Juicy Couture has launched Just Moi, a new amber vanilla fragrance for women…
The daily lemming
An upcoming set of body butters from Lush includes more Posh Chocolate (the lotion is great stuff) and my personal lemming, Pineapple Tart: "Meet your piña colada fix without the regrets. Order a tropical downpour of Brazil nut oil, aloe vera and avocado oil, with a creamy pineapple twist — for the kind of ridiculously soft skin people write ridiculously catchy songs about." Limited edition; in two sizes ($17 / $34) at Lush USA.

Wednesday scent of the day 7/16
It’s Hump Day plus World Snake Day. Birthdays: Ida B. Wells, Ginger Rogers, Cal Tjader, Anita Brookner, Will Ferrell. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m hitting the road today for some lake time up north…I’ll be off the internet most of the day. I’m wearing my own cheap and cheerful DIY lotion with ylang and sweet orange.
Reminder: on 7/18, we’re doing Cheap & Cheerful Friday…
Very faint substances
But what we found when we tested them on very faint substances is that they perform just as well as the control group, but they reacted very strongly to the smells when they were there.
So it was not about being able to smell smells that they couldn't smell before, but they reacted completely different. So it was more on a reactivity level, and that is thought to be protective of the child.
