[ VOLUTES by Diptyque ]

One of my favorite presents I got for Christmas is this perfume by diptyque.

I love the warm & deep scent of it.... beautiful!

diptyque - VOLUTES:

"The voyage of your dreams, on board a liner from Marseille to Saigon. A long haul crossing, stopping off at a number of places with magical names, all redolent of adventure and spice. The charm of life on board ship, where time does not exist. The labyrinth of polished passageways and the panelled walls of the lounges, the enigmatic elegant women leaning on the rail on top deck, indulging in the pleasure of Khedive cigarettes. A smell forever imprinted on the memory: Volutes."

The DRIES VAN NOTEN world is expanding his universe.... 

with a perfume: DRIES VAN NOTEN by Frédéric Malle.

The scent is built around natural sandlewood and features citron, guaiac wood, cashmeran, 

tonka bean, vanilla, saffron, jasmine and musk.

The mix sounds very promising and so far I love everything Dries Van Noten created... 

I can't wait to try it!

[ FLORABOTANICA ]

Kristen Stewart is the face for BALENCIAGA's new woman's perfume FLORABOTANICA (due in September). Photographer Steven Meisel captured Kristen in a fantasy garden of prints & collage of flowers, 

wearing a dress from Balenciaga's spring 2008 collection.

Nicolas Ghesquière described the Florabotanica flacon as being like a laboratory bottle into which the striped tube can be dipped to cull the botanical garden’s extract. Similarly, the scent’s invented name is meant to have both a scientific and natural ring.
