Remember Siddhartha? Diane Kendal's right-hand woman and occasional Proenza hair-muse? Well we'll be damned if we didn't catch her packing the best (smelling) idea backstage at Reed Krakoff: a bright little bottle of Spray de Ricqlès, France's answer to Binaca, nestled amongst the brushes and lipstick tubes. (Fun fact: the Ricqlès brand was founded in 1838 as a medicinal-beverage company, and they now make peppermint-flavored sodas with the slogan ' Le glouglou qui fait glagla,' which apparently means 'drinking it gives you the shivers.' Related: don't drink your breath spray.)

Useful when you're getting up in models' grills all day, Sid explained, “The bottle says 'Les idées fraîche en Spray!'' And while 1838 doesn't make it a particularly 'fresh' idea, we have to say, her breath smelled great. (Plus, it gave us flashbacks to the '90s breath-spray craze, and this terrifying video.) Also, it's sort of like how, when someone has really great breath, it automatically makes you self-conscious about your own? We were desperate to get our hands on some; it looks so much cooler in a purse than a pack of Trident—or Mentos, if you want to get really '90s with it.

'I just like how it looks so old-school,” Sid said. “I got it at that discount pharmacy, CityPharma, in Paris... I just saw it and I thought, 'I have to have that in my makeup bag.'' A considerate and charming beauty wizard? We love you, Sid.
