Soft, enveloping and comfortable to wear

Posted by Robin on 16 November 2020 Leave a Comment

For Frenesia Pink, I created a musky-fruity eau de parfum with a rose-litchi impression. A drop of jasmine adds an impression of strawberry. For the first chapter, [with] Fendifrenesia Yellow, I wanted a bright leather note impression with no darkness nor dirtiness. A musky-leather eau de parfum with a daring twist of iris oil, which is very soft, enveloping and comfortable to wear.

The daily lemming

Play-Doh's Grown Up Scents pack is back in stock at Amazon, but it does not look like they'd be delivered before December, so be warned. Anyway, six 113g tubs of Play-Doh, in Overpriced Latte (coffee); Mom Jeans (clean denim); Grill King (smoked meats); Dad Sneakers (rubber); Spa Day (floral); and Lord of the Lawn (fresh cut grass). $12.

KFC + Crocs, the movie

This one minute spot is from earlier this year, when KFC did fried chicken scented bucket platform Crocs for New York Fashion Week, and I probably didn't even notice.

KFC + Crocs

Posted by Robin on 25 July 2020 9 Comments

I posted a link to these on Twitter yesterday, but here's a better shot: the KFC fried chicken Crocs, complete with (removable) fried chicken scented "Jibbitz" (those embellishment thingies that look like drumsticks). They go on sale Tuesday at the Crocs site, and are bound to sell out immediately. $59.99, with $3 going to the REACH Educational Grant Program. (via mashed, eater) More scented shoes here, here and here.

A sumptuously fragranced Fendi handbag

Posted by Robin on 4 December 2019 3 Comments

Alas, money can’t buy love. But it can buy a sumptuously fragranced Fendi handbag—a close second, to be sure. In a new collaboration, [perfumer Francis] Kurkdjian has teamed up with the storied Roman luxury house and its creative director, Silvia Venturini Fendi, to infuse the label's famed Baguette (arguably the first true It Bag) with a new scent, FendiFrenesia.
