PSA: the splitmeet will start next Saturday, on the 22nd.

Niche line Bond no. 9 has launched Chelsea Nights, the latest in their series of fragrances inspired by New York City neighborhoods. Chelsea Nights follows 2003’s Chelsea Flowers…
A budget(-ish) option for shimmer, if you don't want to shell out for the Maison Francis Kurkdjian or Chanel models: L'Occitane's Shea Green Chestnut Shimmering Body Oil / Huile Scintillante Karité Chestnut. "This nourishing formula is enriched with shea oil to help soften skin, while leaving behind a delicate, iridescent finish. Our limited edition Green Chestnut holiday scent lightly perfumes skin with the fresh, invigorating aroma of an autumn forest. Celebrate with festive notes of fresh magnolia and chestnut delight, wrapped in warm vanilla, cedarwood and fir balsam." $48 for 100 ml at L'Occitane USA, where you'll also find tons of other products in the Green Chestnut fragrance (hand cream, shower cream, lip balm, bath bomb, scrub, body cream, etc).
A new spot from Atelier Cologne: "Atelier Cologne has taken on a [sic. new?] artistic direction. Inspired by the everchanging nature of our souls, our emotions and the poetry of life, we are bringing the brand closer to nature, craftsmanship and artistry."
