Our Le Labo Vanille 44 review: Le Labo City Edition fragrances don’t necessarily smell like their namesake cities: The citrusy Limette, the San Francisco fragrance, smells like Miami, while the Miami fragrance, Tabac 28, smells like the floor of a gym. I love the London fragrance, Poivre 23, but I’m....

Our Diptyque Feu de Bois Diptyque review: A+. Buy it here. Feu de Bois is the best of all the Diptyque candles, and it is the best-ever fall luxury candle. Forget the pumpkin spice latte candles, the pumpkin pie candles, the sweater-weather super-comfy candles: They always get it slightly wrong....

Pickleball is taking over. I played tennis in high school — in a more scattershot but still deeply obsessed way since then — and so fought against it as long as possible, but here’s the thing: It’s too fun. Resistance is futile. When I left grad school for France earlier....

I recently entered a season of life focused on lists of French fashion essentials — and I did not always like what I saw. I have seen more trench coats on these lists than on the streets of Paris. I don’t think that many people are walking around Paris in....

Wondering what time is it in Paris? The answer is: The time comes courtesy of the Time & Date website, which is great. While you’re here, I hope you’ll take a look around this website, which is written by me, a travel writer living between Paris and the U.S. I....
