Acqua di Parma's holiday collection for 2021 (including the advent calendar) features an Emilio Pucci print, and a portion of the proceeds go to Save the Children's Rewrite the Future campaign. Shown is the Notte di Stelle Diffuser: "The Vortici print dresses up both the bottle and the box of the Notte di Stelle diffuser, a real design object to perfume the home with the special atmosphere of the Holidays. A warm and bright fragrance where the balsamic notes of pine oil and the scents of birch and guaiac wood are combined with the spicy accents of clove and the pungent hint of raspberry." Available in 180 (€91) and 500 (€185) ml. (There is also a candle in two sizes. I have not seen this year's design in the US as of yet, but these are usually sold at Neiman Marcus and other high end department stores.)

New from the (luxury) Loewe home collection (most of which I've been lemming since it came out in late 2020), new soaps, available in liquid or exfoliating bars-on-rope, in Liquorice, Marihuana and Oregano. The description for the Liquorice bar soap: "The Liquorice solid soap is a cleansing bar perfumed with the sweet aroma of the liquorice plant’s roots that leaves the skin feeling soft and refreshed. The aromatic scent reveals deep, woody notes over time. [...] Exfoliating particles of red algae infuse the soap with their properties—red algae has been used for thousands of years to fight skin inflammation, dry skin and wrinkles, being rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals—while shea butter is a skin-nourishing, soothing and deeply moisturising element." $48 for the 290g bar, $60 for the 360 ml liquid soap, at Parfums Loewe.
