Launch Digest: Heirloom Tomato THC, Intoxicating Fragrances (Minus The Toxins), And A Litany Of Glow-Inducing Launches

New Things For Your Condiment Collection, Wine Cellar, And Takeout Habit

While Victoria was getting busy with Augustinus, her son Brooklyn has been in the kitchen (or his people have been in the kitchen), developing a new line of condiments. Cloud23 – referencing his dad’s jersey – is debuting exclusively at Whole Foods nationwide and in the UK, where it’ll attempt to sell $17 hot sauces. (You, like me, might enjoy more details via this Daily Mail article, which slams Brooklyn’s culinary skills and points out that he once asked a chef how he would know when a hashbrown was cooked.) Beckham’s LLC has filed for trademarks on ketchup, aioli, Worcestershire, and a slew of other things you can put on top of food, so he’s evidently keeping his product concepts diversified.

Rose Los Angeles partnered with Potrero Hill neighborhood deli Aurora Alimentari on a Datterini Gialli Tomato and Basil Delight, made with California-grown tomatoes from Full Belly farm (but informed by months of field research, including a visit to a village at the base of Mount Vesuvius). Like all of Rose’s Delights, these edibles are truly one of a kind, infused with an octimene-rich sativa strain and 3 MG THC for a gently buoyant, euphoric effect. Also like all of the brand’s Delights: so delicious you’ll wish you could eat the whole box without the psychoactive repercussions.

Speaking of sweet treats that will make you feel fantastic: Spring & Mulberry launched a new Essence collection this week, a quartet of ungarnished bars infused with aromatic essential oils. Just when I thought this date-sweetened chocolate couldn’t get any better. Something tells me these Mint Leaf, Coffee, Blood Orange, and Bergamot bars will be at the top of my personal treat — and gifting — rotation.

Family-owned Santa Barbara winery Pali Wine Co. released a very special bottle this week: the first vintage of its Chenin Blanc, and what is believed to be the only Chenin Blanc currently grown in the area. In 2022, after a bout of disease killed 20% of their Pinot Noir vines, the team decided to graft Chenin Blanc onto existing rootstock that had previously supported their Pinot. Simultaneously, they shifted their focus to organic and regenerative farming practices. Born of this experimentation, excitement, and nervous anticipation is a wine with bright acidity, oceanic minerality, and aromatic white peach, jasmine, and honeycomb — the delicious result of a labor of love and determination.

Kosas and goop Kitchen partnered to make a timeless lunch combo a little more cute. The “Kosas Inner Glow Soup & Salad Set” features a fresh, crunchy, plant-based salad and a bone broth, developed to improve skin health and hydration. Food is medicine, and it is also the most important part of any beauty routine! Get rewarded for ordering takeout, and restock on your Kosas favorites: if you order the set, you’ll score 20% off sitewide from now through October 1. 

Items For Beautifying Your Living Room, Kitchen Counter, And Shower

Our Place launched its latest Traditionware Diwali collection in collaboration with author and cook Radhi Devlukia Shetty. Available in an exclusive Clay colorway inspired by traditional clay pots, matkas, and handis of South Asia, the limited-edition Always Pan and Pot feature knobs etched with saffron. Shop the collection now, if it hasn’t already sold out.

Clare V. partnered with Schoolhouse to launch the designer’s first full collection of home goods, from wool rugs to a striped sofa for your Parisian pied-a-terre (or for your LA living room to feel that way). Quiet Town launched The Spot, a modular caddy that works just as well in your shower as it does in your herb garden.

Liis And Abel Make You More Fragrant And Less Toxic

One of my favorite fragrance brands, Liis, launched a new scent this week, named after a line from Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116. Of True Minds smells just as poetic and autumnal as it sounds. Nutmeg and amaretto marry with patchouli and smoky resins for a deep, intense, and special fragrance that pairs well with a fireplace. 

Founded by a former winemaker, Abel is dedicated to making 100% natural fragrances that don’t rely on harsh petrochemicals to make boundary-pushing scents. Believe me: these perfumes, much like Liis’s fragrances, don’t smell anything like the organic rollerballs you might associate with non-toxic scents. This week, Abel launched Minis, designed to tuck into your bag or carry-on for a refresh wherever you go. Available in all nine of the brand’s scents (including hormone-happy scents Nurture and Pause), pick your favorite and don’t look back.
