One month with Byredo’s Casablanca Lily
When I made my way to the Byredo store, I fell in love with the fragrance Casablanca Lily. I sprung, against the advice of the sales associate and my own better judgement, to invest in a full bottle immediately.

To my candles, I apologize
You’ve been sitting there, politely in a box, waiting for your moment. You were created to bring beauty to this world, and I’ve kept you hidden, covered, unused.

Coconut Skin by Phlur is my gym bag staple
Coconut Skin by Phlur has been living in my gym bag. The body spray seems like the appropriate staple to get me ready to face the day after my studio classes. Even though there is very clearly coconut in the name, to me this smells more of rich caramel with a floral edge and a…

What if AI could develop your favorite scent?
Regardless of the industry, many of us are focused on the power of artificial intelligence. Our conversations center around how we could be using the tool to become more efficient. Well, one of the least efficient processes that I am engaged in personally is the hunt for my favorite scent. I have spent years, money,…

I can smell who you voted for
I can smell who you voted for. Literally, and I don’t mean that your body chemistry or pheromones help predict your political leanings. I mean that Donald Trump is selling fragrances at $199 a bottle, and some of them are listed as sold out. You can probably count yourself to sleep with all of the…

There’s more to the virality of Baccarat Rouge 540
