♥ Luxury (Tuesday, September 15, 2009 / 12:55 AM)
"Luxury means different things to different people. I don't even like to use the word because it doesn't mean anything anymore. I like to eat scrambled eggs on a nice plate; To me, that's very important. And I'll go out of my way to buy a piece of bread that I like, or to find tomatoes that have flavour. I prefer to have very little, but it has to be exactly the right thing."
- Tomas Maier.
Daphne Guinness, London-based glamourpuss, has launched an eponymous new perfume in collaboration with Comme des Garçons. “I’ve been mixing my own fragrances forever,” she says. “This one is a mixture of memories.” The scent is “sultry and mysterious yet serious, straightforward and rather old-fashioned,”a blend of exotic ingredients like bitter orange, incense, saffron, oud, jasmine and her favorite flower — tuberose — which she gathered by the armful when she was growing up. A limited edition of 500 bottles of “Daphne” (US$140) will be available September 18 at Barneys New York and Comme des Garçons boutiques.This looks good to me.
