The Essentials for a Festive December

Written by Yasmine M

The holiday season is here, and we can’t ignore that we feel a bit more joyful (at least I do). For the December list, I have gathered a few favorites from the fall, but also some news that will embrace our December month. From the perfect holiday scent to hydrating skincare and makeup to help cover our dark circles.


Tom Ford Lost Cherry Eau De Parfum 
The scent of the season is the Lost Cherry from Tom Ford. The luscious cherry-red bottle captures the sweet yet dark fragrance of the cherry. The scent is a blend of exotic black cherry and cherry liqueur touched with teasing almonds giving way to a Turkish rose and jasmine sambac blend that penetrates the senses. The sweetness of the Almond works perfectly with the more deep musky scent of cherry to give it a unique scent to use this winter. It’s a luxurious scent that you will definitely have everyone wondering, what you are wearing. Finally, the base notes of roasted tonka bean, sandalwood, and vetiver provide a warm and sensual embrace. Find it here.
