Show would be around now during a normal fashion week. Any updates on the next menswear show?

Nothing yet. I think Hedi now goes for after fashion week, when the hype has died down. Teen Knight Poem was released on 7 February last year, so it shouldn't be coming around soon. Can't lie, I'm quite excited.

Rimbaud is available in the states at least. Ordered a bottle. Will report back.

RIMBAUD
EAU DE PARFUM 3 OZ

240 USD

A HYPERSENSITIVE PORTRAIT, BOTH INTIMATE AND SYMBOLIC. THE PORTRAIT OF A 17-YEAR-OLD POET THAT HEDI SLIMANE DISCOVERED AS A TEENAGER AND THAT OF AN ENTIRE GENERATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE PHOTOGRAPHED BY THE COUTURIER OVER THE PAST THIRTY YEARS.

AS IF SUSPENDED ON A TAUT AND FRAGILE WIRE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN CHILDHOOD AND ADULTHOOD, THE EFFERVESCENCE OF A NEO-CLASSIC LAVENDER IS TEMPERED BY THE DELICACY OF A POWDERY VEIL OF IRIS.

LAVENDER, NEROLI, ORRIS BUTTER, WHEAT ACCORD, MUSK AND VANILLA NOTES.

Does that sound something like the 2005 Dior Homme?

It does, good call.

I'm slowly getting sucked into the Celine universe. Have become obsessed with the Z trainers (have the white).

Tried Rimbaud today, really liked it. Might be my new favorite

Finally got to try Rimbaud and picked up a bottle.

It opened with a big blast of crisp, clean and sharp lavender without any hints of licorice or anise, which was a plus for me. Iris and vanilla creeped up in about an hour or so while lavender started to fade and mingle with them. It felt dry and warm. 3 hours later, you are left with a thin veil of lavender: almost gone but omnipresent with a base that reminds me of the mix between le peau nue and st germain des pres. It's basically a skin scent at this point.

Overall, it feels more "jersey" than Chanel's Jersey. Quiet, subdued, naive but comfortable.

Cool review. So think it is more of a day fragrance as opposed to night? Good for all year round wear?

Day for sure. Very office-friendly if you are not working remote these days. It could be all year round but I'm not sure if the summer heat will draw out too much sweetness from the vanilla.
