The daily lemming
None of Your Beeswax lip balm from Lush (it's been around for years, but is not always available in the US): "Get ready to pucker up to this lip balm's ultra-soothing, ultra-moisturizing, and ultra-deliciousness. We packed this one with fair trade shea butter and extra virgin coconut oil, so there's no need for the traditional beeswax, making it totally vegan. Murumuru and cupuaçu butters lock in moisture, while Japan wax provides the protection, and fresh lemon, vanilla and mandarin make for sweet, lemon curd kisses." 12g for $13.
Tuesday scent of the day 6/8
It’s Tuesday, Frank Lloyd Wright’s birthday and World Oceans Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Maria Candida Gentile Lady Day….which I suppose is only a partial point, since it does have gardenia but is neither tropical nor beachy. Tea at the moment is Kusmi Anastasia.
Reminder: on 6/11, for King Kamehameha I Day, wear a tropical or beachy floral…
Love smells like rose
When I started dating my husband, which was a long time ago, he gave me a bottle of Anais Anais for our first Christmas together. I still connote that smell with love, and I actually still like the smell of it; it’s a very pretty, floral green. But I also will say love smells like rose. Every woman loves the smell of rose. I was taught by some of the best perfumers in the world in Grasse [France], and I was always taught that you always put a touch of rose in there, because it reminds you of getting that bouquet, it reminds you of those special occasions.
— Procter & Gamble perfumer Zerlina Dubois (she did the Herbal Essences fragrances in the 90s) on the smell of Love. Read more in The Master Perfumer Who Made Showers Smell Orgasmic at The Cut.
