Kate Spade has introduced Bloom, a new fragrance for women. Bloom is not to be confused with 2018’s In Full Bloom…
Monday scent of the day 1/15
It’s Martin Luther King’s birthday today. The bad news: it’s also Monday. The good news: we’re at the halfway point of meteorological winter. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Fendi Theorema, because Nancyleandros brought it up in yesterday’s poll.
Reminder: 1/19 is Dolly Parton’s birthday…
Part scientist, part wacky art lady
I think a lot of people would be surprised at the level of detail that goes into every aspect. Candles and fragrance sounds like an art kid’s dream (and it is!) but it’s also extremely technical and requires precision at every level. Every element of our candles is tested regularly and has been fine-tuned over time — plus we’re always thinking about how we can improve. Our fragrances start with my very precise olfactive briefs and our fragrance house brings them to life. I sometimes feel like I’m part scientist, part wacky art lady and I love it.

Lazy weekend poll ~ stepping back from the edge, episode 12
Our twelfth annual ‘stepping back’ poll: can this group of shameless enablers help each other not buy perfume? Let’s find out.
Name a perfume you’ve been itching to buy but suspect you might not need, and tell us why you think it might not really be a good use of your money. Maybe everyone will talk you out of it. Or, maybe not so much.
If you participated in this poll last year, tell us if you ended up buying the fragrance anyway…
