The season of indulgence is here, bringing with it the pleasure of giving, sharing or simply treating ourselves to a few small luxuries.
This year, I have gathered a selection of treasures: some from my own atelier, others chosen for the pleasure they bring to everyday rituals, dressing tables and homes.
Because December is the perfect time to give and receive something chosen simply for the pleasure of it.
For the French Beauty Lover: Les Filles en Rouje La Crème & Violette_FR Bisou Balm Duo
Two additions for the dressing table. I have been using La Crème for a few weeks and personally find that it works particularly well under makeup; I also love its delicate rose fragrance. For the Bisou Balm Duo, I would choose Chocolat and Mon Chéri — exactly the sort of shades I want at this time of year.
For the Party Season: Biologique Recherche Patchs Défatigants
A small present for the days after Christmas dinners, late nights and too little sleep.
For the Sweet Tooth: Marchesi 1824 Christmas Pralines
A box of pralines is one of those Christmas pleasures that works equally well as a gift, something to share, or something to keep for yourself. Marchesi is part of my own Christmas tradition, which makes these an easy choice for this year’s selection.
For Her Boudoir: Sophie Bille Brahe Velvet Lily Rouge
A pink velvet jewellery box with a tassel feels perfectly at home on a dressing table or bedside table, keeping a few everyday essentials close at hand.
For the Homebody: Zara Home Caramel Popcorn Diffuser
Something sweet without being edible. I like home fragrance particularly during the holidays, when spending more time indoors becomes part of the pleasure of the season.
For the Fashion Lover: Prada Wish Silk Duchesse Pouch
A pink silk pouch is exactly the sort of thing I would choose when I want a gift to feel luxurious, feminine and special.
For the Art Lover: Powder Blue Pompon by Madame Dabi
Art is one of the few gifts that can become part of someone’s home for years. Powder Blue Pompon brings the fashion, femininity and decorative spirit of Madame Dabi into the room.
From my atelier to your Christmas tree, a little beauty, pleasure and decadence for the season.
