The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 8 August 2017 8 Comments

Frédéric Malle is appearing in the daily lemming more often than I’d like. But what can you do? The new hand soap sets come with six 50g bars for $90: “We are delighted to introduce a new addition to our home and body lines: purchase our full soap collection and experience different scents in all corners of your home.
