Desperate times call for desperate measures

A spot for L’Officine Universelle Buly's new Autocollants Odoriférants pour Masques (scented stickers; around €8 for a pack of 8).

The (almost) daily lemming

From Peeps, Easter grass that smells like marshmallow. C'mon, you know you want some! Per Delish, they're a dollar a bag at Dollar General. (Or maybe you want the Hot Tamales Fierce Cinnamon Peeps, or the Peeps Froot Loop Flavored Chick Pop — basically, 4 chicks on a stick — they're doing for Easter 2021, $2.19 each at Target.)

Lanvin's latest scratch-and-sniff clothing: a t-shirt ($450) and sweatshirt ($590), both in 100% cotton and featuring a visual of an old Cosmétiques Lanvin advert. "The special print gives off a soft floral scent (violet) when rubbed. It can last up to 15 cold hand washes." At Lanvin.

Silk ribbons from Atelier Boivin threaded with scented ceramics from The Different Company. "Our perfumed ribbon is a new way to wear perfume while accessorizing your outfit. For both men and women, to wear as you want, according to your mood or to the occasion: on the wrist, around the neck or even in the hair, do not limit yourself and create your own (perfumed) style! Choose your ribbon, from our selection of 10 styles, and your scented ceramic, available in 3 fragrances. You can, if you want to, add a second ceramic to intensify the sillage of your perfumed ribbon or to create a unique sillage by combining two scents." In Tokyo Bloom, AlSahra or MajaïnaSin, €25 each.

At present, there are just about 7.7 billion people on this planet, and most of them couldn’t fashion you a scratch-n-sniff garment if you paid them. By this measurement, Lanvin comes out ahead. But does it make admirable use of its advantage?

That is one of the thousands of questions the T-shirts inspire.

— Caity Weaver on Lanvin's scratch-n-sniff T-shirts, which sold out before I ever heard about them (from Kelly Red, thank you) or got my hands on the article about them (hat tip to Kevin). Read more in What in the World Is a $590 Scratch-and-Sniff T-shirt Doing in 2020? at The New York Times.
