Are Scented Accessories the Next Beauty Trend?
It has been the year when suits made a comeback, Harry Styles returned to the limelight, and visual fragrances and scented accessories became the newest trend. While not necessarily a novelty — throughout history, women have stored perfume on-chain flacons and sprayed their accessories — this antique tradition is once again making penetrating the mainstream. From a gilded perfume chain to scented tattoos, brushes, and brooches — we’ve got you covered. Consider these as a gift for the special perfume aficionado or even for yourself. You deserve it.
Mugler perfume brushes are the perfect stocking-stuffer and on-the-go travel gift. The brushes come in three colors (blue, purple, and green) featuring the renowned Angel, Alien, and Aura scents from the designer. The makeup brushes offer a seamless gel application of the scent that settles in on the skin for longevity.
