This is the first time a men’s fragrance has taken the worldwide first place spot. However, since its initial launch in 2015, it has seen continued success globally.

From the Thé des Signes series at Mariage Frères, Tigre: "Inspired by the royal and courageous sign of the Tiger, MARIAGE FRÈRES created this black tea sprinkled with golden tips and accentuated with a magical fragrance of cedar and pine needle balm as well as a bewitching hint of sunny bergamot. Goji berries, the signature of the THÉ DES SIGNES collection, bring a full and energizing fruity note to the composition." €26 for 100g at Mariage Frères.

This morning I’m in Guerlain Jicky, and drinking a cup of Yunnan Gold from Teaism. Messing about online last night, I found reports of 3 other perfumes Colette might have worn: Coty Jasmin de Corse, Balmain Vent Vert, and Robert Piguet Fracas. (I found these reports because I went looking to see if she wore Fracas, because she would have, right? Although I think she was in her 70s by the time Vent Vert or Fracas launched. This afternoon I will go looking for my Histoires de Parfums 1873 Colette — somewhere I have a small decant.)
Reminder: 1/28 is Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette’s birthday…
