The $125 lifestyle offering is currently tracking for a massive Q4 debut, with pre-orders dominating the key 18-to-49 burnt-out millennial demographic. Representatives for Gwyneth Paltrow’s wellness empire confirmed the project has officially been fast-tracked for a wide domestic release.

Sourced from an exclusive first-look at the brand’s Santa Monica headquarters, the 10-ounce pour, titled Per My Previous Note, is being positioned as Goop’s major holiday tentpole. Industry analysts note the fragrance profile heavily leans into late-stage corporate dread, featuring top notes of stale breakroom espresso, cold ozone, and the distinct metallic tang of CC’ing a vice president on a mid-tier dispute.
