The almost-daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 20 October 2023 2 Comments

If you were thinking of buying the large bottle of Diptyque L'Eau Papier, the holiday limited edition collector bottle is the exact same price as the "regular". "The limited-edition bottle has been revised in gold, with a transparent view that affords a glimpse of the nuances created by ink on paper. This light and fresh white-musk fragrance inspired by paper is composed of notes of steamed rice, luminous mimosa and a deep blonde wood accord that wears like a second skin." $175 for 100 ml at Nordstrom.

This year's holiday collection at Cire Trudon is "Astral", featuring four fragrances: Altaïr (silver; "marries the strength of oud with the delicateness of rose"); Fir (blue; "Hints of myrrh and incense absolute bring depth to the perfume’s head notes - Siberian pine and fir tree"); Gabriel (green; "With notes of leather, cashmere wood, and candied chestnuts, the fragrance weaves happy, cozy memories") and Gloria (red; "warms the room with the scent of firewood – composed of notes of Indonesian Patchouli, Haitian Vetiver and cedarwood. Wrapped around it are spicy notes of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, and a hint of citruses"). In 3 sizes, 270g ($148), 800g ($360) and 2.8kg ($750).
