JOYA
Âmes Sœurs Solid Perfume
It is a genuine solid slab of waxy perfume that you can finger up like lip balm and apply to your pulse points. This is made from jojoba oil and carnauba wax hand-mixed with undiluted perfume oil that effuses “orange blossom wrapped in incense, smoke and musk.” That scent profile sounds a tic manlier than “perfume,” but this is indeed for a deserving lady.
What you might enjoy is the craft behind the container: a fine porcelain slip cast made by Sarah Cihat has been glazed and painted with 22-karat gold. The brass lids are cut and hammered by metal smith Michael Miller, with each made a custom fit to the porcelain hulls, which are unique in shape with each firing. More gold on the lid (24-karat). Only fifteen of these are available: five at Henri Bendel on Fifth Avenue in N.Y.C., five online and five more come fall.
Get your hand on one if you must!
