SCENTS OF LUXURY
The series A Tribute to is a new edition from culti Milano, whose distinctive rattan home diffusers are found in discerning households. A Tribute to Amore is a romantic capsule collection of home diffusers with an enveloping, sensual scent. opening with pink pepper and eucalyptus to reveal a heart of labdanum and tonka beans, it ends with notes of patchouli and benzoin. A Tribute to Amore comes in two sizes - 500ml or 4300ml – and in bottles of white opaque glass with a maple wood cap in the same shade. the bottle, in the iconic round culti shape, is personalised in the centre with the name of the capsule collection, screen-printed in red like a message written in lipstick. A Tribute to Amore will be available worldwide and in all culti Houses from the end of January 2020. culti.com
COLOUR CONFIDENCE
Benjamin Moore has revealed its colour of the Year 2020 as First Light 2102- 70 – a soft, rosy hue. “We selected First Light 2102-70 as our colour of the Year 2020 to represent a new dawn of idealism, design and living,” says Andrea Magno, director of colour Marketing and development at Benjamin Moore. “First Light 2102-70 reflects a new definition of the home – a shift in mindset from the material to satisfying the core needs in life: community, comfort, security, self-expression, authenticity and, ultimately, optimism.” Ten harmonious hues have been selected in the Benjamin Moore colour Trends 2020 palette. “The colour Trends 2020 palette plays an integral role in supporting these core human ideals,” adds Magno. “colour is powerful but highly subjective, especially through the lens of different generations, relationships and moods. But from the saturated to the bright and airy, all are easy to live with and easy to love— whether they stand alone, in a strong pair, or all cohabitate.” benjaminmoore.com
