Beauty Notes

Hello in 2019! The festive season appeared to be very, very fruitful in Santa gifts… here are the two fragrances I’ve completely lost my mind for. Also, it appears I’m a sucker for tonka bean.

Unknown Pleasures by Kerosene / You’re walking down a cold street in England, listening to Joy Division, sipping on a warm cup of London Fog. This fragrance opens up with the smooth sweetness of honey with Earl Grey tea, with a zing of lemon. It dries down to a cozy vanilla, soft tonka bean and waffle cone base, sure to make any gourmand lover smile. Notes? Earl Grey tea, lemon, bergamot, honey, tonka bean, baramel, vanilla and waffle cone.

Tonka 25 by Le Labo / This one is dark. A good, addictive, warm dark, as if the humid summer underwoods, their seeds and resins, were sprinkled with layers of musks and sweetened with drops of vanilla. The perfumer’s notes say orange flower absolute, the unique cedar atlas, styrax resins, absolute tonka and musks… get this one right in here.

The Summer collection of the casual label Rag & Bone from New York is one of these that are always best for… life! What I loved in this season at Rag & Bone was the easiness of all the dressesm jacket and tops… The colours were really light- beautiful shades of blue, pink, violet and orange were seen mixed with classical black and white. And the must-have’s from Rag & Bone are definetely the black and white knitwears and these beach dresses- they looked great on the models! And there is also a small beauty note that will be hit this season…. it’s the orange lips! Yes, all the models had their lips in neon orange colour that looked refreshing and really eye-catchy! Let the Easy-to-go style rule the Summer season!
