Will Cire Trudon ever stop trolling me? I’ll take a few of the new L’Œuf diffusers, please (and a few rolls of that wallpaper shown in the background at right, while you’re at it).

Issue 9 of Nez is out, and so is Vetiver in Perfumery: "Originating in India and cultivated principally in Haiti, vetiver is a topical grass whose tangled roots contain a fragrant essence that can be extracted via steam distillation. At once fresh, citrusy, vegetal, woody and smoky; vetiver’s essential oil is a perfume all on its own. Though once emblematic of classic masculine perfumery, vetiver has long-since become a staple of the perfumer’s palette and lent its characteristic aroma to countless compositions for both men and women." 96 pages, $25 at Luckyscent (and Issue 9 is $29 for 160 pages, plus they still have Issues 3-8 in stock).

Now in limited-edition rose-designed packaging, this portable aluminum collector's bottle is perfect for travel, or for everyday on-the-go use at work or at the gym. The potent formula contains 100% of the Rose de Mai, including the total extract of the petals and all its essential oils, which Sylvie first discovered in a field in Grasse, France nearly 20 years ago. Crafted in France with the highest quality pure botanicals." $59 for 75 ml.
