The history of NASA and Charles Schulz's Peanuts dates back to 1968 when Snoopy was named the aerospace agency's safety mascot — a distinction held to this day through the Silver Snoopy Award program.

The dress rehearsal for the lunar landing was a success and is celebrated 50 years later with this limited edition t-shirt. Available in black, grey, and white, the shirt features a space-ready Snoopy walking above the year 1969.
This smooth and seductive ultra-male oriental fougère captivates both men and women alike. Inspired by the vibrant revival of Lafayette Street — a historic thoroughfare weaving through iconic New York neighborhoods like Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown—the fragrance embodies the energy of its surroundings.
