On October 2, Ayumi Hamasaki turns 41 years old. But she’s giving her fans gifts instead!

After years of pleas, Ayu has released all of her music videos, in full, on her YouTube channel! This is a departure from the short version videos fans have been stuck with.

The second gift is Ayu’s first fragrance! It is named “æternal un.” It opens with a crisp and beautiful neroli floral note, followed by an elegant mixture of jasmine, rose, and iris. It finishes with with a semi-sweet oriental chypre for a calm and luxurious end.

The top notes are neroli, hyacinth, grapefruit, and galbanum. The middle notes are jasmine, rose, iris, lily of the valley, ylang ylang, and carnation. The base notes are sandalwood, vetiver, amber, chypre, musk, leather, and moss. Pre-orders are open now through October 31. The pre-orders will ship in late December. The visuals for the perfume can be found below along with pre-order information!

Vencedor do British Book Award.

Sobre a Obra:

Dois irmãos. Um, mudo; o outro, o seu protetor. Todos os anos, a família visita o santuário que fica na desolada faixa de costa conhecida apenas como «Loney», desesperadamente à espera de uma cura. Durante as longas horas de espera, os rapazes são deixados sozinhos. E não conseguem resistir à passagem que se vislumbra a cada mudança da maré, à velha casa que se ergue ao longe… Muitos anos mais tarde, Hanny é um homem feito e já não precisa dos cuidados do irmão. Mas depois descobre-se o cadáver de uma criança, morta há muito. O Loney acaba sempre por dar à costa os seus segredos.

Sobre o Autor:

Andrew Michael Hurley has lived in Manchester and London, and is now based in Lancashire, where he teaches English Literature and Creative Writing. He has had two collections of short stories published by Lime Tree Press. The Loney is his first novel – it was first published in October 2014 by Tartarus Press, a tiny independent publisher based in Yorkshire, as a 300-copy limited-edition.
