directly from Yuzu Soap, you can also find Lemon Tea Tree, Rosemary Lime and Bergamot Lime.
Louis Vuitton has made no secret of its desire to build a beauty empire. The $465bn beauty market is set to increase to $750bn by 2024, according to Inkwood Research, and although last year Mintel reported that the fragrance category is only set to increase by about 1.4 per cent to £1.5bn by 2022, the blockbuster perfume remains a luxury lodestar. Chanel has built a $10bn-a-year business around a few key signature scents.
