The daily lemming

L'Artisan Parfumeur gears up for the Year of the Tiger with a collector bottle of Passage d'Enfer. "This translucent lily is borne aloft by coils of incense that transport it towards the sky, offering it eternal life. In 1999, Passage d'Enfer embodied the imminence of a new millennium. In 2022, its brilliance is elevated by a celebrated tiger. The tiger ushers in a positive cycle, full of determination, surprises, and spontaneity. Fittingly echoed in the mystical wake of Passage d'Enfer, it embodies a renewal, a journey towards other spiritual horizons." €130 for 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

Lush is getting ready for Valentine's Day, and among other items there's a new shower gel: I Can Resist Everything But Temptation. The long description ("Whether you love to share showers or go it alone, you'll want to get wild with this irresistible body wash. It starts with the perfect throuple: an infusion of cinnamon, red rose petals and ginseng, ingredients that are known for their aphrodisiac effects, and then kicks it into high gear with cinnamon leaf oil for an extra-spicy good time. So go ahead, lather up, enjoy the moment, and just try to resist this one") is tempting but ruined for me by the short description ("A sweet, sharp, apple-scented candle"). Maybe it's your lemming, maybe not.

It's that time of year when many of us realize we need a new lip balm, right? Glossier's popular Balm Dotcom ("a hydrating lip balm packed with antioxidants and natural emollients to nourish dry, chafed skin—in original or other fun flavors") has a new-ish limited edition flavor, Cookie Butter ("sweet, slightly spiced Speculoos cookies, with a melted caramel tint"). $12 for 15 ml, or get any three flavors (including Cookie Butter, if you like) for $30. At Glossier.
