Lazy weekend poll ~ three free perfumes, episode 3

Posted by Robin on 25 July 2020 335 Comments

A repeat of a poll we did in 2011 and 2016: let’s say you’re going to get three fragrances for free. Name your picks…

1. The first fragrance has to be a regular perfume that you could easily buy online — nothing ultra-rare or vintage or so exclusive you’d have to travel somewhere to buy it. What is your pick?

2. The second fragrance is a vintage (possibly but not necessarily discontinued) perfume that you’re going to find at a garage sale, in perfect condition, for $5 (free in perfumath). What is your pick?

3. The third fragrance can be either an ultra-rare / exclusive / hard to find perfume, OR, a custom perfume made just for you by the perfumer of your choice. What is your pick?

The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 25 July 2020 7 Comments

From Gucci's Herbarium collection, the bee incense stand in porcelain, shown in green, also sold in black. "The incense burner is designed as a small round dish, featuring Gucci's Herbarium motif—a whimsical Toile de Jouy design of cherry branches, leaves and flowers, inspired by a vintage fabric. The center bee, a historical Gucci code taken from the '70s archives, has a small opening to hold an incense stick." 4 inch diameter, $195. Hat tip to Kevin! (If you look around, you can find a slightly larger oval dish with a stag beetle instead of a bee, $310.)

KFC + Crocs, the movie

This one minute spot is from earlier this year, when KFC did fried chicken scented bucket platform Crocs for New York Fashion Week, and I probably didn't even notice.

KFC + Crocs

Posted by Robin on 25 July 2020 9 Comments

I posted a link to these on Twitter yesterday, but here's a better shot: the KFC fried chicken Crocs, complete with (removable) fried chicken scented "Jibbitz" (those embellishment thingies that look like drumsticks). They go on sale Tuesday at the Crocs site, and are bound to sell out immediately. $59.99, with $3 going to the REACH Educational Grant Program. (via mashed, eater) More scented shoes here, here and here.
