Did you know that Coco Chanel tried her hardest to destroy Chanel No. 5 for several years?⁣
⁣
Or that the bottle’s shape was inspired by a whiskey decanter?⁣
⁣
Or even that Chanel No. 5 has the most expensive commercial – ever! ⁣
⁣
What about the most expensive bottle of this iconic perfume? How much does it cost (think four figures!)?⁣
⁣
Click on the link in bio for 11 secrets you still don’t know about Chanel No. 5. What better way to celebrate the icon’s 100th birthday, right?⁣
⁣
And tell me in the comments below… which is YOUR favorite perfume of all time?

Where are you going when the world opens up again?⁣
⁣
Right at the top of my bucket list is Seven Magic Mountains. This showstoppingly colorful installation by Ugo Rondidone sits in the desert some 10 miles out of Las Vegas. 🌵🌵☀️☀️⁣
⁣
Inspired by the totems of cultures past, Seven Magic Mountains are made up of 33 local boulders spray painted in startling Day-Glo colors. Each one weighs between 40 to 56 tons and stands more than 30 feet tall. Which makes each tower more than 730 feet high! 🌈🎨⁣
⁣
The purpose? First, to eternalise the effect of human perseverance on the desert. The same perseverance that built their neighbouring city out of barren landscapes and hostile climates into one of the most vibrant places. ⁣
⁣
Second, these modern totems start conversations about the contrast between nature and artifice. Just like the casinos on the Strip of Las Vegas. 🎰🎰⁣
⁣
And then there is the impermanence… of life, of humanity, of anthropological symbols. Of society itself. The installation, which was 4 years and over $3 million in the making is not permanent. I went when it first popped up in 2017. And now it’s slated to go down by the end of 2021. I hope to visit it at least once again before then!!!!!!!! I mean have you seen the utter gorgeousness? 💃🏻🕺🏽⁣
⁣
What’s the very first place YOU will visit when all this over and we can wander freely again?

Am pretty sure this VIP Mon Amour Palette is what Hemingway meant by Paris is a movable feast. Thank you @byterryofficial for bringing Paris to me, when I am craving the city SO much. Also, I’m sure the colors are great but I’m not smudging this one. It’s just too pretty!!!!!⁣

Tag a friend who loves Paris. And neutral eyeshadows. AND pretty palettes.

What does a croissant themed candle smell like? More specifically, what does @overosefragrances Croissant candle smell like? 🥐🥐🥐🥐⁣
⁣
To me, it’s the smell of the cozy Parisian viennoseries in the small by-lanes that open out on the Seine river. It’s the smell of a golden, buttery, flaky croissant straight out of the oven. You pick it up from the bakery, tucked in a paper envelope, and walk out to the Le Pont Alexandre-III bridge that spans the river from the Left Bank to the Right Bank. From La Rive Gauche to La Rive Droit. From the Paris of Picasso and Matisse to the Paris of Chanel and Dior. 🇫🇷🇫🇷⁣
⁣
There, as you lean against one of the bronze candelabras, you slowly peel back the paper and take that first, all-encompassing bite as the sun starts to spread its rays across this magnificent city. ☀️🌅⁣
⁣
Your nose inhales the aroma of fresh butter, churned to golden perfection and folded into the heady, yeasty dough. Every bite releases a fragrance that cannot be replicated with anything else and you don’t even mind the crumbs falling on your shirt. Life is perfect for the moment. 🥐🥐🥐🥐⁣
⁣
And that’s what the Overose Croissant candle smells like to me. A moment that’s replete with the alchemy of the world’s finest butter and flaky, airy dough, mingling with the inimitable romance of Paris as it comes to life with the first rays of the morning sun. A moment when life is perfect.⁣
⁣
⁣
What’s YOUR perfect moment? ❤️⁣

Begin as you mean to go on… cuddled under a thick quilt, one of my favourite candles keeping me company as I sip on sparkles and dream of all the places I will (hopefully) go soon. How’s your new year going? 🥂✨🌟💫

If you’ve ever been stuck for a gift for someone, all you need to know is their zodiac sign. The time-tested astronomical science of sun signs is a great way of gaining a sneak peek into someone’s personality – and it has yet to fail me. Ever. So, talking perfumes this time ’round, let’s figure out what to gift that Pisces sister-in-law or Gemini co-worker that’s sure to hit the right spot.⁣
⁣
PS: It’s also a great way of exploring your own signature scent.⁣

@ra_shizzle welcome to the crazy Charan family. I have not stopped simultaneously jumping, grinning and crying happy tears since Friday. You not only complete @abhichar… you are also the missing piece of US. You are such a gorgeous, lovely, beautiful person and I could not be happier to share in your forevers (yes, @dhananjaymorarji and I are part of the package deal!). 😬😬😬😬⁣
⁣
@abhichar, she’s truly your lobster! I am so happy that words fail me. And you know, THAT rarely happens. So, to slightly re-quote my favourite author, “… whatever your souls are made of, yours and hers are the same.”⁣
⁣
Just wait till we gang up against you, though – I have been waiting TWO DECADES for that to happen. So, watch out now 😈😈⁣
⁣
Jokes apart, you are the very best brother in the world. And I am missing you soooooooooo much. Till we meet – hopefully soon! - here’s raising the biggest, sparkliest toast to both of you 🥂🥂🍾🍾❤️❤️

