Full Rose

Imagine the smell of a fresh, blooming rose on a dewy morning. That’s the fresh, aromatic, floral scent of The Body Shop’s new Full Rose Eau de Parfum. The smooth rose absolute represents the sweet-smelling petals, geranium leaf embodies the crisp, green leaves of the rose bush, and spicy, aromatic cardamom symbolizes the spiky thorns. Made with 90% ingredients of natural origin, this fragrance is crafted with natural rose absolute, extracted from roses grown in Grasse, France. Responsibly cultivated and farmed, these flowers are traditionally harvested in May, when they’re hand-picked at dawn by experienced pickers. They’re processed later the very same day to preserve their freshness, creating a rose absolute of the highest quality.

Full Ylang Ylang

Full Ylang Ylang is a spicy, white floral fragrance, crafted with radiantly floral ylang ylang essential oil, representing the plant’s smooth, floral petals. This is blended with fragrant black pepper to represent the spicy aroma of the plant’s branches, and sweet, creamy vanilla to embody the velvety leaves. The Body Shop uses natural ylang ylang essential oil extracted from the flowers, which are hand-picked on the island of Madagascar. Only expert, local farmers know when the flowers have reached optimum maturity. This is when they’re harvested using traditional farming methods, to supply a fragrant oil of

Surround yourself with the soft, woody scent of the full iris flower. Intensely beautiful iris concrete represents the powdery petals, piney juniper berries embody the aromatic stems, and soft cedar wood symbolizes the woody roots of this new Eau de Parfum from The Body Shop. The natural iris concrete used in this fragrance is one of the rarest raw materials used in perfumery. It’s extracted from iris stems, grown and harvested over three years in the South of France. The Body Shop also uses an upcycled iris ultimate. Processed stems are reused in a second distillation, to extract the remaining scented molecules. This new raw material has its own fragrance character, with hints of juicy raspberry.

The bold orange blossom absolute that defines this Eau de Parfum represents the aromatic petals, while fresh bergamot embodies the juicy fruits. This is blended with the woody fragrance of vetiver, to symbolize the crisp, green leaves. The natural orange blossom absolute used by The Body Shop in this fresh, citrusy fragrance is extracted from orange flower buds, hand-picked in the Nile Region of Egypt. They’re harvested very early in the morning through a traditional method, which involves shaking the branches of the trees with long sticks. This causes the flowers to drop onto carefully placed rugs, where they can easily be collected.

BUILDING: A CARPENTER’S NOTES ON LIFE & THE ART OF GOOD WORK

by Mark Ellison, Non-Fiction

Fourteen Days

by Margaret Atwood, Fiction

For forty years, Mark Ellison has worked in the most beautiful homes you’ve never seen, specializing in rarefied, lavish, and challenging projects for the most demanding of clients. He built a staircase that the architect Santiago Calatrava called a masterpiece. He constructed the sculpted core of Sky House, which Interior Design named “Apartment of the Decade.” His projects have included the homes of David Bowie, Robin Williams, and others whose names he cannot reveal. He is regarded by many as the best carpenter in New York. Blending Ellison’s musings on work and creativity with immersive storytelling and original sketches, photos, and illustrations, Building is a meditation on crafting a life worth living, and a delightful philosophical inquiry beyond the facades that we all live behind.

Set in New York and China over three decades, Paper Names explores what it means to be American from three different perspectives. There’s Tony, a Chinese-born engineer turned Manhattan doorman who immigrated to the United States to give his family a better life. His daughter, Tammy, whom we meet at age nine and follow through adulthood, and who grapples with the expectations of a first-generation American and her own personal desires. Finally, there’s Oliver, a handsome white lawyer with a dark family secret who lives in the building where Tony works. A violent attack causes their lives to intertwine in ways that will change them forever.

A prophecy claims that Psyche, princess of Mycenae, will defeat a monster feared even by the gods. Rebelling against her society’s expectations for women, Psyche spends her youth mastering blade and bow, preparing to meet her destiny. When Psyche angers the love goddess Aphrodite, she sends Eros, god of desire, to deliver a cruel curse. After eons watching humanity twist his gifts, the last thing Eros wants is to become involved in the chaos of the mortal world. But when he pricks himself with the arrow intended for Psyche, Eros finds himself doomed to yearn for a woman who will be torn from him the moment their eyes meet. Thrown together by fate, headstrong Psyche and world-weary Eros will face challenges greater than they could have ever imagined. And as the Trojan War begins and divine powers try to keep them apart, the pair must determine if the curse could become something more . . . before it’s too late.

When the COVID-19 pandemic shuts down Manhattan, the residents of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattan begin gathering together on their rooftop. Slowly, the residents become actual neighbors, establishing a sense of community through shared stories. However, each character is narrated by a different literary voice. Margaret Atwood, Celeste Ng, John Grisham, Dave Eggers, Tommy Orange, Louise Erdrich, and Neil Gaiman are just a few of the major authors of the day contributing to this unique work.
