Dior La Collection Privée · Eden-Roc Eau de Parfum
The latest addition to Dior’s Collection Privée range, Eden-Roc draws inspiration from the French Riviera’s legendary luxury Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. Aiming to capture the spirit of that Mediterranean paradise, this fragrance is more of an homage than a literal translation — a celebration of sun, elegant lifestyle, and full-on glamour. Oh, and it smells absolutely amazing, I might add.
CHANEL · Factory 5 Collection
To celebrate the 100th birthday of CHANEL’s iconic N° 5 fragrance, the brand created the Factory 5 Collection, a [super] limited edition group of 17 products, all housed in unexpected packaging. With a wink towards Andy Warhol’s famous “factory” and his artful immortalization of everyday objects (his Campbell’s Soup Can art instantly comes to mind), CHANEL adapted that concept with this collection, showing that N° 5 can transform even the ordinary.
Issey Miyake · A Drop d’Issey Eau de Parfum
Last week I was invited to a virtual event for the launch of the latest by Issey Miyake, A Drop d’Issey Eau de Parfum, where I got to learn firsthand what drove the creation behind this new scent from both the perfumer behind the fragrance, as well as the bottle’s designer. What I never expected, however, was exactly how much I’d fall in love with this scent … and no lie, but I’ve literally been wearing it every single day.
New Guerlain fragrances: Aqua Allegoria Nettare di Sole & Flora Salvaggia
Guerlain has just added two new fragrances to the Aqua Allegoria range: Nettare di Sole and Flora Salvaggia, and deliciously evocative names aside, both are just so perfect for summer. Actually, both are perfect any time of year — we don’t need a specific season to enjoy wearing fragrance, now do we?
Gucci · The Alchemist’s Garden 1921 Eau de Parfum
The House of Gucci celebrates its 100th birthday and to mark the occasion, the brand has created & added a new fragrance to The Alchemist’s Garden range: 1921 Eau de Parfum — “1921” honouring the year of the brand’s birth. With two distinct ingredients hailing from Florence (the city where Gucci was founded) at its core, along with the emblematic green colour of the bottle, these are just some of the exquisite details paying tribute to this iconic Italian treasure.
