It’s the first Friday in January. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance to match Very Peri, Pantone’s color of the year for 2022.

Rekindling gratitude for some of the qualities that blue represents complemented by a new perspective that resonates today, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri places the future ahead in a new light. We are living in transformative times. PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri is a symbol of the global zeitgeist of the moment and the transition we are going through.”)
