Tokyo Le Labo Store in Ginza
Le Labo: cosplaying as a neglected bathroom since 2006. The $500 price tag of a city exclusive is justified when you take into account that they have to intentionally destroy certain subway tiles by hand to make them fit the … Continue reading
Perfume Empty: Fidji edt
I’m wearing a near-empty bottle of Fidji today, a perfume that reminds me of L’Heure Bleue, which reminds me of 2020 when I started exploring some classic perfumes. As much as signature scents are cool, the best thing about having … Continue reading
