The Scented Fan by Ladurée {Fragrant Shopping}

Using a hand-held fan is one of the most elegant graceful gestures one can think of.  Ladurée, a Parisian pastry house and specialist of delicately fragrant macaroons established in 1862 is reviving this refined tradition this summer by proposing a scented fan that will be available from July 1st 2007. It was made fragrant with "delicate and exquisite violet", like their home fragrance Paeva.

Also a reminder that after the lily-of-the-valley macaroon in May, the new seasonal flavor is grenadine for the summer.
