THE BLANK LIST is back, and this round is all about spring in Australia: ten things from ten different corners of life. The days are warmer, the weekends are filling up and everyone has started wanting something new, from a fragrance with real bite to a spritz you pour straight from the bottle. We have kept the prices honest too, with an $18 novel sitting right alongside a $649 watch.

## 1\. Maison Margiela Lost Eden Eau de Parfum

Spring fragrance usually means white florals, so a scent built on candied red apple and smoky oud is a proper plot twist. [Maison Margiela Lost Eden](https://www.mecca.com/en-au/maison-margiela/lost-eden-edp-100ml-I-083559/?ref=blankidentity.com.au) opens on candied red apple and juicy forbidden fruit, moves through a vanilla heart and lands on smoky oud, which Mecca describes as a push and pull of desire, sweet against smoky. It is tagged new at Mecca and costs $359 for 100ml.

## 2\. Mount Lai Gua Sha Facial Lifting Tool in Rose Quartz
