‘The above issue of the new trend of buying empty premium containers is just one layer of many around the potential detrimental impact of social media exposure, when the viewer is not questioning the authenticity of what they are seeing.’

Mix the whiskey and vanilla with the muscovado and condensed milk, slowly add to the cream with the mixer running on a low speed until thoroughly combined. 

Le Monde sur Mesure is a bespoke experience where VIP clients are invited around the world (on Morreale Paris’ dime) to participate in the process—selecting their bottle style, favorite additives and witnessing its manufacture first hand. Two custom bottles are already in the pipeline—one purchased by a Saudi royal, the other destined for the private jet-Brinks truck treatment in Los Angeles’ most extraordinary estates.

Peterson is referring to the spa-like section of the boutique where fans of True Botanicals can indulge in a 50-minute custom facial. The team’s expert estheticians will access the skin and focus the facial on areas of concern. “You can pick two conditions you’d like to address,” Peterson explains. “You can say acne and hyper-pigmentation. Or you could say rosacea and dryness, and then the facial will be tailored to those objectives. It’s very personalized. In that way, we’re calling it a skin clinic, instead of a spa. We’re about balancing the ecosystem of people’s skins and solving problems.” After the facial, guests are encouraged to purchase (face oil, cleanser, cellular repair serum, toners, mists, etc.) the products that are most effective for their skin type.

If you cut this you’d get a clear glitter.” The bulk of Glitterex glitter is made from plastic, though some varieties come from other sources, like aluminum. Clear glitter looks like tiny pieces of a dead jellyfish. “Then,” he said, “we go into the next iteration of a substrate, where the clear film is metalized.” He picked up a shining silver strip of material. “Potato chips bags start with the same polyester film; it’s metalized with aluminum.”

Touted as the “Absolute Royal Fragrance,” Le Monde sur Mesure is a extraordinary work of art, a handcrafted conversation piece to be secured, displayed and admired in the tradition of a rare Monet, Picasso or imperial Fabergé egg—only more savory. Like Carl Fabergé’s jeweled Easter egg gifts for the families of Russian Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II, Le Monde sur Mesure is inspired by and designed for royalty.

Jimmy Choo’s Flash eau de parfum blends sparkling notes of pink pepper, tangerine and strawberry with white flowers and tuberose. The purple glass bottle is stunning and we love the perfume’s new price of £23, too. Down from £46, a £23 saving is nothing to be sniffed at.
