An Ode to Oud

Posted by Robin on 11 April 2023 4 Comments

A spot for Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade.

The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 30 January 2023 4 Comments

The second set of limited edition collector bottles from the latest capsule collection for Louis Vuitton by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. It's the same three fragrances as the first drop (Spell on You, L’Immensité and Attrape-Rêves; see the first set here) but in lively graphic designs, including the artist's pumpkin motif for L’Immensité, instead of the Kusama Dots. Due to launch in March. I don't know the price but the first set were $365 each. You can read more (and see an image of the Kusama decorations for the Louis Vuitton flagship store) at Vogue.

The daily lemming

Happily for me, I do not love this bottle in the slightest, but perhaps it is a lemming of yours? From Louis Vuitton, Symphony in the Murano Art Edition of Frank Gehry's design for the brand's Les Extraits collection: "Elevating fragrance to art, the new bottle is created in collaboration with legendary architect Frank Gehry and Glass Master Simone Cenedese. A remarkable transformation of Gehry’s design for the iconic Les Extraits Collection, each limited-edition is as unique as nature itself, resembling a blooming flower that poetically embodies his trademark free-flowing, yet sculptural forms." 40 were made, I do not know the cost. (Bear in mind that the "regular" bottle of Symphony is $530.)

A gift we must preserve and take care of

Rose. Because it was the perfume my mother wore. She applied rose water on my face every morning until I was about 10 years old. She just turned 90. I consider all of the notes coming from nature as a gift we must preserve and take care of, because they really are emotional and linked to our history. Immediately when we’re smelling something, we’re connected to our memories of childhood. The smell of fruit like peach, banana, or coconut influences our mood and makes us happier.
