For Eilish, the color and shape of the bottle is just as important as the perfume itself. “I must admit that it is a problem for me to judge a fragrance by a small sample. The containers are all the same, tiny bottles with black or white caps… You sniff the contents and, if you like it, order a bottle. But it often happens that the container has a color and shape that has nothing to do with the sensations that the perfume made me feel, and at that moment it becomes impossible for me to wear it, because something is wrong, something is wrong” .
If these thoughts seem a little confusing to you, know that they are not at all. Eilish is a 21-year-old creative phenomenon who has been building her own world for all to see since she was 13 years old. An activity which, besides expressing her vision of reality, her tastes and her talent, leads to the constant maturation of her taste, as a result of which she experiences things, makes them her own or refuses them, always relying on her own compass, despite the incessant rain of external opinions.
At the 2023 Met Gala, Eilish wore a see-through gothic dress by Simone Rocha, which she paired with a braided ponytail, complete with black ribbons and bow hair clips, and some really sultry eye makeup: pure glamour, in short. But after the event? “I went back to the hotel and thought, ‘Get these things away from me! she says. “I wore North Face maxi pants, an oversized zip-up jacket, a flip-up cap, and Jordan sneakers. That’s how I feel on top, strong, powerful … “. Again, people are made up of contradictions. “I try to feel more comfortable when I put on makeup, a lot of makeup…,” she says, emphasizing the effort she puts in to wield the power of an ultra-feminine look. “Of course, I always wear a little make-up, but the face that I see in the mirror, as if it is no longer mine. Maybe I like it, but at the same time it scares me.”
