It’s Monday and International Dance Day. (And a couple quick PSAs: this will be my last Monday post for the foreseeable future…look for the weekend polls to expand into Mondays, and I’ll mostly be posting from Tuesday through Saturday. Also, the swapmeet will close tomorrow night, make your deals while you still can!) Birthdays: Duke Ellington and Willie Nelson. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Terre d’Hermès.
Reminder: 5/3 will be Chypre Friday…
Saturday is National Sense of Smell Day. We’re celebrating all weekend long by smelling things and talking about them. (And, maybe, by trading things to smell? The swapmeet is still open!)
Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, your favorite thing to smell right now (perfume or otherwise), whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
French ready-to-wear line Zadig & Voltaire has launched This is Her! Unchained, a new limited edition flanker to 2016’s This is Her!…
Bvlgari has launched Chill & Sole, a new fragrance in the Allegra collection. Also new is another “magnifying essence” for layering, Neroli…
BATS! "What happens when two out-of-the-box Brooklyn brands strike up a collab? A collection that sparks smiles, ignites conversation, and stirs the senses comes to light! Known for creating unconventional wallpaper that flips tradition on its head, Flavor Paper was stoked when APOTHEKE suggested a collaboration to bring an assortment of its infamous immersive designs off the wall and to the wax as tasty vessels for some seriously sweet and savory scents." Shown is the White Vetiver (silky cashmere, eucalyptus, and lilac mingled with earthy vetiver, creamy sandalwood, crisp amber, and white cedar) candle (there are 2 other designs but this is the only one with BATS), $52 for 354g at Bloomingdales.
