Vosges Haut-Chocolat
Vosges Haut-Chocolat is a luxury chocolate experience focused on raising awareness about indigenous populations through the exploration of spices, herbs, flowers, and exotic ingredients. Through the medium of chocolate, Vosges aims to spread the word on cultures and religions of the world in an effort to promote peace and unity.
Admittedly, it’s a pretty heavy mission for chocolate, but the sweets themselves are so incredibly creative and undeniably delicious that it’s easy to support, especially with flavors like bacon and chocolate, or Japanese macha green tea with white chocolate and cherry blossom petals. Known as Kayoko, this exotic truffle makes up part of Vosges’ Green Collection, which was created with inspiration from the scent of fresh cut grass, springtime blossoms and spices, teas, fruits, and flowers indigenous to Asia.
Another notable seasonal collection is Vosges’ chocolate Easter bunnies, which, not surprisingly, are likewise inspired by travel. Take the Almafi Bunny for example – a solid white chocolate rabbit with pink peppercorns and lemon zest – intended to invoke the feeling of sipping limoncello under the Italian sun. Wherever Vosges’ creations take you, the infusions of rare spices and flowers tucked into delicate chocolate will leave you wanting for more — after all, you are saving the world.

Fate is the record, Dr. Dog were destined to make a timeless yet contemporary distillation of the band’s open-armed, big-hearted sound. Inventive, magnificently realized, and absolutely irresistible, the Park The Van Records release sees the Philadelphia-based quintet filtering the gamut of American popular music into its own idiosyncratic brand of blue-eyed, dilated-pupil soul. As ever, Dr. Dog makes magic from an enduring pop palette of intricate harmonies, shape-shifting melodies, and ramshackle audio ingenuity all presented through their slightly skewed and utterly individualistic outlook.
