There will be blood.

For all of our favorite blood-thirsty souls out there, IN FIORE has a special trick-or-treat just for you…

ON OCTOBER 31, in celebration of All Hallow’s Eve, we will be giving away precious little vials of BLOOD CHRYSANTHEMUM blended with SANGRE DE DRAGO. Wicked pleasures for our wicked In Fiore friends. Use this healing potion to arm yourself against the cold, winter months in case you need to slay any dragons (and scare off any lingering souls visiting from the underworld). Far better than a chain of garlic.
Oct 31, in store only, while supplies last.

Autumn

“I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its tone is mellower, its colours are richer, and it is tinged with a little sorrow. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and its content.”- Lin Yutang

Underwater Swarm

All photos © Alexander James // Underwater butterfly series inspired by the loss of three close friends. As James explains, “Imagine the whole of your life changing to such an extreme where you are unrecognizable at the end of the transformation. This offers great hope to me.” Using butterflies as a symbol of rebirth, James also found comfort in the way Greek mythology links them to the souls of those who have died. No post-production was used.

Infinity

Sunlight and shadows in Botswana

Sunlight and shadows highlight a river Bushman in a canoe in the Okavango River. When the river swells and floods, it creates an alluvial fan of more than 10,000 square miles (26,000 square kilometers). (From the upcoming National Geographic book, “Visions of Earth”) // source
