The partnership between By Kilian fragrances and Fleur Du Mal lingerie gets us to a glamorous level with their new line of scented lingerie. Respective brand founders Kilian Hennessy and Jennifer Zuccarini have joined forces ahead of the holiday season to create a range of undergarments, robes, night sets, and even lace cuffs ($68 to $595), all infused with one of Kilian’s most-loved fragrances.

“There’s something intriguing and intimate about fragrance and lingerie that I’ve always wanted to explore,” Zuccarini says. “With this collection, we’ve been able to add an element of sensuality that enhances the experience of intimacy.”

So, what makes these pieces different from simply misting your panties with your favorite fragrance?  The lace of each item is actually infused with fragrance enclosed in gel micro-capsules, which are designed to last anywhere from 4 to 5 washes.

The scent in question? Kilian’s Love, Don’t Be Shy ($260; net-a-porter.com), which is a sweet, sensual mix of honeysuckle, caramelized sugar, jasmine, bergamot, and vanilla that plays well with the chemistry of your skin.

I wish you a lovely rest of the week! Yours, Fran

BLOWOUT AND INHALE

This design aims to help you smell as delicious as you’ll look after using it! It’s called the Delicious Dryer and while it’s colored like cotton candy, you shouldn’t try tasting it.

You can, however, fill it with a scent cartridge of your choice! As you blow-dry your hair, it will lightly disperse your favorite scent, leaving you feeling fresh and clean!

You can refill easily when you consume all the essences or want to change into a different scent.

Designer: Ian Bok

Those are the different scent option:

New innovations blowing our minds!!! I like! Yours, Fran

Switzerland-based perfumer Andy Tauer has launched three room perfumes, which can also perfume your skin and fabrics.

Tauer says, “The room fragrances are rich in naturals, and are micro encapsulated in a carrier, making them last. And because they are water based: they are safe to use, too.”

He adds “the sprayer is simply amazing. This is actually pretty hightech. It even sprays upside down!”

Cheesy stories…

I lately noticed a lot of dairy product claims on the beauty shelfs. Things you would not expect in your facial cream!

For instance, Tony Moly’s Wonder Cheese firming cream contains extracts from Gruyere & milk protein.

The Face Shop has launcheed a “Fresh Milk” cream.

Or how would you like oats on your skin? South Korean beauty care company Missha dared to do it!

Do you see what i mean? Yours, Fran

Here’s an interesting set of masks from South Korean Tony Moly. It’s a 5 days project to beautiful skin, with 5 different masks.

I can imagine all different kinds of applications for these weekday projects… such as home fragrances or hair care etc., where you have different products for each day!

Nice concept! Yours, Fran
