Although the digital age has ushered in a new wave of convenient online shopping, a few luxury products still have to be experienced in person to truly appreciate. For far too long, fragrance shopping was confined to these outdated notions, forcing people to sojourn to their local shops and pick through dozens of products designed to appeal to the broadest number of consumers.
However, the forward-thinking people at Commodity Goods had the vision to provide their customers a unique perfume-purchasing experience by marrying the notions of creatively focused products with the all-around ease of buying online. Their premium scents combine a legacy of French fragrance heritage with the contemporary sensibility of the modern day, with such perfumes as Rain, Mimosa and Pinot for ladies, and Whiskey, Cane and Oak for gentleman.

I embarked on my maiden journey to the Caribbean’s premier culinary event this past January, and it’s safe to say it won’t be my last. Set to enter its eighth year, the annual epicurean celebration is co-hosted by The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman and French chef Eric Ripert, whose flagship New York City restaurant, Le Bernardin, holds three Michelin stars. Each incarnation of the event brings world-famous chefs and wine and spirits experts together to contribute to island- and trends-inspired discussions, demonstrations and tastings. Last year’s extravaganza featured such luminaries as Anthony Bourdain, José Andrés and Rick Bayless, along with Daniel Boulud, Daniel Humm, Martin Picard and award-winning chefs from The Ritz-Carlton properties worldwide. All provided a source of constant (not to mention mouthwatering) entertainment in one of the most beautiful settings in the Caribbean.
