Unidentified Scented Object

Posted by Robin on 20 October 2017 2 Comments

The vision of Cartier’s in-house fragrance nose Mathilde Laurent, Le Nuage Parfumé - aka the Unidentified Scented Object - is located at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. The scented object is in fact a cloud, a puff of perfume if you will. Inside a glass cube sits a suspended spiral staircase with a floating cloud that hovers elegantly just below the ceiling. It looks abstract on first impression, almost an illusion until closer inspection when the texture of the cloud is clear to see.

— Read more about Cartier's new art installation in Paris at What Is Cartier's Le Nuage Perfume Experience All About? at Vogue UK. The scent in the "cloud", by the way, is L'Envol de Cartier, and Le Nuage Parfumé is open to visitors from today through Monday.

How about a trip to Soho to visit the pop-up St. Ives Mixing Bar? "The first-of-its-kind, this 1800-square-foot store is inspired by the joyful, vibrant energy of nature and St. Ives' key ingredients. It features a mixing bar where guests can choose from more than 50 unique ingredient combinations and desired body lotion richness or facial scrub exfoliation levels. In addition to showcasing many of the St. Ives ingredients people know and love, the St. Ives Mixing Bar will also offer guests the chance to experience over 20 new, on-trend skincare ingredients such as pink lychee, kale, ginger and volcanic sand. All custom face scrubs and body lotions will retail for $12 each." It's open Monday through Saturday from 11-9 and Sunday from 11-8, through July 30 at 577 Broadway (at the corner of Prince).

The odour equivalent of being tone-deaf

Posted by Robin on 21 June 2017 4 Comments

In another space, I close my eyes and it is as if I had stepped inside a quiet Mediterranean church on a July day: I can smell the wood polish, the dried flowers, but also, somehow, the cool of the stone, the soft clunk of the door closing the deep-pile hush that builds over centuries of whispers.

This is a revelation. Whatever the odour equivalent of being tone-deaf is, that’s me.
