The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 20 August 2018 Leave a Comment

For layering fans? Deux candles from La Belle Mèche, in Green Grey ("WOOD FIRE x RED BERRIES : smoked, fruity and sophisticated. Notes of woods and smoke are sweetened by blackberries and blackcurrants on the heart. Vanilla and pralin warmth the fragrance.") or my pick, Pink Powder ("GRAPEFRUIT x GINGER : fresh, fizzy and light. Top notes of fresh citrus balanced with spiced notes of ginger, nutmeg and cardamom.") 300g each for €75.
