Pre-Order Mandy Aftel's New Book The Museum of Scent: Exploring the Curious and Wondrous World of Fragrance

(Affiliate Links)

Mandy Aftel's new book The Museum of Scent is coming out in October, but it is available to pre-order now on Amazon [here]. It is a gateway to a lost world of plants and scent that stretches back to the beginnings of human culture, intertwined with medicine and magic, sexuality and spirituality. Full of gorgeous photos, botanical paintings, and a scented bookmark! Published by the amazing Abbeville Press.

About Mandy Aftel,

Breathe in the natural and cultural history of scent with this richly illustrated book inspired by the Aftel Archive of Curious Scents.

Mandy Aftel is one of the world’s leading bespoke perfumers, with a clientele ranging from the singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen to Sir Jony Ive, the former chief design officer of Apple. Eschewing the synthetic molecules that dominate commercial perfumes, Aftel creates her complex and subtle fragrances using only natural essences. For her, each of these essences is a gateway to a lost world of scent, stretching back to the beginnings of human civilization and intertwined with the history of medicine, cuisine, adornment, sexuality, and spirituality. In 2017, Aftel opened a one-room museum―the Aftel Archive of Curious Scents―in her backyard in Berkeley, California, to help a modern audience rediscover the enchantment of this lost world. Her museum has attracted thousands of enthusiastic visitors and has been featured in the New York Times, Vogue, Goop, O: The Oprah Magazine, and numerous other media outlets.

Now Aftel has created this beautiful book, illustrated with treasures from her museum’s collection, so that readers at home can immerse themselves in the world of scent. She guides us through the different families of botanical fragrances (including flowers, woods, leaves and grasses, and resins), depicting each plant with a hand-colored antique woodcut and revealing its olfactory notes and lore. Special chapters are devoted to the most rare and precious fragrances―such as ambergris, formed of a rare secretion of the sperm whale―and to antique essential oil bottles, handwritten recipe books, and other evocative artifacts. The Museum of Scent, which includes a bookmark subtly scented with a natural essence, invites us on a sensuous, imaginative journey.

Paul & Joe Moisturizing Foundation Primer in 01

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Paul & Joe Moisturizing Foundation Primer is a botanical-rich moisturizing primer that locks in hydration and leaves skin comfortable, soft, smooth and supple all day long. It offers lightweight, and sheer, coverage coupled with a  gorgeous luminous glow. It evens skin tone and extends the life of your foundations and tinted moisturizers. Shade 01, which is featured here, is intended for fair complexions with pink undertones. It offers very sheer coverage, and once blended it disappears– therefore it will not alter the color of your foundation. It has no detectable scent, even though the ingredients list fragrance.

According to Paul & Joe,

Paul & Joe Beauté Moisturizing Foundation Primer does more than just prep skin for makeup application. Its superior formulation corrects complexion for clear, naturally radiant skin. Featuring the same loved texture and finish of past Paul & Joe primers, the Moisturizing Foundation Primer S touts a higher concentration of orange flower water to condition skin, as well as two additional types of sodium hyaluronate. 

This all amounts to superior hydration for dry skin and balanced moisture retention for oily skin.

With three universal shades to choose from, this primer is suited to correct any skin care concerns and enhance overall skin tone.

Formulated with five natural plant extracts, three types of hyaluronic acid, spherical powder and various oils, this primer not only conditions, it firmly clings to the skin and foundation, absorbs excessive sebum, prevents makeup from turning dull, and provides gentle coverage that lasts all day for radiant looking skin.

Directions: Before applying foundation, take the desired amount (about 1 pump) onto the palm and spread evenly over the entire face. Clean the dispenser nozzle after each use and cap firmly.

Select Ingredients and Benefits:

• Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid – moisturizer, promotes moisture retention.
• Jojoba Oil – emollient, rich in vitamins E and B.
• Orange Flower Water – moisturizer.
• Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate – moisturizer, promotes moisture retention.
• Sodium Hyaluronate – moisturizer, promotes moisture retention.
• White Lily Extract – moisturizer, prevents irritation.

Full Ingredients:

Shade 01:

Top to Bottom: Unblended and gently blended

Available Shades:

Overall Assessment: This is a really lovely primer that moisturizes the skin– and offers it a beautiful luminosity– while it increases the longevity of foundations and tinted moisturizers. It is truly obsession-worthy , and it feels wonderful on the skin.

Empties Galore in May 2023

 

Press Sample & Purchased (Affiliate Links)

It is hard to make sense of just how fast the month of May flew by, and I managed to use a good many products. I finished up 10 products, and while most of them were quite well-used, it was quite satisfying recycling those empty containers, nonetheless.

