The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 28 May 2021 Leave a Comment

Yet another item in Diptyque's upcoming (due in early June, although a number of the items are already out in stores) Summer Essentials collection celebrating the brand’s 60th anniversary (and this isn't even the last lemming-worthy product): a reissue of Vinaigre de Toilette multi-use fragranced tonic, originally introduced in 1975. "The iconic Vinagre de Toilette is reinvented for the summer with an infusion of plants from the Mediterranean basin. With aromatic notes of lavender, rosemary and thyme, its fragrance refreshes and soothes the senses. Its uses are many: it softens bath water for a relaxing soak; after a shave or a shower, it tones and invigorates the skin. Add a few drops to the final rinse after shampooing to leave hair soft, glossy and lightly scented. At home, infuse it in boiling water to purify the air in a room. The artist Luke Edward Hall's colour illustrations decorate this limited edition. The bottle also features a genuine sprig of lavender, evoking the Mediterranean inspiration behind the composition." $80 for 200 ml at Saks.

Friday scent of the day 5/28

Posted by Robin on 28 May 2021 226 Comments

It’s Summer Vacation Friday! Our community project for today: wear a fragrance that reminds you of a favorite vacation, that fits an upcoming vacation, or that would work for a vacation you wish you could take. (If it’s winter where you are, adjust accordingly.)

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 went with a scent that would fit the images of camping in the American West that I’ve posted for the last few days: Ineke Idyllwild. (I am not really a camper, but I do love road trips out West…)
