The Icons Issue

Color within the lines—or don’t. Choose a scent that demands closeness, a fragrance that only those pressed nose-to-neck will truly experience. Pair it with a cream that leaves your skin soft as velvet, smooth as butter. After all, rules are meant to be broken, and boundaries, blurred. Scents are best shared with those closest to you, and skin? It’s meant to be touched, not just admired from afar. This season, step beyond the lines. Come closer, and feel me against you

Draw The Line

Beauty is an art, and your face is the canvas upon which you imprint your truest desires. Who says we can't add a little more color or a touch of extra volume? Crayons and pencils—our essential tools—are what define this trend, and your lips? Merely a suggestion of where to begin. Drop the stencil and enjoy the freedom of freehanding your perfect kiss.

Come Closer

Some scents are meant for no one but those we invite into the most intimate of our spaces. These aren’t fragrances for fleeting encounters, but for the ones we trust to discover our truest selves—our most vulnerable and sensitive sides. Skin scents are nothing less than a second skin, a scented reflection of who we are, a physical manifestation of our inner persona.

Touch Me

"Touch me, touch me, don’t be sweet. Love me, love me, please retweet." In an era of screens, taps, and virtual connections, we’re drawn back to the primal allure of touch. There’s no substitute for the heat of human connection or the comfort of skin well cared for. Amidst the chaos of life, the softness of a caress reminds us that some desires can only be fulfilled by the human touch.
