Crabtree & Evelyn is back. So far, there are 2 collections: Crabtree (unisex) and Evelyn Rose (feminine). The new fragrance for Evelyn Rose is Femme de Force: "Our Femme de Force fragrance bottles up the fiery spirit of a rose and detonates attitude with every spray. It doesn't blossom at the top, but instead bursts with lemon, cassis and frankincense. Bold and unapologetic, floral notes come into play at the heart, surrounded by a warming blend of spiced nutmeg and cashmere woods. Our fierce Evelyn Rose fragrance settles to a sensuous base of vetiver and musk, leaving a long-lasting impression as fearless as its wearer." $80 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

I suppose I might be able to make room on my shelf for Eau Triple La Baigneuse, the fragrance perfumer Daniela Andrier created as an interpretation of the Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres painting The Valpinçon Bather, which hangs at The Louvre, who as you may remember asked Buly 1803 to come up with a few fragrances based on their collection. The collection is out now, 8 fragrances, each available in a variety of items including scented postcards, candles, soap sheets, alabasters (I'm still jealous of Jessica's) and spray perfumes. Here's the description for La Baigneuse, which is €125: "Steam rising from marble sluiced with waves of heated water, dampened muslin wraps the shining limbs, delicately soaped; susurrations of the hammam. After bathing, resting on fresh sheets, the skin, still beaded with moisture, is chafed with lavender and orange blossom; now refreshed, its velvety pallor like an iris petal pearled by a mist of incense and musk."

I don't want these particular two fragrances, but I like the idea of the Fragrance Combining Travel Duo from Jo Malone, with 9 ml sprays of Wood Sage & Sea Salt and Peony & Blush Suede, $45 at Sephora. It would be lovely if the whole line was sold in this size.