Monday work desk situation:⁣
⁣
Fresh flowers: Always. ⁣
⁣
@oneoceanbeauty Blue Light Protection + Hydration Mist: Because blue light skin damage is very, very real. And a mist that packs protection against this particular form of premature ageing with providing deep hydration is a win-win in my book 👩🏻‍💻💧⁣
⁣
@thelordjones Royal Oil: With 1000 mg of broad spectrum CBD, it truly helps my anxiety issues. And no, it doesn’t leave me buzzed or even a little bit high… just calmer, more relaxed, more able to handle the situation (which, today, is 893654837 deadlines all at once).⁣
⁣
@lamer The Hand Treatment: Dry hands are uncomfortable. Sticky, greasy hands make it difficult to work on the computer. Plus, I am paranoid about grease transferring onto my MacBook as it stains the finish and you just never manage to get rid of it! This hand cream is lightweight, easy to absorb and super-hydrating 🙌🏻🙌🏻⁣
⁣
@freshbeauty Hydrating Lip Balms: The only lip balms I end up repurchasing repeatedly because they make my lips feel SO good. And they are delicious (the caramel one is all the taste bud delights of chocolate without the calories!). AND they are the perfect touch-up tint for Zoom calls!⁣

Everything is going nuts but I’m just going to sit here and pretend it’s Christmas and all is well with the world. First up, sorting through Christmas ornaments (too early?). Second, ordering my first apple pie for the season. And third, making it feel like the holidays are literally in the air with Diptyque’s Winter Collection candles.⁣
⁣
I mean, how GORGEOUS are these? Honestly, I think these are the most stunning candles that Diptyque has ever done – and they have done quite a few beauties. ⁣
⁣
The winter collection is all about three marvellous beasts coming to life on a snowy Parisian night and setting off towards the city’s most famous landmarks. ❄️🌨🌨❄️⁣
⁣
There’s the majestic lion in the Tuileries Garden – a bold floral bouquet of rare roses warmed with cinnamon and spices. 🦁🦁🦁🦁⁣
⁣
A mysterious swan spreading its wings over the Buttes-Chaumont Park (this one’s my favorite) – a comforting cocoon of orange, cinnamon, ginger and amber. 🦢🦢🦢🦢⁣
⁣
And the loyal deer leaping through Place Vendôme – sweeping through a glacial forest of fir trees, eucalyptus, rosemary and peppermint. 🦌🦌🦌🦌⁣
⁣
All my memories of Paris, swept into gorgeous artwork by Ugo Gattoni and fragranced by Diptyque. And all the candles are screen printed, so there shall be no peeling away of the artworks (and this is literally art) even if you burn them through the day.⁣
⁣
Which I fully intend, so pardon me while I go and stock up on full size versions! They are limited edition after all… so once they are gone, they are GONE.⁣
⁣
When do YOU start doing the Christmas things? And is it all right to pretend the holidays are coming earlier this year as a form of self preservation?

While everyone has been busy fussing over Gucci’s new bronzing powders, I have been obsessed with their summer capsule collection of nail polishes. 💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼⁣
⁣
There are five in total, each one dedicated to iconic movies and characters from the Hollywood’s golden era. And they make for really happy nails… ! ⁣
⁣
Anyone who knows me wouldn’t be surprised that I rightaway gravitated to the more offbeat colors – Melinda Green and Dorothy Turquoise. And they are soooooooo PRETTY!!!!!! 💚💙💙💚⁣
⁣
The green is not as lime-neon as it looks in the bottle… it’s more of a leafy shade, I would say. But just that much “extra” to make a person look twice. 💚💚⁣
⁣
And the blue is very Breakfast at Tiffanys, so guess it’s going to get a lot of real estate on my nails this season. (Swipe for swatches). 💙💙⁣
⁣
The bottles themselves are pure love, with a 1950s retro vibe that’s luxe in a very minimalistic fashion. It reminds me of the (now vintage) nail polishes that I would steal from my grandmother’s dresser as a kid. And that makes me feel grown up and nostalgic all at once⁣
⁣
But what actually surprised me was the formula itself. Colors are relatively easier to mix up but Gucci has really gone all out on the formulation. Like all ‘polishes that I test, these were applied without any base or top coat and they glided over so smoothly that I don’t think you need any of that stuff at all! Which is a first for me. 💪🏻⁣
⁣
Today is the fourth day of wear and there’s not a single chip even after all the hand washing and sanitisers (swipe to see). Plus, the brush head is wide and squat, which makes it easy to apply the color – a boon, since it’s going to be a while before nail salons become a part of our regular existence again. 😳⁣
⁣
Also, they took about two minutes to air dry – again, without any top coat to help them along!⁣
⁣
I am seriously really very impressed.⁣
⁣
Have you tried anything from @guccibeauty yet? And what’s YOUR nail polish vibe? Bright? Or more understated?⁣

Just. Listen. ⁣

When was the last time you took a break, drew a deep breath and just let yourself listen to the world around you?⁣
⁣
I love this quote by Drew Sirtors because it makes me pause. And listen to the wind. To nature. To the world outside my being. To the voices inside my own head. ⁣

Which is your favorite quote? The one that heals you, inspires you, challenges you? Tell me 👇🏻⁣
