I am always intrigued by lip scrubs, but I'm pretty sure I can't be bothered. If you are in the market, here's Lush's Trick or Treat: "Trick Or Treat? How about both? The trick to this scrubby wonder is in its ingredients. Castor sugar is a natural exfoliant that lets you scrub dry lips, while organic jojoba oil keeps them soft, soothed, and protected. And the treat? Lick off the excess when you're done scrubbing to uncover its deliciously sour lime secret." The 25g tub is $12.95.

Diptyque’s holiday collection for 2021 is out. We start with “…a trio of limited edition scented candles with gold-coloured lids, decorations in actual gold paint and colours that call to mind malachite, lapis lazuli and cornelian. Each of the three scents is a unique interpretation of a winter classic, and hence the ideal accompaniment for the holiday season: Flocon, an olfactory transcription of snowfall, with light, velvety notes of white musks blended with those of mimosa, a winter flower; Biscuit, with the spicy flavours of festive end-of-year desserts enhanced by the density of patchouli; and Sapin [see close up below], the fragrant freshness of mountain pines intensified by the woody notes of an open fire.” The 190g candle with gold lid is $78; the 70g votive is $42 (or a boxed set of 3 is $126)…

It’s Tuesday and International Gin & Tonic Day. The splitmeet will start this coming Saturday. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Aftelier Candide for Pantone 13-0647 TCX Illuminating (I could not find a teacup in Illuminating, but you can find cortado cups and mugs.) Tea at the moment is Numi Chinese Breakfast with a dash of cinnamon.
Reminder: on 10/22, wear a fragrance that evokes one of Pantone’s picks for the Autumn/Winter 2021/2022 NYFW Color Palette…
