Donatella, Our Lady of Perfumed Mercy,1 has apparently ignored the debut of Dario Vitale as the new creative director at Versace, opting to hang out with Anna Wintour instead. We still don’t know her long term plans, but she’ll be honored with the Positive Change Award from CFDA next month, and meanwhile she’s ready to hear the confessions of her flock.
Note that we will no longer have the voting poll to report how many bottles you bought. Tell us about your purchases for the third quarter (July, August and September) of 2025 in the comments. You can just tell us the number of bottles, or you can list your acquisitions, whatever you like.
As always, we don’t include samples or gifts, and you can count miniatures, decants and bottle-splits howsoever you like (I usually count them as half bottles). Samples don’t generally count at all, even though some of us spend considerable sums obtaining them.
