The (almost) daily lemming
Pricy but tempting: "Wake up! SALT + Café Kumquat Body Scrub is simply delicious for your skin. You'll fall in love with its calming yet invigorating exfoliation. Natural sea and mineral salts join ground coffee in a rich blend of avocado and safflower oil. Skin appears moisturized, revived and softened. Excellent for providing a smoother skin appearance." $42 for 344g at Bergdorf Goodman.
Tuberose
A 3 minute spot from International Flavors & Fragrances' in house naturals facility, Laboratoire Monique Rémy, about the cultivation and processing of tuberose in Mysore. Perfumer Dominique Ropion appears at about the 2:30 mark.
Friday scent of the day 11/20
It’s Friday and Universal Children’s Day. Our community project for today: for Bo Derek’s birthday, wear a perfume that you would rate an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
I’m in a solid 11 that also works well for pretending you’re on the beach at Las Hadas in Manzanillo (preferably, without any of the characters from the 10 movie) — Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower.
Reminder: on 11/27, pick your Black Friday poison…
