Tried and tested, and disappointed, with luxury’s most famous
Here’s an interesting video from last year about one man’s exploration of luxury:
Benjamin Wallace seems to be a Lambda personality–he sought out achievement and uniqueness by trying out some of the world’s most famous luxury items, including the 1947 Cheval Blanc–but in the end he was left somewhat unimpressed, and thought that many of the things he tried weren’t worth their extravagant cost.
Luxury is in the eye of the beholder–even though the things that Wallace tried are the ‘generally accepted’ to be the very best, his opinions perhaps differed from those of a ‘real’ connoisseur. It’s very important to figure out what’s important to you, what gives you the most pleasure–knowing and being able to seek that which gives you the most pleasure is the greatest luxury.
