Aedes de Venustas Signature, Pelargonium and Palissandre D’Or+ 3 You Should be Wearing Draw

An Introvert’s Guide To Surviving New Year’s Eve + a 2022 draw
This year has been various shades of bad, for all of us: the on and off lockdowns, the chaos and uncertainty, the changes – outside and inside, the time-compressed and dragged between four walls – well, in these conditions, even an introvert needs to appeal to some magical thinking and wish for some kind of rite of passage into a better new year. Five fragrances and outfits to wear even if you are staying home

Aedes de Venustas Encens Japonais Review (Bertrand Duchaufour) 2021+ Burning Candles at Both Ends Draw
Aedes de Venustas Encens Japonais is as cozy and lovely as the golden sparkle of Christmas lights. As the fire logs glow into embers, night wanes into morning, the aromas of fruit and flowers, wood and incense, leather and coffee, dance in the air. My heart feels home.
Memo Paris Siwa Winner
As I go back outside into the cold, I notice a little bit more pep in my step. The air doesn’t seem so menacing now. Just like the Siwa Oasis that provides sanctuary and restoration to continue on through that stark desert, I will make it through winter (and maybe even like it!) with the warm embrace of Memo Paris Siwa.
