The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 19 October 2019 Leave a Comment

If winter is coming (and I do see signs) I'd just as soon have it as green as possible. "Winter Green by Dasein Fragrance makes its debut for the winter/holiday 2019 season. Winter Green has been produced in a limited run so be sure to get your hands on a bottle before this beauty goes into hibernation. The scent was created as a collaboration between Dasein’s nose Sam Rader and fellow indie perfumer Josh Meyer of Imaginary Authors. Winter Green unisex fragrance features notes of wild mint, pink peppercorn, sambac, evergreen needles, pomelo zest and beeswax." $125 for 50 ml at Twisted Lily.

Day and night. Beachy sun and evening fog. Sunshine pop and a cello concerto. This is how I think of Imaginary Authors Sundrunk next to Masque Milano Luci ed Ombre. (Kevin reviewed Luci ed Ombre here, but I’ve recently discovered it, and I can’t resist bringing it to your attention again.) Both brands deliver stories with their fragrances, and, no surprise, they’re stark complements…
