Like the all beige sad children's room
For a few years now, I have been observing - less intentionally and more on the side, primarily on social media, but indeed also 'in real life' - a phenomenon that I call 'the Westwing apartment'. I might be making myself a bit unpopular now.
The 'Westwing apartment' is essentially beige and white, occasionally livened up by a cheeky gray. It can be in an old or new building, and its residents claim that it is very important for them to express their 'personality'. They therefore like to choose a style that they describe with adjectives like 'scandi', 'japandi', 'boho', or - very important! - 'minimalistic'. A broken white sofa, replica Wishbone chairs, coffee table books from Tom Ford or Chanel, and something DIY from texture paste or concrete - and there you have it. The online retailer Westwing sells this factory-made style, which in my humble opinion has as much personality as - well, you know.
It is particularly nice when the Westwing apartment has children's rooms. They are just as cheerfully monochrome beige as the rest of the apartment, because the influencer mom can't have it any other way. There are even beige unicorns - isn't that sad? I don't have any children of my own, but none of the kids in my circle of friends and acquaintances who were allowed to choose the color of their room opted for beige. I would never claim that children in these 'all beige sad children's rooms' are less happy than those in rooms where one might think they could go blind from glitter and color. But the so-called 'personality' in these rooms is rarely that of the child who lives there.
Cute accessories must not be missing - a touch of color is allowed - and Hermès' Cabriole is also very well suited, as it is high-quality and discreet - and the bottle is truly charming. The scent is pleasant and unobtrusive and in its essence delicate and beige - just as it should be. Fleeting and weightless and warm - a hint of bloom and foliage, a bit of blonde wood - and yet better on the influencer mom's wrist after the goodnight kiss than on any body part of the child (in cheerful white-navy from Jacadi or Petit Bateau). Cabriole is a nice scent - in the very best sense - as peaceful as a nap and as tender as a kiss on the head. And also so wonderfully beige.
Conclusion: now I'm going to wash my mouth out with soap.

I call it depression beige. I'm a proud Bauhaus fan, and back then, over 100 years ago, it was very colorful. A children's room in beige, oh dear. But I definitely need to test the scent. I'm curious.
I really like the Cabriole - for those days when beige is the mood, and perfume feels too loud, but a comforting hint is desired. That’s why it keeps popping up on my wishlist, then dropping off again… once the beige day is over and the world gets colorful again. But it’s lovely and peaceful…
And I just thought - are there Lego bricks for creative building in these wonderfully unique colors yet?
Anyway, the trophy can only be beige.
Beautifully described how these standardized formats are so popular!
The scent is similar to the Petit Bateau boutiques: a projection of adult desires onto the little ones.
