The spot for Aqua Kenzo.
The daily lemming
Someone who is familiar with the Korean beauty brand Skinfood will have to tell us if the products smell as good as they sound? My skincare regimen is incredibly simple and works well for me, so I'm not really likely to adopt any new products (much less an elaborate multi-step program) but this isn't the first time I've been attracted by the packaging of something from Skinfood. Peach Sake Toner: "This lightweight, refreshing toner contains rice sake and peach extract, both rich in vitamins A and C, which work to minimize shine and the appearance of pores." $15 for 135 ml at Skinfood US.
Monday scent of the day 6/25
Boom, it’s Monday again. It’s also Global Beatles Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in a quick spritz of Aedes de Venustas Copal Azur, which made Erin’s Top 10 of Summer this year.
Reminder: 6/29 will be Opposite Day…
Putrid odor
Whenever this rare plant blooms, it causes a sensation. Maybe it’s because it is known for having one of the largest inflorescences in the world, but more likely it’s because of the putrid odor it releases during its brief 24- to 36-hour peak, like the smell of rotting flesh, the reason the plant is more popularly known as the corpse flower.
— There's a bloom watch on (including a live cam) at the New York Botanic Garden, where their titan arum is on display and expected to bloom at any time.
Lazy weekend poll ~ summer vacation, edition 4
A variation on a poll we did in 2012, 2014 and 2015.
Tell us about a summer vacation, any summer vacation: one you took, one you plan to take, one you’d like to take. And tell us about the perfume that best matches that vacation.
Or, as always, just talk about something else…
