Yu, by Mane: A $5,000 Fragrance

How much would you pay to smell like rain at any given moment? $5,000? Mane is hoping so, as they've launched their newest fragrance, Yu, with just such a price point.

I don't know that any perfume is worth that much, no matter how good it smells, unless it comes in some kind of jewel-encrusted bottle. But it's been impressing critics, with New York Times fragrance expert Chandler Burr saying "You can smell the money in it."

Personally, I think money smells funny.

Raindrops Sculpture

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Art

At first glance, if I didn't know the name of this sculpture, I don't think "raindrops" would come to mind. But knowing that was the inspiration suddenly I totally see it, and it seems very alive with depth and color. Plus it almost appears to be in motion. The result of a partnership between Jonathan Adler and C. Jeré studio, this newly reissued Raindrops Sculpture is made of antiqued brass, is signed and dated (of course), and measures about 66"x34"x10". $1500

Rain Gauge For The Garden

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Garden

My rain gauge looks vaguely like a piece of lab equipment, shaped like a large test tube and designed to be mounted on fence or other post. This rain gauge is far more elegant than the commonly found industrial designs, with a flaring glass cup atop a tall spike that can easily be slide into the ground in a garden. It would look great with a climbing vine wrapped around the base, or simply amongst tall plants, acting as a functional accent piece. It measures in both milliliters and inches. Price: £43.

Rain Dot Umbrella

April showers bring... the need for a new umbrella. How can you worry about May flowers when your hair is getting wet? Umbrellas are a useful tool that we don't give much thought to until caught in a down-pour and I have never had good luck from the $10 variety peddled by street vendors, no matter that they promise it's a real (insert designer name here). This time, I'm planning in advance. I love this Brick Rain Dot Umbrella from the Seattle company Pare Umbrella. It is 3-feet in diameter when opened and has a gorgeous natural rattan hooked handle. Price: $56.
