The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 5 April 2021 6 Comments

Yet another luxury home scenting object from Diptyque: the Stone & Grand Antique Marble diffuser. "Atypical and delightfully decorative. Made from the recuperated cuttings of marble slabs, shaped and polished by hand, each object is unique, and made exclusively for diptyque. The marble known as "Grand Antique" from the Pyrénnée région in France, is one of the most prestigious marbles in the world; instantly recognizable by its bold veins of contrasting black and white. Hand-crafted by the skilled artisans of a studio in the Ariège region of France, specializing in marble and precious stones. For use with diptyque sablier refills, sold separately: imbibe the wool felt contained in the aluminum cup, and then place on sphere, turning it upside-down to release even more delicate hints of perfume." $295. Hat tip to Kevin!

Happy Easter, everyone! It’s time to fill your (fantasy) Easter basket:

1. You can pick one perfume, new or old: what is it?

2. And you can have one other scented product (a candle, a body lotion, anything): what is it?

3. Your favorite candy?

4. And any random present you’d like the Easter bunny to bring you.

(5. And an extra, pandemic-related question: what is the first thing you are looking forward to doing when this is all over? Or, if your life is already back to normal, tell us about something fantastic you’ve been able to do…)

Worth considering if you're trying to get your cart at Smallflower up to $75 for free shipping: Lakrids by Bülow Original Chocolate Coated Liquorice. "The Original was the first product developed when Johan Bülow had the original idea to coat liquorice with chocolate. People were at first skeptical about the idea, but the popular product soon saw the light of day. The combination of sweet liquorice, exclusive milk chocolate and fine liquorice powder is according to many instantly addictive." $18.
