Most perfumes pull from the same pool of floral notes. There’s rose, jasmine, tuberose, gardenia—you get it. Though master perfumers can make magic with just a handful of familiar notes, they are somewhat limited to the boundaries of convention when creating a new fragrance. Today, that all changes, with the launch of a new brand called Future Society, which asks the question: What if, instead, a perfume could smell like extinct flowers?
Hot Girl Summer 2022 isn't over yet. Heidi Klum is busy living her best life while vacationing at a tropical destination, but she's not too busy to post some head-turning bikini photos to Instagram. A couple days ago, the supermodel shared a picture of herself wearing a white bikini bottom—and nothing else.

L.E.A.F, the annual festival of flowers held in Manhattan, partnered with a series of fashion boutiques this year to mount a vibrant display of diverse florals across the Meatpacking District. The event ran from Friday to Sunday and showcased the work of various floral designers in an effort to honor the resilience and dynamism of New York City. Set up like a local farmers' market, locals and visitors were invited to walk through the district to enjoy the unique arrangements of the different florists from the tristate area.
I was in my ninth grade English class when I watched Romeo + Juliet for the first time. It was the early 2000s: the era of flip phones, AIM, and Myspace.

WARNING: This story contains spoilers from You Season 2. You's second season is replete with plot twists, including a number of murders (obviously), but one shocker we didn't see coming was Joe and Love's impending future as ... first-time parents.
