Instant trend
with Mlle Inwood

Perfume is an indispensable part of many morning routines for both men and women. You get up to start a busy day. Your routine usually consists of these steps: you shower, you get dressed and you perfume yourself...

Perfume is a reflection of a person's character; it is an integral part of a person. I associate many of my loved ones with their perfume. The most fragrant example I can give you is my mother's perfume. She has been wearing CHANEL's perfume Coco since I was little. The brand describes it as 'a lush oriental symphony that gradually reveals its contrasting notes'. I remember the smell that used to perfume the house before I left for school. Today, every time I smell it, even on another person, I think of her and feel reassured.

For me, perfume is a weapon to face my days with confidence. It has become an indispensable part of my day. There is one for every taste with floral, spicy, sweet notes... It enhances each person.

As you may have noticed, the trend is towards tropical prints in both fashion and home decoration. It reminds us of summer and adds exoticism to our daily routine! I dare you to use bright colours and vegetal prints, even in winter.

This style inspired by the Amazonian jungle is no longer exclusively dedicated to light clothing, as there are many tropical printed clothes, accessories and shoes. Palms, flamingos, parrots, pineapples, flowers or other exotic plants... You will be spoilt for choice! I just bought this blouse from the brand Mango, which would be perfect with white pants for a fresh and elegant look. I advise you to balance your outfit with simple, uniform pieces to avoid an "overloaded" effect. 

Looking for travel and exoticism? This month, your interior is taking a holiday look with a new trend : vintage suitcases. 

You can now travel without leaving home! 

Made of cardboard, metal, wood or fabric, you will inevitably find a retro suitcase to decorate your home. Often very aesthetic, trunks can be transformed in the blink of an eye into coffee tables, commodes and even storage cases.

Flowered or coloured, the vintage suitcase is a decorative accessory on its own. You can place it casually on a table or combine it with other trunks for a more country charm result. 

Do you know Merci? This chic and trendy concept store, located in the Marais district, is a real living space dedicated to fashion and the home world. I recently bought a nice red suitcase made of boiled cardboard and steel. Loft and New York spirit assured!
