The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 7 July 2020 4 Comments

Floratropia is a new(ish) natural perfumery line, emphasizing sustainability and the reduction of waste, and thus dispensing with traditional fragrance bottles (although they do sell refillable spray flacons, with optional vegan leather cases). There are four unisex fragrances, all developed by perfumer Delphine Thierry. La Terre (sap and roots, leaves, moss and undergrowth flowers) would be my unsniffed pick; it's €70 for 40 ml at Galeries Lafayette. A discovery box with four 3 ml samples is €25 directly from Floratropia.

Tuesday scent of the day 7/7

Posted by Robin on 7 July 2020 222 Comments

A very happy World Chocolate Day to you! (And yes, it’s also Tuesday.) What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m taking community project points for the rum in good old Serge Lutens Chêne. (The original Lubin Idole would be a better fit with the weather, but I am all out.) Tea at the moment is Harney CTC Assam.

Reminder: 7/10 is Piña Colada Day…

The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 6 July 2020 11 Comments

In case you didn't love the "regular" crystal limited edition of Lalique de Lalique for 2020, here's another chance to drop a tidy sum on the fragrance: a new Hirondelles bottle in blue, for the 100th anniversary of Réné Lalique’s villa in Wingen-sur-Mer in France. "Four glassmakers were needed to create the body of the 20ml flacon, from molten crystal, using the soufflé technique. Each flacon is topped with the brand’s signature ‘tiara stopper’ first created in 1913, shaped by five master glassmakers using the pressé technique. They are then cut, satin-finished and polished by hand." €2,400. (via luxepackaginginsight)
