Houston pick ups

So this past week I had some travel to Houston where I had a fun assignment to photograph the Charlie XCX concert and then photograph an actress / producer for her branding and for some publications. It was a fun couple of days and super exhausting at the same time.

But I found myself with some downtime and got to go to my favorite places in Houston including Nordstrom's in the Galleria. They have a very liberal sample policy, and the lady at Hermes counter and I had a lovely conversation while she made me samples of just about everything on the shelf. I already talked about Bel Ami, but she also gave me samples of 24, Fauborg, TDH Intense, TDH Parfum, Barenia EDP, Barenia Pleine Fleur, Jo Malone Orange Bitters, and Tom Ford Tobacco and Chocolat.

But the big pickup for me was picking up Xerjoff Naxos. I was able to get it for a very big discount and paid less than $150 for the 100mL presentation. It is my very first actual bottle, not a decant, and the luxury of the presentation is quite something to behold. The leather box just exudes luxury, and though it is not the most I have ever paid, it feels like it.

I have a lot to play with.
