Louis Vuitton's First- Ever Unisex Fragrances Will Make You Smell Like Summer

Borrowing from your significant other, be it skincare products (or skincare secrets), hoodies, sweats, and jeans is nothing new. But, if your S.O. has been using up your favorite fragrance with no plans to replace it, Louis Vuitton created just the solution you need.

Inspired by the "cool and effortless spirit" of California, Louis Vuitton's in-house perfumer Jacques Cavalier Belletrud whipped up three different scents that evoke pleasant memories of vacation, from the sun to gardens and the sea. Sun Song, bottled up in a bright yellow glass, blends orange blossom and lemon to create a fresh citrus aroma that unearths the warmth and feel of a bright summer day.

"The enthusiasm of mate to exalt the emotions. The cool freshness of an exotic patio. A breath of leaves defies the heat wave like an enchanted frisson on the skin," the brand describes its Cactus Garden scent. Hidden in this bottle are hints of bergamot orange and lemongrass that transport you to a tropical rainforest with each spritz.

The final scent in the trio is the Afternoon Swim and it's exactly what you'd expect—a sun-soaked, irresistible light scent made of bergamot and mandarin. "I dreamed of creating a perfume with airiness. Locating the sensitive frontier between a pleasant but fleeting summer eau and the permanence of a perfume that expresses itself on the skin over time," Belletrud said in a statement. "Sun Song, Cactus Garden, and Afternoon Swim are the colours of summer and of endless summer nights which they extend because I created them with the same respect as great perfumes, with rare and natural raw materials whose qualities are exceptional. These are perfumes of light, with notes that burst to reveal all their inherent naturalness."

Louis Vuitton teamed up with multimedia artist and filmmaker Alex Israel, who designed artwork each fragrance. Sun Song is given an oversized sunglass lens, which is one of Isreal's trademark designs; a “Desperado” landscape is paired with Cactus Garden and Afternoon Swim is set against a giant wave, all of which are a nod to the cool vibes of California.

Louis Vuitton's trio of unisex fragrances retail for $250 for 100ml and are available now.

Giant Italian-Style Hoagie

Wrap entire hoagie tightly in plastic wrap, then cut crosswise into 4 even sections. (The plastic wrap acts sort of like a girdle, holding in all of the meat, cheese, and veg so that they won't fly out you slice smaller segments. It also acts as insurance in case the parchment paper gets damp.) If you're taking your sandwich out into the world, wrap again in plastic or return to bag or sleeve that bread came in to hold it all together for easy transporting.

Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Microneedling

For those looking to improve the look of scars, boost collagen, or encourage hair growth, microneedling can offer a minimally invasive solution. The practice dates back to 1995, but has gained significant traction in recent years thanks to new technology—and YouTube and Instagram, where the mesmerizing (albeit bloody) process stars in tens of thousands of videos. Here, dermatologist Macrene Alexiades , MD, PhD, who has published extensive research on microneedling, along with fellow Yale clinical professor and dermatologist Mona Gohara , MD demystify the multi-purpose treatment. Microneedling creates microscopic punctures in the skin. Simply put, microneedling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purposes of rejuvenation, explains Macrene. The most popular (and cost effective) microneedling device, known as a dermaroller , is made up of micro-fine needles that range in diameter from 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters. But, if the prospect of multiple needle wounds s...
