The daily lemming
The latest thing from Jo Malone: Scent to Go, a fragranced disc to scent your personal space (they suggest putting in a purse or luggage, or maybe a drawer or closet, etc etc). They're $58 a pop, and should last about 3 months. (I can't seem to find out what they're made of, or if they can be refreshed with the spray fragrances.) Available in English Pear & Freesia, Pomegranate Noir and Lime Basil & Mandarin.
