I popped into Prada the other day–not intending to buy anything of course–but to smell their latest limited edition perfume. In stores for just a few months, Infusion de Tubereuse is hands down my new favorite fragrance. I won’t even try to explain how it smells, but think a fresher, more discrete version of Fracas. The perfume experts say it has notes of Indian tuberose, petitgrain bigarde, blood orange, and dynamone–if that means anything to you. I liked it so much I’m already stressing about what to do when it leaves stores in four months! – L

One of our biggest pet peeves when it comes to bathrooms is product tidiness. We like all makeup, skincare, and hair accessories neatly stored away in bins or organized in the medicine cabinet. However, we’ve come across so many beautifully packaged products lately we’re starting to change our tune. Slowly but surely, we’ve both been sneaking a perfume here, and a face soap there, onto our formerly stark sinks. First it was Shu Uemura’s new limited edition cleansing oils, and then before we knew it, Benefit’s tongue-and-cheek fragrances were standing on our vanities. These days, with all of the pretty packaging and cool new designer collaborations, products are made to make both you and your home look good.
