The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 13 July 2021 2 Comments

A lemming for anyone who loves the smell of Moroccanoil's hair products: the new Hair and Body Fragrance Mist, Brumes du Maroc. "This ultra-fine mist for hair and body features the much-loved Moroccanoil scent, an exotic blend of spicy amber and sweet floral notes. The lightweight formula contains antioxidant-rich argan oil and Vitamin E to nourish and hydrate skin and hair (without disrupting hairstyles). It also features a UV absorber to help prevent hair damage from sun exposure and preserve natural color." Available at Amazon, $18 for 30 ml or $32 for 100 ml.

A single droplet of liquid

Posted by Robin on 12 July 2021 6 Comments

Coty’s touch-less fragrance tester is a digital innovation that gives customers the ultimate control over fragrance discovery in store. While spray testers oversaturate the air, overwhelming the senses and surrounding environment, this device delivers a single droplet of liquid directly to an arm or a blotter, offering customers a less invasive testing experience. It also uses data to allow Coty, in partnership with retailers, to optimize the placement of the testers and the customer experience by ensuring beauty advisors are on the spot when needed.

Posted by Robin on 10 July 2021 185 Comments

Welcome to our annual summer reading poll! (And we’ve done quarterly reading polls the last couple years, so if you want more recommendations, see fall, winter and spring. Also, you can help me out by telling me if you’d like to keep the reading polls going on a quarterly basis, or go back to once or twice a year?)

Author birthdays this weekend: Marcel Proust, Jean Kerr and Alice Munro on Saturday; Jhumpa Lahiri and Kevin Powers on Sunday.

The poll: please recommend a great book to add to our summer reading lists, and tell us what fragrance we should wear while reading it…
