A Busy Year for Billie Eilish

Grammy Award-winning artist Billie Eilish has been awfully busy this year. 

"Happier Than Ever", her sophomore studio album came out on July 30, 2021 – she sings with unsparing honesty about her rapid ascent to stardom and all its accompanying horrors. It’s woozy, effortlessly melodic, and showcases her command over the pop landscape. 

And then this month, she launched her first fragrance called Eilish, featuring gourmand notes of vanilla and cocoa. 

It comes in a gorgeous metallic bust that looks more like a sculpture than something you'd expect from a celebrity perfume. 

And it was inspired by Eilish's favorite areas on the human body: the collarbone, neck, and back. Eilish told Vogue she didn't want the bottle to depict a certain body type, since there's beauty in them all. 

What's more, the $68 scent is vegan (like Eilish herself), cruelty-free, and made with clean ingredients. There is a limit in place of only one bottle per customer though. 

Consider it the hottest item on any Gen Z Christmas list. 

Two days after her perfume’s release, the pop icon debuted a vegan chocolate bar named after the album. 

The "Happier Than Ever" treat is made with rice milk powder, cocoa butter, raw cane sugar, chocolate liquor, tiger nut powder, hazelnut paste, and bourbon vanilla extract. The bar is kosher, 100% organic certified, as well as Rainforest Alliance certified. The 2.8 oz bar contains 37% cocoa and is wrapped in a compostable foil and cardboard box. 

The bar is available for pre-order on the singer-songwriter’s online store. All orders are set to ship on December 01. But be warned that each bar will set you back $10 plus shipping.

If you don't already know, Eilish has been vegan since she was twelve years old and was previously honoured by PETA for speaking about animals and the environment.
