The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 30 November 2017 7 Comments

I was probably happier before I knew this existed: Armani Bois d'Encens Shower Gel. "A body wash with the Haute Couture fragrance of Armani/ Privé Bois d'Encens. Start your fragrance ritual in the shower, bathe in luxury with a body wash inspired by the secrets of the Armani hotel. The Bois d'Encens luxury eau de parfum showcases Somalian Incense, an olfactory reflection of the hours Giorgio Armani spent with his grandmother in Italian churches. It is a rebirth of the mystery of the oldest known perfume in the world, Kyphi, created 4,000 years ago by the Egyptians. Bois d'Encens springs from Giorgio Armani's own memories. Mystical and enchanting, Bois d'Encens balances the essence and pure incense of woody perfumes, sumptuously enhanced with vetiver and cedar. It is the luxury fragrance Giorgio Armani wears every day." 200 ml for $50 at Bergdorf Goodman.
