Being an Aquarius has its perks — I discovered two indie brands this year that quickly became cult favorites. My top picks include Pearfat Parfum, Clue Perfumery, and Odette Parfum, with two of them based in Chicago.
Recently, Odette and Pearfat launched a "Red Shoes"-inspired perfume, Le Chaussons Rouges, in November, and it’s set to restock soon. It smells like eating cinnamon sticks while painting in your 1st-grade art class, with notes of gingerbread, red paint, dahlia, candied ginger, and saffron. I just can't stop sniffing.
