Jane at her desk.Exploring W Beauty Director Jane Larkworthy’s office is like getting a glimpse into the future: It’s filled with the new products that everyone will be talking about months from now.

Right about now the mixture of candles, room sprays and her signature sent of Le Labo Santal 33 is wafting through the W hallways. “I would compare the aroma to a pasta puttanesca—which basically translates to ‘whore’s style pasta,’” she says of the heady mix. “It is a little bit of everything, and the fun part is, it changes every day."