Erno Laszlo White Marble Dual Phase Vitamin C Peel ($128.00 (Step 1 Size: 50mL / 1.7 fl.oz. Step 2 Size: 20mL / 0.7 fl.oz.) from Erno Laszlo, Nordstrom, Revolve and Harrods): this is a gentle, and yet very effective, 2- part peel that exfoliates dead skin cells effortlessly, but without irritating the skin. This clarifying peel lightens hyperpigmentation through the inclusion of ingredients such as Vitamin C, and therefore it brightens the skin, and leaves it luminous. One of the features that makes this at-home-peel so wonderful to use is the fact that is easy to use, and it doesn't take a long time to do. It delivers real tangible results, and I noticed the difference after a single use. Simply apply the Step 1 orange colored, and citrus scented, scrub to the skin and gently massage it into the skin for about 3 minutes, then add a full dropper the the Step 2 liquid activator to your skin and leave it on for about a minute. Rinse thoroughly, and say hello to soft, smooth, supple, exfoliated and luminous skin. After using it for about a month (once a week), I noticed that a small area of hyperpigmentation (from sun damage) was beginning to fade ever so slightly. I look forward to seeing how much it fades after a few more months of use. Purchase Again? Without question, this is one of the finest products that I have ever used from Erno Laszlo.

Derma E Essentials Microdermabrasion Scrub ($32.50 for 2 oz. from derma e and Ulta): is a wonderfully effective facial scrub. This exfoliator features tiny, and densely populated, exfoliating particles suspended in a creamy base that has enough grit to sweep away dead skin cells effortlessly. The formula is gentle,  effective and non-stripping. Skin is left soft, silky smooth, supple and refreshed. It is a very concentrated formula– so this 2 oz. jar should last a long time unless you are using it on your face and body. Derma e suggests that it can be used on your hands, elbows, heels, knees– or anywhere you need to exfoliate rough skin, and I definitely agree that it is quite effective on rough skin in those regions as well. Purchase Again? At some point, but I have other face scrubs to use up first.

Rituals Zensation Organic Rice Milk & Cherry Blossom Foaming Shower Oil (discontinued scent): You simply apply a small amount of the shower oil to your skin and as soon as it has contact with water it emulsifies and turns from an oil consistency to a thin milky emulsion that effectively cleans the skin, and leaves it delectably soft smooth and moisturized. The scent is delightful and uplifting, but not  too sweet. While the scent is lovely it does not linger since it is, for the most part, washed away. Purchase Again? I just opened my last bottle of this marvelous scent!

Spongellé Let's Celebrate Butterfly Holiday Gift Set (on Sale for $6.00 each Spongellé): The delectable French Mimosa Body Wash Infused Buffer and Peace Sugar & Sea Salt Body Wash Infused Buffer were delightful to use. Their scents were hypnotic and otherworldly, and I absolutely love everything about the smell and its ability to thoroughly clean and exfoliate the skin. Purchase Again? I have more to use before I repurchase, but I absolutely covet their products.

Giovanni 2chic Pineapple & Ginger Ultra-Revive Conditioner ($9.99 each for 8.5 oz. from Giovanni Cosmetics and Whole Foods): If you have dry, unruly hair, or naturally curly hair that can be both dry and unruly, then Giovanni Pineapple and Ginger Ultra Revive Shampoo and Conditioner are worthy of your consideration. Both infuse hair with vital moisture, leave hair soft and silky, and do an impressive job fighting frizz and flyaways. The Sodium Lauryl and Laureth Sulfate-Free formula is gentle on the hair, it's color-safe, and it never strips or traumatizes locks. Hair is left smooth, manageable, lustrous and healthy. The aroma is best described as a delectable pineapple that lingers for a short period of time before fading away, and therefore it will not interfere with any fragrances that you might ordinarily wear. Purchase Again? Probably at some point, but I am currently swimming in conditioners that I need to use first.

LAVANILA The Healthy Deodorant ($14.00 for 1.7 oz. from LAVANILA, and Ulta): Though I have occasionally used mainstream deodorants, I do prefer to avoid the chemicals. LAVANILA makes wonderful healthy deodorants that are effective and smell wonderful (though they also make an unscented variant for sensitive skin). Their Vanilla Grapefruit scent is probably my favorite because it smells utterly scrumptious, and offers long-lasting protection. This month, I managed to use up 3 of their deodorants, but they were all nearly empty, and between the three deodorants I had a total of about 2 weeks worth left to use. Purchase Again? Without question, they make one of the best natural deodorant formulas that I have ever used.

Spongellé Daily Dose Hand Cream in Coconut Verbena ($10.00 for 7 sachets from Spongellé): is a convenient and travel-friendly way to carry hand cream. Spongellé Hand Creams offer dry hands and cuticles serious hydration. They feature ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter, Argan Oil and Macademia Seed Oil that deeply moisturize and heal chapped hands, and the Hyaluronic Acid retains moisture and plumps fine lines. After using their hand creams, my poor chapped hands have been soft, smooth, nourished, hydrated and luminous! The Coconut Verbena scent is refreshing and intoxicatingly beautiful, and it embodies a warm summer breeze. Purchase Again? I have some of their other hand creams to use up first, but this is perfection for travel!

Overall Assessment: I am pleased that I managed to finish up 10 products this month, and hope that I can do that well in June. What did you use up, toss out, give away or return in May? Did you discover any real gems, or were you truly disappointed by anything that you used?
