Mandy Aftel is reopening her Aftel Archive of Curious Scents at the end of this month (it's been closed since last March), and she has a fun new product for serious sampling: the AromaCone. "Our ScentCatcher AromaCone is a scent amplifier that acts like a magnifying glass for your nose. This elegant device focuses the aromas under it and creates a denser stream of odor molecules for you to smell. The AromaCone also maintains "nasal distancing" as part of a contact-free smelling experience. It provides a safe separation between you and what you are smelling, and from the other noses that smelled it before you. Inspired by an original suggestion from Becky Saletan." A set of 20 AromaCones goes for $40 at Aftelier.

The collection features six ice creams made with real, fresh fruit, including strawberries, peaches, and blackberries grown just for us." $68 for six pints, plus $13-19 shipping.

So the Chanel Factory 5 collection (remember?) is out, and among the items I did not expect, here we have the No. 5 L'Eau water bottle, which I don't want — or more accurately, would possibly buy if it were $5 or $10 — but maybe you do? "Discover an elegant glass water bottle marked with the same visual identity as the N°5 L’EAU fragrance bottle. Designed to be used wherever you are." $75. Another surprise: black and white Chanel No. 5 decorative tape, $55 for 5 rolls (I can't seem to find out how much tape that gets you, although if you're paying $55 for Chanel No. 5 tape maybe you don't care.)
