Perspective
The thinking behind the standard, before it meets a single product.
Not everything worth reading here is about a purchase. Perspective is where the larger questions live: what the luxury wellness category has become, why discernment is the thing in short supply, and what a product actually has to earn before it belongs on this site at all.
These are the pieces to read when the question isn’t which one to buy, but whether any of it is worth it, and how that gets decided in the first place.
