The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 4 March 2021 6 Comments

The latest solidarity hand cream from L'Occitane: "100% of profits* made from this Solidarity Hand Cream will fund projects for women in Burkina Faso, focusing on education for girls, microfinance, professional development and entrepreneurship, thanks to the support of the L’OCCITANE Foundation. Rich in shea butter (20%), this hand cream helps nourish, protect and soften the hands." (The limited edition has a "hibiscus scent", but I can't find any description.) $12.

    I’m wondering whether all these recent hibiscus interpretations will have anything in common?

      Vague tropical floral? No idea though.

    It’s interesting that hibiscus seems to be such a thing this spring, since I think (as someone else mentioned) very few have a scent.

      Exotic fantasy flower — decent antidote to lack of pandemic travel? (Ha, just guessing, I have no idea where these trends come from.)

    Dried hibiscus flowers definitely have a characteristic scent. Sort of citrussy.

    Fragrantica describes it as floral with musky undertone. It lists orchid as a synthetic fantasy note, however.
