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.
Or maybe just the daily laugh? "The Officine Universelle Buly presents its new invention: the Eau Gymnastique, a perfume for sports shoes. It has a surprising specificity. It provides shoes with a scent that everyone likes to find: the smell of newness. For both high-level athletes as for ordinary people, the stakes are high and the issue infinitely trivial: shoes equals sweating. Yet, the smelly feet induce a persistent nuisance on appearance and self-image." 500 ml for €70 at Officine Universelle Buly. Hat tip to Kevin!

The latest linen spray from Frédéric Malle: "Following Dans Mon Lit, the first eau de lit for linens, radiating the refined and voluptuous charm of rose, Frédéric Malle brings us Dans Ton Lit, based around the enchanting, clean, sensual fragrance of orange blossom.

A few sprays on the sheets and pillows, and Dans Ton Lit leads us delicately into the gentlest dreams or caresses…" £85 for 100 ml at Harvey Nichols.
