a Cut contributor and author of the “Good Scents” column.
She spent ten years as executive beauty editor at 'Elle' and five years as beauty director at 'Town & Country.'
During his 18th-century reign, King Louis XV famously demanded that every room in Versailles be perfumed with a different scent. Now, when you can pick up a selection of Quince candles for $24 a pop, this no longer sounds particularly extravagant. We can all live like kings!
