Lime Heaven

I am rarely impressed by fragrance launches. A particularly tired trick is to serve food "inspired" by the fragrance. Tired unless the fragrance is Jo Malone and the food is by—and served!—Jean-Georges himself. We tasted, we smelled, he presented course after course, we died and we went to heaven. The lime—there were the torn leaves of this lime, the grated rind of that—was really the thing. If you ever want to completely transport yourself (and make yourself smell fantastic instantly) grate a little lime rind and inhale.

No beauty editor who went to this event is ever allowed to complain about the rigors of her job again. This means me.
