“Smell Is Our Most Ancient Sense”: The 11 Most Enchanting Perfumes of All Time
When I was in high school, I bought some “love” oil to use in a spell. (I considered myself a baby witch at the time.) With its pungent aroma of jasmine, rose petals, and herbs swimming around in the bottle, this tiny vial of oil was one of my very first magickal tools. That was over 20 years ago, and I still have the bottle on my altar. There’s only a little bit of the oil left, so I’ll open it once in a while just to take a whiff. While it’s not of any practical use to me now, the way that it’s able to transport me back to the time I was 15 almost makes the oil a spell for time travel itself. That, or it just shows how powerful scent is. “Smell is our most ancient sense,” says Marissa Zappas, perfumer and creator of her eponymous fragrance brand. “Perfume—oils, resins...
These Eye Creams Practically Reverse Ageing, Banish Dark Circles and Much More
Eye cream is one of those skincare products most of us still aren’t sure we actually need. While more mature skin can really benefit from an eye cream in order to target fine lines and wrinkles (if that’s what floats your boat), it can feel unnecessary for younger skin types or people who just aren’t fussed about disguising the signs of ageing. So can’t we just use our usual moisturisers all over our faces? Turns out no. “A great eye cream has a formula which is gentle enough for the most delicate skin on our body,” explain VenEffect founders Rebecca and Cecil Booth. The skin around the eyes is particularly sensitive (and some of the thinnest on your face); therefore, it needs a special type of product. Booth recommends an eye treatment that...
The Low-Key Hair Trends Celebrities Are Fully Endorsing
“This is something relaxed and wearable but that also really makes a statement,” explains Jonathan Andrew, hair stylist and Fudge ambassador. “Low-key luxe is a strong look especially during the winter months, as there are so many more events and parties to attend. It makes for a great finish that looks effortless, feels light and deconstructed, yet is cool and on trend.” As for the low-key hair kit essentials: “Everyone should have a good hairspray and texture spray to really hold everything in place, and if you’re going for the more polished looks always have a good serum on hand. It can execute a look perfectly and take it from day-to-night with a texture switch up,” says Andrew. Also, see heated tools like your blow-dryer and curling tong as your best friends. Whether your hair is long...

Banksy Accuses GUESS of Stealing His Artwork
After confirming seven new murals in Ukraine, the anonymous British artist Banksy now takes to Instagram to defend one of his works which he accuses the brand GUESS of helping themselves to without asking.

They’ve helped themselves to my artwork without asking, how can it be wrong for you to do the same to their clothes?” GUESS originally advertised the capsule collection on display as a...

Music Festivals Are Notorious for Inaccessibility—This Organization Is Pushing for Change In 2023
Music festivals are notorious for being inaccessible. People with disabilities working in the music industry have overwhelmingly chose not to disclose their non-visible conditions to their employers for a number of reasons. Event accessibility organization Attitude is Everything (AIE) is working to expel this stigma by partnering with music festival associations to ensure there are more practical measures embedded into their booking and operational processes. As part of a campaign called #FestivalsWithoutBarriers, AIE has reportedly started working with the Association of Independent Festivals (AIF), the Association of Festival Organizers (AFO) and the British Arts Festival Association (BAFA). These organizations’ employees and members are working on measures to establish a bet...
Lindsay Lohan Out of Repose
Why she stopped working, whether it was by choice or by circumstance, is not entirely clear. What is clear is that life largely out of the spotlight has mellowed her. “Whenever you slow down, you realize that every little thing can make you happy in a different way,” Lohan says. She moved to Dubai in 2014, where paparazzi are illegal (“I found it to be a sacred space for me. I could do my own thing, and nobody bothered me.”), and married financier Bader Shammas, whom she calls the love of her life, earlier this year. Though she launched a podcast, The Lohdown With Lindsay Lohan, in April (“It’s refreshing to be the curious one”), we became largely accustomed to our greatest export in repose. But seemingly out of the blue came the 2021 announcement that Lohan would be returning to acti...
