Queen Lia Regina ✦

A good cup requires the right vessel. Bodum or equivalent, glass and steel.

Seasonal arrangement. Something with weight, not grocery store filler.

Epsom or dead sea. Unscented or eucalyptus. For a deliberate evening.

100% mulberry silk. Black or champagne. The kind that stays on.

High-quality. Neutral or warm; amber, oud, sandalwood. Not synthetic.

La Roche-Posay or equivalent. The routine does not pause.

Stone-washed. Eucalyptus or Belgian linen. Queen or standard.

A large format candle. Diptyque, Maison Margiela, or equivalent. The kind that takes weeks to finish.

Black. Lined. The kind worn into winter without thinking about it.

Charmeuse or heavy crepe. Midi length. Black or deep burgundy.

A full bottle. Maison Margiela, Byredo, or equivalent. Not a sample.

A significant gesture. Include a brief note — where you found this, and why. Those who do this are remembered.
