I just spotted new additions at the Aus Liebe Zum Duft online shop - perfumes by Gianni Campagna, a famous Italian tailor. The line features the following perfumes: Bergamotto, Galsomino, Neroli, Quaeri, Scilla Cariddi, and Vento Canale. Try as I might, I wasn’t able to translate them all (any readers that speak Italian are welcome to do that in comments). I wasn’t able to find more information other than they’re unisex scents. It also appears they come in really funky-looking bottles, and I can’t figure out how they work. Hmm.

Spotted on Osmoz, Rose Divine by Isabel Derroisné, a branch of Yves Rocher. A new perfume created by Celine Ellena, the nose behind The Different Company Jasmin de Nuit and Sel de Vetiver. Rose Divine features the notes of rose macaroon, rose, sandalwood, and musk. It’s said to contain 1% of rose absolute. Rose Divine is described as a sensual gourmand rose with silky, velvety tones. For more information, go to Isabel Derroisne online. I must say I’m very intrigued by the juice, and just look at that bottle! Simply stunning!

Acqua di Parma cube candles spotted at Neiman Marcus online store. Red - spice; black - amber; white - gardenia; yellow - citrus. I haven’t had a chance to smell them yet but they sure look intriguing, especially the spice and the amber ones.

Today I’m wearing Bois D’Argent cologne. The cologne is part of the trio (Cologne Blanche and Eau Noire being the other two) created by Hedi Slimane, a fashion designer for Christian Dior. It features the notes of iris, incense, myrrh, honey, and leather - exactly the kind of notes I adore in perfume. On my skin, this takes on a dusty, hazy quality. Incense and myrrh are not jarring, honey is not syrupy, and leather is not abrasive. It’s a subdued composition, with notes blended together harmoniously. When I wear it, I feel calm, peaceful, and poised.
Bois D’Argent can be purchased from Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Eluxury.
