✨🦋✨Aurelians will be available for 24 hours starting at 8:00 AM PDT on Tuesday, July 9 and ending at 7:59 AM PDT on Wednesday, July 10. The edition is limited by the number of prints sold during those 24 hours and never reprinted.⠀ ⠀ Just in time for butterfly season, Aurelians is now available as a signed and numbered time-limited edition of giclée prints. The term Aurelian refers to someone who is interested in butterflies. It also refers to Aurelian, the Roman Emperor from 270 - 275 AD, who ascended to the throne through the military from humble beginnings. Therefore, the use of the term may come from the idea that great things can emerge from lowly or modest sources, like how the butterfly emerges from a chrysalis after beginning life as a caterpillar. The etymology of Aurelian is also related to aureolus, which means golden, or golden in nature. So, the three young girls in Aurelians are surrounded by a yellow  summer sky punctuated by golden daytime stars. They chase butterflies as part of a childhood ritual, the summers fleeting and fading away as they transform into adults. In fact, I remember that there used to be many more insects around when I was a child growing up and playing in the woods. Insects would constantly invade the house and backyard, and the spring and summer would bring swarms of fireflies and bees. Now, I don’t see as many bugs around. So it comes as no surprise that a recent report says that 40% of the world’s population of insects are in decline. However, Los Angeles recently experienced an unusually massive butterfly migration due to the heavy rains. Swarms of butterflies flew through Los Angeles and over the freeways as they journeyed up to northern California. This particular species of butterfly was called the Painted Lady, and I thought of the Aurelians, trying to capture the butterflies in the ephemeral moments of their youth.

. ＿四款只有在旅行時會遇到的菜，全部化作香氣 . 又到了三宅一生推限量版的夏季時節，有別以往，今年非常有種一口氣推出四款夏香，由色彩設計師馬伊華（Mai Hua）跟調香師奧列里恩吉卡德（Aurelian Guichard）聯手創作出兩款男香、兩款女香。 . 我一直都很不看好這類型的夏香的變化性，換湯不換藥，唯一好處是比經典款價位稍低，更好入手。但2019年夏香的瓶身太美，以四色油彩的筆刷繪製，搭配透明瓶身我很難不多看兩眼。 . 一問之下是兩位大師到沖繩旅行的繆思產物，距離太近，讓身為台灣人的我實在無法理解，為何可以大驚小怪，甚至以此為靈感。兩個老外居然將四天旅行裡的四個美好片刻，創作出四款香氛，待我依序開香，探探虛實。（由左至右） . ＿藍瓶：海洋男香 . 這款是激浪香水的延伸，前味的檸檬跟佛手柑涼意十足，鼠尾草跟海鹽香氣很突出，後味的檀香跟麝香對我來說有點猛烈，是PM14:47在熱浪襲來的沙灘有一名著白色三角泳褲，鼠蹊部很飽滿的肌肉老外。 . ＿紅瓶：熱帶花卉女香 . 四款裡面最能代表日本南島的花果香調，多汁爆滿，以黑醋栗開頭，中段木槿花（又名扶桑花）撐起全場，檀香木的溫潤餘韻，讓這款香氣浪漫異常，像PM17:17穿著波西米亞白色洋裝漫步夕陽，強迫友人幫拍奇蹟美照的小麥肌女子。 . ＿綠瓶：潟湖男香 . 一聞就愛上的清新木質調，葡萄柚跟酸橙完美開頭，天竺葵、香柏木對應到後味的雪松與香根草，是AM10:28從海口潟湖迎來的微風。有著小奶狗的長相跟勻稱修長的身形，一頭微亂捲髮，傻笑著問路的背包客能不心動嗎？ . ＿橘瓶：日出女香 . 我這個人很簡單，有椰奶的香水我就先讚，能讓八股到不行又老氣的依蘭依蘭變得亮眼，這款女香是這系列最耐聞的一款。調和茉莉花瓣跟桂花香氣像是暖女笑容，剛出道的蒼井優，AM05:45從海平面折射到臉上的破曉日光。 . 個人勸敗排名是潟湖、日光、熱帶花卉、海洋，以菜市場程度作為判斷標準，越常見的味道放越後面。 . 📷 @godebbie 💧 @isseymiyakeparfums . #psychodoc #精神科觀察日記 #fragrance #isseymiyakeparfums #isseymiyake #summeredition2019 #isseymiyakesummer2019 #三宅一生 #三宅一生夏香 #潟湖男香 #日出女香 #海洋男香 #熱帶花卉女香 #開香文 #男子選物
