It would be so elegant

Posted by Robin on 8 October 2022 Leave a Comment

A Plume of Blooms doesn’t break ground as a beauty product, but as a food topping, it belongs in Jo Malone’s diet. Of the three, Meyer called this one his favorite, comparing the sophisticated yellow-white bouquet of petals—including jasmine, honeysuckle, and ylang-ylang—to shaving truffles on pasta, then recommended buyers try a spritz on a mozzarella tomato salad. “It would be so elegant,” he said. “It uses this incredible jasmine absolute. I don’t think there’s anything like it even in the perfume market.”

— Josh Meyer on Imaginary Authors on the brand's latest collaboration with Salt & Straw. Read more in A Lick of Scents at The Stranger.

I am not prepared to spend $15 for the opportunity, but I would sure like to try one (or maybe two) of the Medjool Dates, Pecans, Himalayan Salt Bars from Spring & Mulberry ("Crunchy, chewy, salty, and sweet, this bar brings together buttery, slow-roasted pecans and caramelly Medjool dates for a toothsome mix that’s hard to stop munching."). At Beautyhabit.

I am pretty sure I need this: Floral topping from Ami Ami. "Meet your new favorite condiment! An aromatic blend of pistachio, rose, walnut, sesame, coconut and cardamom. Sprinkle it generously on all your faves! Smoothies, pancakes, ice cream, yogurt, baked goods and anything else your heart desires." $21 at Beautyhabit.

In case you need some non-perfume Valentine's ideas, here is Steven Smith's limited edition Lover's Leap Tea ("high grown Ceylon tea from Lover’s Leap Tea Estate, coupled with pink rose petals, hand-sorted chamomile petals and subtle citrus flavors") and the matching chocolate bar from Ritual ("...marriage of our 70% dark Madagascar and Peru chocolate with Lover’s Leap black tea blend from Smith Teamaker"). You can find the bar for $14 at Ritual, or in a gift set at Steven Smith, with a chocolate bar and 3 kinds of tea (Lover's Leap, Black Lavender and Big Hibiscus), $49.

Fatto a Mano: #DGPanettone

Yes, please: Fiasconaro panettone with hazelnuts for Dolce & Gabbana, "featuring Sicilian Hazelnuts with a velvety Sicilian Manna cream". I do not see this one on the US site, but they do have a pistachio with pistachio cream for $60, and I'd take that one too. (Or, shop around, you can find the panettone without the tin, the cream, or the extra branding for much less.)
