From high-performance products to therapeutic sanctuaries
Words by KELLY ATTERTON and KERSTIN CZARRA
Saddle Up
When GALERIE HALF founder Cameron Smith dreams up thoughtful interiors, the warm glow and rich scents of London-based PERFUMER H candles are often in the background. Smith and Perfumer H’s Lyn Harris have now fused their creativity for a new range of fragrances. Smith challenged Harris to dream up a bespoke fragrance, and the result is SADDLE, inspired by the tactility and warmth of worn saddle leather, available as a candle, a room spray, and eau de parfum. To celebrate, Perfumer H is mounting its first U.S. pop-up at Galerie Half, opening December 7. In addition to the SADDLE fragrance family, the pop-up will offer a range of Perfumer H personal and home fragrances. 6911 Melrose Ave., L.A., 323-424-3866; galeriehalf.com. K.C.

Makeup à la Mode
Celine has at last entered the world of beauty with CELINE BEAUTÉ, which feels as iconic as the fashion house itself. Creative director Hedi Slimane’s vision is clear: beauty as luxury, distilled in perfectly crafted, couture-worthy objects. At the heart of the collection is Le Rouge Celine, a lipstick line with an initial offering of the deep red Rouge Triomphe. The full line will launch in January 2025 with 15 satin-finish colors, and each season will reveal new collections, including lip balms, mascaras, eyeliners and eye pencils, loose powder, blush, and nail polish. It will be well worth the wait. celine.com. K.A.
