A project

Posted by on 1 Comment

The supermodel [Kendall Jenner] was first seen with [Ben] Gorham back in September, when the two checked out a bookstore in West Hollywood, sparking dating rumors. While neither party has confirmed a budding romance, they were later photographed together on two other occasions, with yesterday’s day date being their fourth public outing (that we know of).

Some have also speculated that the pair may just been working together on a project for Gorham’s beloved candle and fragrance brand, Byredo, as Jenner has always been a home decor feen.

Toot my own horn

Not to toot my own horn, but my niche fragrance collection is extensive.

The notes of his perfume

Posted by on 4 Comments

Seven years ago, around this time of year, in a bar in Madrid with brick walls and velvet sofas, I discovered the perfume that would end up being my signature scent for almost a decade. It was by chance that a friend of a friend came to say hello to the table and introduced himself to me. I don’t remember his name, nor his face, but today I could list from memory the notes of his perfume, which shortly after would also end up being mine: myrrh, myrtle, oregano, rockrose, pine, laurel, thyme and rosemary—cocktailed into Diptyque L’Eau Trois.

A sex recession

Posted by on Leave a Comment

We’re in a sex recession. According to the Institute for Family Studies, the number of Americans engaging in sex weekly has dropped to record lows with fewer than half of those surveyed — 1,000 men and women — getting it on on a regular basis (but don’t tell that to gay men). Olfactorily speaking, however, people have been indulging their inner freak with perfumes meant to imitate the primal, filthy scent of sex, and it’s more apparent than ever when we look at some of this year’s fragrance drops.
