The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 16 January 2020 3 Comments

Wouldn't this look nice next to the Trudon Salta candle I might buy? The Skeem Match Cloche: "We discovered this vessel shape in Japan and while we weren’t certain what it was for, we knew it was perfect for us. The original was tiny and clear so we made it large enough to hold our best-selling 4" matches and updated it in this sophisticated color palette. Each piece is hand blown and fitted with a cork stopper in the bottom. It reminds us of a vintage glass cloche, originally used to protect emerging seedlings in gardens. Once the matches are gone, it can be a curiosity used to display a found specimen." $30, shown in Violet, also sold in Smoke, Sky and Moss.

A delicate custom scent

Posted by Robin on 16 January 2020 5 Comments

This includes Bali Barret, overseer of all the house’s women’s offerings, to consult on the colors. (She and Touron have Hermès’s library of 75,000 silk swatches and 900 leather shades, complete with pigment formulas, some around a hundred years old, to play with.) Christine Nagel, Hermès’s perfumer, created a delicate custom scent for the lipsticks. And Pierre Hardy, creative director of jewelry and shoes, designed the graphic packaging, which is made of lacquered metal and Hermès’s “permabrass” hardware (the same that is used on its handbags).

—  Hermès moves into makeup with the Rouge Hermès lipstick (24 colors, $67, refills $42). Read more in Is This the Birkin Bag of Lipstick? at Wall Street Journal.
