Hello Dry Downers, Happy holidays! We apologize for the lateness of our gift guide this year — we’ve been traveling and spread hither and yon this season — but to be honest, all the good perfume sales start right after Christmas, so if you are browsing this guide for yourself, you can take some of your leftover cheer and spend it on a little pick-me-up for the new year :) This is pegged to the holidays, but really, perfume is a good gift in any season. We hope this is helpful as you navigate this — often joyful, often fraught — time of year. And if you find yourself feeling lonesome or frustrated or out of sorts this week, perhaps you can spritz yourself with a scent that reminds you that this too shall pass, and a new year is coming, with new possibilities. As always, we are grateful for your readership this year and wish the very best to you and yours.
That Jazmin Saraï set introduced me to Ma're, which has become one of my favorites. Salty sea air and creamy lemon. Yes.
